I forgot to mention the minor stash binge I had a couple of weeks ago at Hancock Fabrics. Like many of their stores, our local Hancock Fabrics (which just opened a year or so ago) is closing and so had everything on clearance. I was a bit late to the party, so to speak, so the store was already pretty stripped down, but I did manage to pick up a few things. These included a bunch of pretty buttons to use for biscornu and pillow decorations, one of every DMC rayon floss they had left (which added up to a couple of dozen), two each of ecru DMC pearl cottons in #8 and #12 (which I can always use for hardanger work) and a couple of fat quarters of miscellaneous fabrics for finishing. I also threw in a couple of other things like a silicone pad for my iron to rest on while it’s cooling and some materials for creating fabric buttons.<\/p>\n
No pics, sorry. I put this stuff away a while ago. Not sure what I’ll do with the rayon floss, but everything was at least 50% off (the cashier didn’t give me the correct percentages on everything, but it wasn’t enough money to argue about), so I went crazy.<\/p>\n
Also that day, Terry needed to stop at ACMoore (not for me, for once!) for some balsa wood to mock up a model of the gazebo that we want to build in our back woods and he kindly indulged me in a quilling kit. Woohoo! I had to play with it right away, but I haven’t glued anything down onto a card or any other real format yet, so nothing to show there, either. But hey, I finally indulged in the kit – and it didn’t cost me a thing! \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
Finally, I stopped at Strawberry Sampler (my local LNS) for a couple of materials this past weekend and ended up buying 5 pieces of fabric, a couple of skeins of DMC and a chart. The chart would have been a breach of my 10 Project Challenge (and I’m only one project away from allowing myself a little splurge), except that when I arrived home I figured out that I had already bought the chart last year at CATS in Hershey. DOH!<\/p>\n

It cost me $8 and has barely even been handled (it’s still in the LNS bag), so I’m looking for the price I paid, if possible. I will accept PayPal or suitable trade. Please! Leave a comment or email me (jenna at magees dot net) if you are interested. It’s really cute! So much so that I was apparently really<\/strong> drawn to it! \ud83d\ude09<\/del><\/p>\n
