Let's face it, thrifts are amazing. Not only are they a wealth of fun and unusual items, they can carry a lot of cool craft items. As a cross sticher, I am always on the look out for other peoples work litter in these places, and this trip I found a few cool things.
This was in one of the second to last thrift stores I went into last sunday. It was the only cross stich I fould this trip, and I jsut love how simple it is. It was really nice to see something rather old, ( I can't remember what the date on it was, but the fact that isn't adia cloth and was 75$, but I am gonna go with old.)

This was at the last thrift store we were in, and it was just sitting on the floor. It too was 75 dollars, and someone had to have folded this thing. Is it not neat?


So I guess I should get to what I really found to do from my three hour trip through thrift store madness? Well, I got out really light this time around, only 3$ in the hole, with a mug, a frame (A furture blog post) and 60 cent cross stich kit. It was from Denmark and was a little bit of a pain to read, but I got throught it. I put the two together and the rest is this blog post. This craft wasn't bad at all, as far as kits go. Very easy and run of the mill kit. The one thing I would love to point it out was the fact that the card folded out three ways, and the middle was the window was the best. I have made cross stich cards before and the half fold cards are annoying because you have to cut a piece of card stock or card board to cover the back of your stiches. This design, you didn't have to, just had to glue down the left side and let it dry. Well, not a bad craft for 60 cent. See you next time and happy crafting!

Kasey!
P.s. Here is some more close ups are the cards. They can out really neat, even though I messed up reading the pattern.
