Thursday I was finally able to go! So the next few Stashy Saturday pics will be of my 'loot' :D
For the first time ever, there were no cross-stitch kits that I wanted. SHOCKING! lol!!!
I did buy some floss and almost kitted up Tournee du Chat Noir - I got every color but some of the ones that needed five or six skeins didn't get fully kitted as there wasn't enough available. I also got all but one of the colors I still needed for Amanda and Axel.
And this - for which I fully blame JoJo! She does such gorgeous stuff, and when I wandered past the art aisles, these were on the end. One was on sale and one wasn't - I'm not sure what made the difference.
This is the first one I'm going to do:
I thought this one would be good practice before getting into the others - they are 10x14 and very detailed! This is one of the least detailed ones XD I did a tiny bit but not much, because it's IHSW weekend! Lovers is getting some confetti filled in but it's slow going - I'll have a picture on Monday :D
Is that colouring for grown-ups? Looks like fun! Don't forget your stitching though...
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Any time I can influence people to do any kind of artwork, I happily take the blame. lol I LOVE that design you are going to colour first! I also am salivating over those coloured pencils. I have prismacolour and while they are great and vibrant, they have a real problem with being broken up inside the pencil. So when you go to sharpen them, the coloured 'lead' comes out. For the price you'd think they'd be a little sturdier. We don't have Hobby Lobby here but I'll have to check AC Moore to see if they have a nice set like the one you got!
ReplyDeleteLove your new stash Tama. I wish Joann's had those coloring books.

I think you can order them on the Hobby Lobby website. They are $6 but the summer one is on sale for $3.50 right now.
DeleteHow beautiful =) I am very much looking forward to seeing you color this =) I went to a craft fair yesterday and they also had a shop selling these, there was a huge one on a table so one could go and color it a bit, that was amazing ;-) I hab a few mandalas lying in my cupboard somewhere and they are very relaxing, I thing this will be quite relaxing, too =)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are about to have some coloring fun! Look forward to seeing your picture all colored in.
ReplyDeleteWow they look great. Have fun colouring them in, I love this past time too! Let your imagination run wild. xo Alicia
