My wonderful DH was going to be near my new favourite LNS and was able to pick up some of the threads for my Xmas tree. Unfortunately they didn't have anything for my 2012 Sampler, and only 2 each of Ivy and Autumn Leaves by WDW. He was able to order WDW Bethlehem, but the clerk told him the horrifying news that this store would not be stocking WDW anymore!! NO!!! I finally found this place after searching the WDW website for a nearby place that carried their threads, and now they're not stocking them anymore.. argh!

I've emailed the owners a couple times to ask about this since DH told me, and they told me I'm welcome to order the threads, but they won't stock them since they're not a "huge seller". Thing is, you can only order the colours in sets of 5! Well, how many projects need 5 skeins of thread? Some of the Cross Stitch Forum members have some really cool mono patterns, but I loved being able to go to the store and fondle all the threads and see how the colours went together.

I'm searching for another LNS nearby that might carry them, but maybe I can make plans for a road trip if there's nothing around. There's one that's over an hour away, but it does sound like a dream LNS with all kinds of different threads and focusing on just needlework. The other LNS was more a "craft" store. It's in the tourist trap town nearby though... hopefully she doesn't charge the earth! 

Enough whining though, onto this weekend's progress! 

I really love this design by skitzzzz from the CSF. It's so nice and whimsical, definitely fun to stitch after a long work day. There have been a lot of those lately, including today. That may be obvious by the start of this post though. 

I'd like to concentrate on this one for a while until I have a finish. I just have this horrible feeling I'm going to run out of WDW Ivy!
