I am getting ready for doing some FFOing on some of the many, many, many Christmas ornies I have stitched but not fully finished over the past few years. So, after a quick trip down to Darn Cheap Fabrics in Heidelberg, I am ready to go!
Here are all of the goodies: pellon, pins, glue sticks and trims.
White pom pom trim, red and green ricrac and some more of the lovely pearl beaded ribbon that I have used successfully before.
... and, of course, I had to buy some more red pompom trim.
Then I found this gorgeous green trim with varying sizes of green beads on it - this could work on some projects, I thought.
I bought five wheels of pins for finishing as well, although I do wish that there were more green and gold ones in a multi-coloured wheel.
Lastly I found this white, pleated with tiny seed pearls trim - not sure how I will use it yet but I think it will work on something.
After all that trim shopping, I rewarded myself with a chicken caesar salad and a poppy and onion bagel - yum - for lunch.
hugs,
P.S. Yesterday I had bit of a marathon stitching day for Friday Frolics, click here to check out what WIP I picked to stitch on.

What a great day of shopping Kaye. I love all the trims you purchased. I especially love the ones that have the added beads. I can't wait to see how you use them. Looks like a great lunch too...I'm a big bagel fan and that one looks really good. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
Yes, you have to think early on Christmas, I should also grow so nice tapes, at the moment I have hardly anything myself.
Especially the white with the pearls I like very much.
Greetings, Martina
Love all your trims Kaye. I so wish I could do finishing.

Your trim shopping spree shows great results. I'm so so curious to see how your use all the new trims on your Dorneis.
Kaye, I saw the new post in the Friday Frolics blog but I can't comment there as the comment section is embedded.I can only comment in this pop-up windows. Sorry.

Oooh, look at all those finishing goodies! That should keep you busy for a while.
Your lunch looks delicious!
Lots of lovely trims! I can't wait to see how you use them for your FFO-ing x
What lovely trims, looking forward to seeing the finally finished objects!
Buying finishing materials is almost a hobby in itself!
