Since I am the Queen of the After Season Sales, I have these cute Halloween sill sitters purchased last November. I pick up these things after the holidays (75% off!) and store them for the next season. Yes, I know, I do have more storage than the average person. I just cannot resist a bargain, …

How many of you have stitchery kits for Christmas laying around? Every year, if you are like me, you find them close to the season and realize, there is no way to finish them in time for that year, so you pack them away again. This is true for the cross stitch and needlework magazines …
