New Orleans - Haul and Cross Stitch stash :)

My sister and I stopped by Accents Inc. in Metairie on Thursday before driving into New Orleans. I was looking for fabric and specialty threads.

I bought my first piece of opalescence overdyed evenweave for a project along with a Ghost chart by JBW Designs, a Mill Hill kit, four bobbins of Kreinik threads and ribbon, and a skein of DMC memory thread.

I bought the fabric and threads for Brooke's Books Snow White from her Fairy Tale Princess Dress Up Collection.

I had ordered her Dress Up Collection from her Etsy shop earlier in July. She had a deal where you could sign up for the twelve monthly princess designs at 50% off, which I figured was a great deal because I already liked five of the designs she had put out so far and at the discount rate, you were basically getting six charts for free.

I ordered those and accessory packs which were also 50% off. The packs came with the beads and/or perforated paper needed to make the crowns, etc. in the design.

I hope to start the Snow White design in August. Beside the Cinderella design, Snow White was my second favorite of the collection. I love how the skirt is decorated. Reminds me of children's illustrations of the fairy tale.

Until next time >___<
