Our church had a rummage sale Friday afternoon and yesterday. I didn't get to look at much stuff, as dh and I were in charge of sorting the books, and we had a HUGE amount. (105 cases altogether, when sorted).
However, just before we opened I was walking past the "boutique" table, and saw a lap frame. I have been thinking of buying one, but wasn't sure what kind to get.
This one was marked $5. I snatched it up immediately. It also had some Aida on it, partly stitched, and a pattern. When I got it home, the pattern was an M L-I chart "Tea Garden", from 1989. No floss, of course. The frame itself is 16" inside width, and when I turned it over the name is K's Creations. Mind you, the ones I have seen online the last two days have a piece which this one doesn't, something which appears to be attached to the front of the base, does anyone know what it is? It doesn't appear to be crucial.
Anyway, as I do NOT do cross stitch, I shall take the chart to our next guild meeting and see if anyone wants it, and in the meantime I will try to find the time - or the energy - to sew my current jacobean style project onto it. Having pretty much got out of bed to help with the rummage sale, and been working on adrenalin all week (I had intended to go over there for a couple of hours Mon, Wed and Fri, but the amount of books we got demanded many more hours)I may spend this coming week back in bed.
Oh well, as I tell dh, I have to push the envelope a little, and how do I know how much I can do before I find I have overdone things?
Howja like that. A beautiful frame, which some ignorant fool had marked for $5. Good job I saw it first.
