basket case


Free kit that came with issue 184 of Cross Stitcher mag. Just so adorable! But....I'm not too happy with yellow card. Kinda rough around the edges. Could frame the pieces like they show in the mag but, while browsing other blogs, I saw where someone made a needle holder with a cute little bunny on it. This might be just the right size.
Btw, this was the first piece I've done from one of the UK mags. I guess it was over a year ago that I discovered those magazines at the B&N in the mall. There's been something I wanted to stitch in every issue, but I never bought one coz they are a bit costly....$10!! Plus, the itch to stitch wasn't as great as it's been lately.
I did buy a few issues via ebay a couple of months ago. Oh, boy, that was expensive. The issues and p&h were a great deal. It was my darn bank that stuck it to me. Seems they don't post wkend withdrawals until Monday. It would have been fine if they did everything in the order I made the transactions but, no, they started with the last one...the big withdrawal from the atm. That threw everything else into the overdraft...at $30 a pop. Won't make that mistake again.
