Stashing again?

Nothing is more therapeutic than stashing :-) The picture says it all. I'm guilty as charged! Don't you just love the colours? So, English-y. And the patterns? Roses. of course... so romantic :-)















Now these... these are the materials I helped a friend to pick out for her patchwork project. She has no blog but I will let you have a peek at it when she has something to show later :-)



Well, so much for my unexpected lovely weekend, time to get back to reality.....

Stash-in-waiting

I am so excited about all these floss rings that my daughter bought for me in Singapore but I have to be patient as they will be staying just there for a while. No point sending them back all the way and incur unnecessary costs. Anyway. I am committed to some other projects at the moment (which I'll share another time) but I certainly hope to stitch up some pieces for the floss ring tags in the near future.

... so many colours, so pretty :-)

Smashing stashing time

Went downtown to one of the bigger haberdasheries last weekend. What luck! They were having a clearance sale and look what I found and took home...

3 pairs of scissors!!! The biggie for cutting fabrics and the smaller ones for different project bags. Not exactly what I had in mind. Actually, I've been drooling over (lol) those small quaint-looking needlework scissors I saw on other stitchers' blogs. Have been on a look out for these for a while but looks like the shops here just do not stock them :-(

Buttons and charms... Have no plans for these yet but I'm sure they will come in handy one of these days (I think we don't call it stashing for nothing!!!). I just love the gold ornate-looking buttons, don't you? So antique-y, if there is ever such a word :-)

And lace. There was an overflowing abundance of laces of all kinds at the shop, all knocked down by 70% :-) I exercised full restrain (pats on the back!!!) and decided to just stash this (lol). The size and colour, I'm bound to make use of it.

Also got some fabrics. Again no projects in mind, just pure indulgence :-) :-) :-)
