Big sister flower frog, that is. Yep, she just arrived at my doorstep this morning and she was impeccably<\/strong><\/em> packaged. I have never received something that was this well packaged. Getting everything unwrapped was like breaking into Fort Knox! <\/p>\n

I’m not sure what I was thinking, but it was bigger than I had expected. She dwarfs her little sister. So, without further ado, I present big sister:
\n<\/p>\n

And, for a comparison, here are the two sisters together:
\n<\/p>\n

Big sis is fully loaded with nearly every pair of scissors that I own. I say nearly because I can think of at least 3 pairs off the top of my head that are in project bags or on my stitching table. They’re plastic-handled ones, so not fancy enough to warrant being showcased or even photographed, really.<\/p>\n

Also, here’s my latest stash order, which arrived earlier this week, from Where Victoria’s Angels Stitch<\/a>. Whoops, nevermind. I was cleaning off my camera and apparently nuked them before I uploaded them anywhere. Duh. Anyway, it wasn’t a terribly exciting order. Mostly fabric (white Jobelan, which was on backorder forever; taupe evenweave (I don’t remember if I got Lugana, Jobelan or what); and a small cut of a hand-dyed fabric for one of the Just Nan Over the Top kits), a few Mill Hill beads and a couple of DMCs. Yes, I know I can get DMC from Michael’s, JoAnn or ACMoore for less, but they always seem to be out of at least one color I need.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Tawny (the owner of WVAS) is a blast to work with and the pictures of her shop look like it’s an amazing place. I would love to visit there some time. Oh, and I think I read somewhere that her framer actually does the framing for DMC. How cool is that?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
