Fabrics!

I might be in a different state right now, but I'm a dedicated blogger! I present today's post!

I finished up Frosted Pumpkin's Halloween Town part II:


I purchased Frosted Pumpkin's Spooky Sampler awhile back and during the Picture This Plus sale on Friday I picked up a few options for it, Crystal Haunted & Crystal Echo, I also purchased Heather and Mirage (all 1/4 yards). I'm thinking one of the crystals will be good for it. I haven't done any patterns on sparkly fabric yet!


My July FOTM from Steph's Fabby's came over the weekend as well:


I've got several different colors from her now. I'm going to have to start finding projects for them. I'm turning into a fabric hoarder! I've been getting the 13x18 size (I think that's the one? it's the smallest one offered) but I think maybe I should jump up a size. That way I wouldn't have to worry about it being too small for any random project. I don't know. :)

I really really wanted to pick up my Chat on Thursday night, but I got home and promptly fell asleep! I feel like an old lady, not 27 years young. It's okay though, because I did get a tiny amount done over the weekend. Here's a before picture:


I think that's going to be it for now! If you follow me on instagram (@brendaxstitchhaven) you'll see a sneak peek of next week's blog post and see what I've been working on at the airport!

Do you bring projects when you are traveling?

Also, this was scheduled for Wednesday and it uploaded to Tumblr just fine (how did that happen?!), but it's not appearing on the blog, BUT I got a comment on it... Anyone else having weird issues with blogger?

  1. Hehe, I feel like I read..."free fabric here" haha. I'm always on the lookout for some interesting fabric at a cheap price for cross stitching. I don't bring my projects with me when I travel but that's because I'm out for fun and not going to be inside much. I don't travel much though.

    1. I wish there was free fabric everywhere!!! :) I travel a fair amount and I hate being bored so I always have something with me for the down time in the airports. :D

  4. Lovely work on TFPS Halloween Town. I'm trying to save parts 2,3 and 4 for the DUCJC but I don't know if I'll be able to help myself ;)
