And today I'll show you how my stamping and stitching hobbies converge. If you've ever checked out my other blog, you've most likely seen progress posts on my stitching projects (click here to see). I'm currently working on four very large projects in rotation, so at the beginning of every month I switch to a different project. I've got four floss cases, one for each project, plus two cases of shared colors, but I thought it would be nice to have labels for the individual project cases so I could tell them apart more easily.
I'd had the idea for a long time and finally made them last month, so there they are. I just stamped the first letter of the name of each project and a small image that has something to do with the image I'm stitching. So here's my February project's floss case now:
"Eilonwy" isn't the name of the pattern I bought from Scarlet Quince, it's the name I gave to the fairy in said pattern because "Take the Fair Face of Woman" was far too long and I like the name Eilonwy. I got the name from Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain; Eilonwy is a princess born of a line of enchantresses who talks a lot and is always described as having red-gold hair. The second book in the series was made into a Disney movie, The Black Cauldron, so now I've managed to knit together four of my hobbies in one post. Yay me.
Have a great week, y'all!

What a great idea! I am back after having a long weekend, and yes, it was great to have that much time off. Makes me look forward to RETIREMENT (some day), hopefully. And my weekend was full of a new baby, traveling all over creation and getting a few things done at the house.
