Hobby Lobby Clearance Sale Stash

Hobby Lobby has apparently been having a clearance sale for a while but my local (relatively speaking) store never had any cross stitch clearance items.

Until yesterday!  I finally got me some :D






I freely admit the last two are my favorites!

I have a pretty strict starting plan for this year, so none of these are up too soon - but I may have to rearrange things for that owl.  We'll see.

Talk to ya later!

Better Late Than Never! YoW Update for April

Sorry this is a little late - it took a ridiculously long time to update my album in the Facebook group!

Okay, so - no pics of projects that I didn't work on, but here's what I did get done:

Three Kings - before:


Finished!


 January - before:



Finished!


Lucky Fish - before:


One fish done, the words done, and started both the other two.



Sunset Birds - before:



I'm further into it, although not done with the section yet.


Lovers - before:



Added 1000+ stitches



Rose Bouquet - before:



This has taken over the 'purse kit' spot and now looks like this:



Acquainted with the Night - before:



Got more endless blues and greys done:


I also have a tiny bit of snow to do and Frosty Forest #2, Raccoon Cottage, will be done but... I LOST it.  How do you lose a project that big?!  Actually, I think I may have properly put it away and that's why I can't find it now.  Sheesh.  I'll find it and finish it up - really, like one needle-full of floss! and it'll be done! and then I'll post it.

Some others got a few stitches done, but that's really about it.  Not a hugely productive time but I finished two so I'm satisfied.

Also, I did have a birthday in March and that meant a free birthday start (I'm sticking with 'finish two to start one' and have three 'earned' starts that I haven't used yet).  I got this Riolis kit earlier this year:


And I did this very small start, and haven't worked on it since:


Riolis kits usually have a wool/acrylic super-fine yarn instead of floss.  I've always hesitated about getting one because I'm allergic to wool, but I, hmm, possibly may have gotten some white cotton glove liners, which are like super, super thin, flimsy gloves, and stitch with those on.  Probably, I look like a twit, but I can stitch the pretty Riolis things, so I don't care.

Later, my dearies - I'll post some more finishes soon! (things I finished when I wasn't posting!)
