Christmas Stash from hubby

My hubby spoiled me with WONDERFUL stash for Christmas :) My family knows the way to my heart!! They know not to get me anything I will put in a drawer or closet never to be seen again :)



AND, I was so excited about this adorable stitch from BBD's that I have already purchased the wood finial with anticipation of finishing 2 of these. One for myself and one for one of my blog readers :)


Thank you all so much for your interest in the BAP Challenge. It is certainly still open for anyone that would like to join us :) There is NO pressure-the 100.00 gift certificate is just an incentive to keep you motivated. Just think of all the lovely new stash you can purchase if you are the winner :) :) :) If you want to join us-please let me know in the "original post" or via email :)

I have had so many well wishes for my mom and her surgery on Thursday. I have mentioned to several friends that I am running on nervous energy right now. Thank you so much. I promise to update when I know something. I will take my phone with me-but I cannot make any promises as I tried my best to comment on blogs this morning using my phone and it just would not let me. If I can get a post in though on Thursday I will let you all know how things are progressing. THANK YOU my friends! It means the world to me that you care.

Thanks for stopping by :) Please come again!
hugs and love from SC :)

Ooh, great gifts!! I'm the same--the only item made of cloth that I want for gifts are linens on which to stitch and the charts and threads with which to stitch!!

What a GREAT stash! My dh and I don't exchange, but I purchased a vintage DMC Thread Box with part of my Christmas Bonus from my boss. I am going to line the inside of the drawers with pretty paper and store my threads there.

Your DH ROCKS!

The Inspired Stitcher said...

I think you've got a keeper there! What a thoughtful hubby you have. Do you loan him out for lessons to other hubbys? Mine could learn from yours. LOL

Seriously though, I will be sending positive thoughts your way on Thursday. The unknown is always unnerving. I have faith things will work out.

With hugs,
L

Kerri said...

How lucky you are that DH listens to you! These will give you hours of enjoyment and I am sure you will think of the giver everytime you work on one of these.

Obviously you had a very Merry Christmas!

Denise said...

Love the finial idea! A lot of people praying for your Mom,so I'm sure everything will turn out fine. I know its nerve-wracking though. Hang in there.

Lisa said...

Great stash Beccy, how wonderful is your hubby
I got a lot of stash this year too, but I ordered it all for my husband to give me LOL

love the ideas of using the wood finnials
