This certainly isn't everything, but it's a lot of it...

This is where I sit and work. I like a lot of light behind me, so I usually stitch with the ceiling light on and the three-bulb lamp all on.

It's a little cluttered right now, but here's my work surface. My MIL gave me the sewing machine after she got a newer one. I have no clue how to use it yet, but there's a book...

Various hoops and Q-snaps (and Q-snap knockoffs that don't work well at all).

A couple of latch-hook kits and a silly sequin art Lisa Frank kit. Hey, it had a panda in it...

My laundry basket that's become a place for WIPs (works in progress).

Some aida cloth and candle molds.

These are the sundries, for general crafting.

Soaping stuff. Molds, color, scent, and there are some glycerin bars underneath all of that.

Binders with cross stitch and plastic canvas club patterns. No, I'm not taking them all out and taking individual pictures. There's too freain' many!

Hardback books. (And my VB text for some reason...). See below for details.

Various things, including hot glue gun, velcro, super 77, cross stitch coasters and the remnants of my disastrous attempt at punch embroidery...

Mmmm, this looks like mostly beads of various sorts, my little bit of friendly plastic, a couple of mugs for stitching inserts, and computer hardware.

More beads.

I think this is mostly aida and some fingertip towels. That hideous rust-colored stuff in the center left doesn't look bad on film, but IRL it's really ugly...

Box o' kits.

Lavender & Lace patterns, and also freebie Dragon Dreams patterns that have been printed. See below for details.

Magazines and leaflets, both cross stitch and plastic canvas. See below for details.

More magazines and leaflets... See below for details.

Still more magazines! See below for details.

Box o' plastic canvas. This sucker's heavy, too!

Um, hmm. Mostly baskets and stuff from the wedding. I don't know WHAT I'll ever do with it...

Some ribbon, old cross stitch bobbins with DMC, sewing box, box o' stamps, box o' pony beads, mortar & pestle.

One of these bags has floral stuff in it, another has a light box. There's a bag with a bow maker, and white-picket-fence carton, the box of blocks for my son and some other sundries.

More assorted things...

A plastic canvas project I really need to finish, and 2 ponchos my MIL gave me to do something with...

Yarn

More yarn

And now for the details...

Hardbacks. 1-3 are generic crafts (sewing, cross stitch, needlepoint, cooking, etc). 4-5 are florals, 6 is soaps, 7 is cross stitch, 8 is candles.

Hardbacks, all plastic canvas.

More hardbacks, more plastic canvas... There's one that was in use elsewhere at the time the pictures were taken, so there's one book that wasn't photographed.

Magazines. These are the one-off crafts. 2 soaps, 1 friendly plastic (which was great fun, btw), beaded critters, 1 needlearts and 4 needlepoint.

Cross stitch magazines. 1=Cross Stitch Christmas, 2=Keepsake Cross Stitch, 3=Cross Stitch Collectibles, 4=Crazy for Cross Stitch, 5=For the Love of Cross Stitch, 6=Cross Stitch, 7=Cross Stitch Collection. 6 and 7 are UK publications, and were probably bought at Barnes & Nobles. The rest were either bought as out-of-date discount magazines or yard sales.

Teresa Wentzler leaflets. Not pictured is the birth annoucement, a current WIP.

Lavender & Lace. Since the names are on the backs of these, they are (from top to bottom, left to right): Angel of Winter, Ice Angel, Earth Angel, The Second Angel of Freedom, Peace Angel, Angel of Christmas, Guardian Angel, Angelica, Heavenly Gifts, Angel of Light, Angel of Mercy, Angel of Spring, Angel of Autumn, The Wedding, Angel of Summer, Angel of Hope, Angel of Grace, Angle of Love, Blue Moon Angel.

Whee! Now the rest of the leaflets!
The dye-namic florals is my most recent purchase, and only for the instructions on dyeing canvas. I've done a zodiac mug for my dad many years ago. I started one of the Santas as a pin on perforated paper, but never finished (sigh, the story of my life...)

It may be hard to see, but #4 is the USCoast Guard emblem. My parents were both USCGR officers. The lighthouses I've done for my dad and can be found here. The Graduate is for me, when I get one of those round things...

Jacksonville is where I live near. 1 & 2 I bought at a local store manymanymany years ago (back when I was at community college and had disposable income. Go figure...). #2 is the city's "treaty oak" (which isn't). I bought it to use with a norse poem about Odin hanging from the Tree of Life. I'd still like to do that. Eventually. #3 you can't see, but it's a sampler with a FSU theme (both of my parents have degrees from there). Garfield pieces can be found here, here and here. I did the diet tips for my sister a ways back, but it's currently in storage, so no picture.
The Last Supper I bought to do for my sister, but now that I've seen the Golden Kite one, I might just have to trade it.

