Well today my Mary Maxim delivery arrived. MM is another wool and craft store located in Paris Ontario. I have visited there on a couple of occassions. Huge place! It's about 2 hours NW of Mississauga. Now Paris Ontario is nothing like Paris France, as a matter of fact, I think Dolton has more residents LOL Anyway now that I am so far away I will be doing more catalogue ordering that is until Michael's comes to town. They carry a lot of same products and I won't have to pay for shipping!
Not sure how well you can make out what's in the pic. But standing up is the canvas stitch for a doll house. It comes not only with the pattern and the canvas, but the wool too. I don't think it will be big enough for Barbie but perhaps for my Bratz or maybe little Bratz. But once I make this then I can enlarge the pattern for the larger dolls. I have Tiny Kitty in mind. Since no one has created a doll house for her.
Underneath is pattern for doll clothes, specifically for Mrs. Claus! I didn't realize the wool and the clothes line with pegs comes with it. Bonus! The red wool you see draped across the picture is the start of the cape. I just finished my 10th row. Only 32 more rows to go LOL Not sure if I will finish it today or not as it's once again a lovely spring day here and I do want to get out and enjoy the sunshine. Although it is streaming in the patio doors on me as I sit and knit at the kitchen table.
I also bought a leg exercise, like a pedal pusher. I have it underneath me and I can exercise my feet and legs as I sit. Although I have not had leg cramps since I moved here, it is still good exercise to do while you are sitting. And I am a very fidgety person so this helps relax me too. It was also in my order. Everything that I ordered was on sale, so I also got some knee warmers for next winter. That part of my body always gets cold! And the last thing I got was a bobbin holder. It is in a stack and it spins so you can find your bobbin. As I have many. Last year I ordered the thread spool holder. It goes on the wall. So I will install that when I get my sewing room set up. That is if I can find enough wall! I am up to the ceiling almost everywhere now with shelving. If I can't widen or lengthen the room then I have to go up! Right!
Anyway I'm off to enjoy what is left of the day. When you only get up at noon, the afternoon is quite short. Thank goodness the days are longer!
See ya!
