A stash happy post

I haven't done too much stitching the last few weeks, in fact I was beginning to think about filing a missing persons report for my mojo, but my inner squirrel has been merrily aquiring stash ready for the winter, and every post seems to bring more exciting goodies.
Exciting postal delivery #1
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a gift certifciate on Missy's blog. The certificate was for Down Sunshine Lane, a shop I'd never used before, but will definitely be using again, they have a great range of stock, and fast and friendly service. Here are some of the goodies I got :-
Live Laugh Love by La D Da. I'm not normally a huge fan of quaker style designs, but this one definitely called to me.
A huge bundle of threads, the ones pulled to the left are for the La D Da.
And a couple of round finishing forms. I Haven't ever tried these before but I figure it's got to be easier/neater than messing around with cardboard circles, and they will come in handy with...

Exciting postal delivery #2
The 2011 JCS Ornament Edition. The only problem is deciding which ones to stitch first. Its nearly October already you know.
And on the subject of stitching for Christmas...
Exciting postal delivery #3
Fa la la la Felt
If anyone heard me squealing out loud with delight recently, this book is entirely the reason why.
Here are just a couple of my favourite projects from it:

    My book club has that fa-La-La felt. I've been thinking of getting it, and I guess I will now that I see you endorse it. Cute designs!

    Oh my! It just shows you how long it has been since I blogged! Gorgeous stash and DSL Amy is great to deal with. Very communicative. Ooooh I like the look of that felt mag/book. Good stuff. x