Can you tell I like pandas? :) I've been collecting pandas since I was little. No, I haven't actually done any of these yet... #5 is actually duplicate stitch (meant to be done on knits, and is 'V' shaped). The penguins is an in-joke I want to do for a friend (...eventually...).

More animals. And a lighthouse leaflet I had misplaced. And the ever-popular Monopoly. I'm glad I bought that when I did. The dinosaurs I got as a part of a lot from someone once, and now that I have a child, I'm sure I'll put them on my to-do-eventually list.

I live near Jacksonville, FL, so I have some jaguar patterns. I love music, and puns, and that bear series is really cute. I've done the Moona Lisa and Whistler's Moother for people before.

Some more bears. The All Through the House one was part of an estate lot or given to me by a former co-worker and I really don't care for it. My BIL likes horses, so I'd like to do one of those for him. #6 is a SF convention buy: It's a crest from one of Mercedes Lackey's books. I've done the wizard on the cover of #8.

#1 I bought because it's got a chart of "The Mad Bluebird." Just too funny. Nothing special about the rest...

More fantasy et. al.

And lastly for the cross-stitch, alphabets.#1 is reallyreally thin (all-occasion my butt), #s 2 and 4 are pretty standard, #s 3 an 7 have some really outrageous ones, #s 5 and 6 are small but neat, and #8 I really haven't looked at much, so I don't remember...

On to the Plastic Canvas leaflets!

Okay, let's start with those tissue boxes... #1 has a panda (go fig), #2 was neat, #3 is Looney Tunes! #4 is simply AMAZING, and are not your grandmother's tissue box covers. They're very intricate and probably a pain to construct. #5 I really liked the telephone one, #6 is probably also a little more difficult to construct. #7 I liked the oriental pattern, #8 is great for kids, and #9 I liked the fire truck.

Another typical pc project: eyeglass cases. #1 is typical, #s 2 and 3 are a little nicer. I actually started #4, but did it in a grey I didn't care for, and eventually just pitched the project. #5 has a fish tank that I think would be cute. #8 I got from someone else, and I don't know if I care for them. It's pretty simple, and I guess if I had a little girl I'd do it as cheap toys. #9 is on 10-count and I'd love to do them someday.

Mmmm. Bookmarks and magnets and small boxes.

Baskets and tote bags. I really like the Southwest and Victorian bags. #9's progress has stalled after manymany years, but can be seen here.

The book covers and matching bookmarks are nice, the fans are really pretty, I love the wall clock phone. #6 is perforated paper. #9 I bought almost specifically for the globe.

Coasters, baby stuff, butterflies. I have done a couple of the mug mats, I bought the Wine & Dine coasters because they were just unique and neat, the Flower Coasters are pretty.
The Baby set I don't think I'll do, the Little Chef foods I'd love to do when my son is 3ish. I may still do the Nursery Rhyme pieces. The growth charts I bought for future use, but then I ended up buying one when my friend's gift store went out of business.

The Sea Shell Jewelry was the first PC leaflet I ever purchased. The Decorative Screen is reallyreally pretty. Instead of pc or worsted yarn, it uses #3 pearl cotton. The safari set isn't something *I'd* wear, although I do like the purse. The can covers I bought because there's a panda (look at the top of this webpage at picture #2). The vases are really nice, and I might even do them one day. The International Dolls also look like they might be a very complicated construction. I might do a purse or two (I have a form around here), and remember when we all had those belt bags in the 80s? That's when I bought it :)

The doorstop leaflet I bought (there's a nice southwest one with a cactus), the Santa one I bought (it has a fox - my DH's favorite animal), the Fiesta I bought for the cute burro, and the carousel I bought because it's really neat (the ribbon winds and it twirls around the dowel). The rest were given. The Halloween ones are cute, but I really don't care much for the train.

Hmmm. Bought #s 2-4, 6-9. The 'Lace' is done with stitching and beads, some of the cats look like my sister's cat, my mom loves frogs.

And some piddlies. The PC Stitch Dictionary is the BOMB. It's a GREAT resource.

And now for the kits...

3 of the Wildlife Series. The Tiger is around here somewhere, having been started. I may, however, stop and restart. The aida included is just too SMALL!
The drummer boy I picked up in Williamsburg, VA on our honeymoon.
The panda is really needlepoint, but hey it's a panda.

More kits. TWs Ark (which I didn't realize I had the leaflet AND it's in one of the magazines!). Rapunzel and a unicorn that I thought were TWs (and aren't, but I still like them). Our favorite Wysocki, Frederick the Literate (to be done for mom) , more pandas. The last one is 'embelished cross stitch' (i.e., printed and you just fill in some blanks). It was given to me. I'll probably never do it. I don't like the look of half-print-half-stitch.

WHEW! That's most (a few things missing, but hey...)
