In December, I did do some shopping for myself at Herrschener's on-line. See pic below. I love the Mill Hill beaded ornaments. They are perfect for a lighted tree as the light sparkles off of the beads and it makes for a lovely display.
The pins below I ordered from somewhere but can't recall where. They were on sale for about $8.00 dollars, they retail for about $13.00.

I have saved hundreds of dollars on this challenge and hope to do the same next year, but more importantly for me, I have started all my projects from stuff in my stash.I want to thank Mel at Epic Stitching for hosting this. She has worked very hard on this and deserves a big congratulations and hug for all of her efforts. Count me in for next year Mel!
Wishing all a Merry Christmas and Prosperous and Healthy New Year!

ReplyDeleteLove mill hill!
Thank you Deb.
DeleteLike your blog! think i will follow along with you on stitching from stash! I need to do it desperately. love the added stash to your collection....i have never done a mill hill kit but must say i admire those that have them and have done them . happy new year and nice to meet you ! hugs, and happy stitching, Queeny
ReplyDeleteThank you, Queeny. The trick to the Mill Hill kits is finding a way to manage the beads and then to understand that its slow painstaking work. Read all of the instructions in the kit because you don't bead with the same number of threads as you do to cross stitch. Do it! You will love the effect.
DeleteI LOVE those Mill Hill Stockings! I think I will have to get those and actually keep them for my tree!
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to do so. I love taking the ornies out every year and admiring my own handiwork, lol.
DeleteCongrets of your saving on SFS
