Chrissy wanted to have some time alone at her house tonight to organize beads, so I decided to stock up on projects for the Happy Chair. I watched Candice Olson of "Divine Design" take a big basket and put stuff in it for a room design, so I took a clue and put together a big basket for a weekend of stitching.The blob of stuff in the lower middle of the pic is a pile of counting pins that I made last night. Really pretty, actually, and methinks I might make some more for the Midwest Stash Exchange.
The Midwest Stash Exchange is August 16th at House of Stitches. For $10 you can rent a table and sell, swap, or give away your stitching stash. It's like having your own little stitch shop for the day! Chrissy and I help the ladies at HOS organize it, and you'll find us at the admission table. If you just want to come shop, the admission "fee" is $5. All of the table rental fees and admissions are then donated to the American Heart Association. I'll write more about it later, but if you're in the general vicinity of LaPorte, Indiana in August, come on over and say hello!
I'm off to the Happy Chair loaded with a cold diet Coke and a basket of goodies to play with! Have a simply fabulous weekend!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the swap meet - I think I've got something else on that weekend, but I think it would be a blast to attend! Who needs an excuse to go to HOS, right?
ReplyDeletePretty pins!
ReplyDeleteWish I could stop by the H of S but I think it's a bit out of my way!
You have been nominated for the Kreativ Blogger award. Please visit my blog.
ReplyDeleteI came to your blog from Carol r and I am so glad to have found you :)) Love the stash especially the La d Da Daisy heart, I think I shall have to order one of those charts :)
ReplyDeleteHi Coni: I'm swamped ... really!! I'll get a post up re. the Stash Exchange soon.
ReplyDeleteI need some peace and quiet : )
Hi Coni, I just found your blog. I love that you call your stitching place the Happy Chair. :) I like your sense of humor. I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a marvelous weekend! I love that La-D-Da daisy pattern!
ReplyDeleteThe Stash Exchange sounds like fun. I'll be sure to mark the date on my calendar.
Hi Coni,
ReplyDeleteI just love Candice from Divine Design!
And yes, I have my stash next to my stitching are. I'm going to start calling my stitching area the Happy Corner or maybe the Happy Table as I move between chairs at the dining room table which is not often used for dining. :-)
Okay, how are you making the couting pins? Are those earing stoppers on the bottom? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

I wish we had something like that here. I have a ton of old stash I'd love to be abel to swap/sell.
ReplyDeleteHi Coni
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog. LaPorte is a drive from here but I would enjoy going to HOS as I have heard so much about it. If I do make it there I will definitely make a point to say hi to you.
Hello Coni: I did post re. Stash Exchange at House of Stitches. I know how great it was last Summer & look forward to spending the day in LaPorte : )
ReplyDeleteNow, I really should pull out the La-D-Da workshop piece & post!! I love the tote and needle case, etc. The committee spoiled us!!
Just found your blog via Lelia. I wish I could come to the swp meet, but the closest I will be to Indiana in August is Denver -- and that's not very close. We will fly right over your house in December on our way to Lexington, Kentucky, but I don't expect that they will let me drop a note out of the plane to say hello. Keep up the funny.
ReplyDeleteI keep a nice wicker basket full of WIPs by my stitching char too!
