Still Searching...

I just received this pincushion/scissor case set in the mail.  I won it from an eBay auction.  If you recall I recently spotted a lovely pincushion that has a peacock on it.  The lady who stitched it gave me all the information to try and locate another one, but so far I have been very unsuccesssful in my searches.  It is a DMC kit that is a series based on an Oriental art collection from the V&A Museum in London.  I have a feeling that it is out of print, so I have been doing a little auction watching hoping one might show up.  I did come across this one in the interim.  No one else bidded on it, so I was able to buy it at a very reasonable price.  I thought this design was also very striking.  It comes with the chart, floss and fabric.  As the fabric is Aida, I will substitute with some linen from my stash.  Of course I can't even think of starting it anytime soon.  November is going to be very full of gift/exchange stitching for me.  As a matter of fact I am already starting to stress about meeting all my deadlines.  I think I am going to have to make up a bit of a schedule even.  If I can just make it to December I can relax and get back to my own stitching!!
