A few new things

Kathy at Kathy's Sit and Stitch let me know about a sale at Knowledge and Needles, which is owned by Ann.  Ann was very sweet and helpful as I emailed her my order.  She even mailed my order out that same day!  It arrived today and here is a pic of what I got...


From left to right is Keys to the Kingdom by Rosewood Manor, Lighthouse kit by Michael Powell, and Bug Collector with thread pack by Jeannette Douglas.  Ann also included three very cute little Prairie Schooler designs with my order! 

I wanted a Michael Powell kit for ages, but have had a really hard time finding them.  I was thrilled when I saw that Ann had a few of the kits available!  And they were all 40% off!!  Keys to the Kingdom has been on my wishlist since it first came out.  As for Jeannette Douglas, well, I've always been a big fan of her work and just had to get something when I saw her designs were 40% off too! 

There is no stitching progress to share today.  It was my day off, but I think I slept through most of it. Something I don't begrudge myself is sleep time.  If I think I can sleep, I take advantage of it no matter what time it is because I'm usually short on sleep due to the overnight shifts and the extra early start times for my day shifts (6:30am, which means I gotta get up at 5am).  I did manage to get "Summer" by Victoria Sampler set up in my Q-Snaps and the threads are all organized, so, now I just need some stitching time.  Hopefully soon.....  

Well, I'm going to go watch some TV and relax, maybe even cross a few Xs. 

Happy Stitching!

I'm so glad Kathy introduced you to Ann and her store! She has some wonderful sales and she's always very helpful. I stopped there on my way home from vacation this summer. I'm also headed to Kathy's for a SAL this weekend so I'm hoping to see Ann there.
Love your choices for stash enhancement!
