I failed at my “no buy” commitment but not a horrible fail . . just a little fail.
As you might imagine, it’s someone else’s fault. Jo! It’s kinda weird how I have really good people for my friends but they all get me in so much trouble! Maybe it’s me .. and not them. Nope, I doubt that!
Anyway, Jo sent me the link to Waxing Moon’s Etsy shop so I could share the link to the chart we’ll be using for the Stitch Along. Since I usually don’t look so much at cutesy type charts, I have just a few Waxing Moon charts. I started looking at her other designs and I need something to stitch for Addie for St. Patrick’s Day so this one jumped into my cart. Here’s the link for the electronic chart. Maybe it’s needing a St. Patrick’s stitch for Addie or maybe it’s the lime green background but I had to get this one.
She has a whole series, Winter, Easter, Valentine’s, Summer, Autumn, Christmas, Halloween . . a bunch of them. There are other trio type sets that would be great for a dough bowl.
Most of these little trios are $9 so the price is amazing. They should be quick to stitch. I will need to do them lower count fabric just to make them large enough so they should be super quick.
I’m going to stitch the bottom left one for Addie for St. Patrick’s Day. I’d like to think I can stitch that one for me, as well as the pink one but . . . I think we all know that isn’t going to happen.
Maybe a few more charts jumped into my cart – not nearly as many as I would have liked. I’ll use fabric and floss I already have so . . could have been worse but now I’ll hop back up on the wagon and try again.

You should really check Pinterest for free cross stitch patterns. They are many available for all the different holidays. I made 25 pin keeps (for the different holidays) before Christmas for my daughter to go along with a dough bowl I gifted to her. Very few were made from a purchased pattern as I took advantage of the freebies on Pinterest. This might be a way for you to continue your “no buy” resolution.

Ok do this Judy, you fell off the wagon, just start again, and make it January the 19/20th when you have your year done–if you fall off again–just start over with your year–who said it had to be from Jan 1, to Dec 31st. Just a year.
