Last Box, I Think

I believe this is the last of my Black Needle Society boxes. As you can see, this one had a bunch of extras and little stitchy goodness.

Black Needle Society 1980's Pack

This was a lot of useless to me stuff from Black Needle Society. I managed to give some of it away, but it just reinforced my decision to leave Black Needle Society.

Yarn for Babies

The embassy is having a baby boom. I will be using these four skeins of local yarn to make two of the baby afghans. The solo blue skein is a bonus freebie.

Another Chaparral Delay

Ordered this in November. It was -finally- shipped in late January, despite being in stock the whole time. I don't know what happened, but disappointed with Chaparral, since they did this to -two- of my orders.

Needlepointer Subscription Box

The Black Needle Society boxes were too full of liberal politics and had too few stitching items, so I've switched to the Needlepointer box. It comes quarterly and includes a full needlepoint kit and other things. I am much happier with this.

Rangers Canvas

This was ordered along with the other canvas from Chaparral Needlepoint in November. It finally got here a couple of weeks ago after my wonderful husband bugged them repeatedly. We will not be shopping there again, despite them having a lot of great Texana. Can't trust them to ship.

Project Bags

These are the project bags Chaparral sent me after months of neglect on mailing my order. I'm not sure they're the correct compensation. Anyway, we've agreed not to order from them again.

Bluebonnet Ornament Kit

Well, this arrived a few months late because Chaparral didn't send it out. They gave me a project bag, but if Andreas hadn't followed up four times, it never would have come.

From the Nimble Thimble

Andreas and I took a trip out to the middle of no where when we were in Wales. And that is exactly where the Nimble Thimble was. So I bought a bunch pf Drawn Thread kits she had made with silk.

Lots of Luca-S

Luca-S had a sale a little while ago. I ordered these kits; they arrived quickly. I am always happy to support such a wonderful Moldovan company.

Jodyri Floss

Michelle is going to stop Jodyri at the end of the year, so I'm lucky to have so much of her floss.

Flossed

DMC had a sale. I had missing colors. This is the result.

Chicken Kit

I ordered this kit from a Polish embroidery store. I didn't realize how -big- the stitches were at the time. It's a doorstop, and I know someone who likes both embroidery and chickens, so it's been gifted on.

Black Needle Society September

Lots of non-stitchy stuff and pattern I just don't like. I will be cancelling this subscription soon.

Baker's Twine for Finishing

The only thing I could find to buy at this chain craft store in a bad neighborhood in Manchester was baker's twine. So very lame.

Random Stretcher Bars

More random stretcher bars arrive in the mail. I swear I didn't order them, but maybe I'll be able to use these for my Texas counties?

Bought from a store in Australia. Now needing time to get things done.
