Stitchy Reading Material and Some Stash

I was able to get out of work a little early this afternoon so I made an LNS run. I was very restrained and walked out with just the JCS Ornament Issue, Paradise Lost and a Clover needle threader that the LNS owner swears is the best she's ever used (it's not in the picture, if you're looking for it and can't figure out where it is). Then when I got home the new issue of Piecework was in the mailbox, hooray! Piecework and SANQ are the only stitchy mags I still subscribe to. So I'm looking forward to some stitchy reading and kitting up Paradise Lost. Isn't it pretty? I love the colors. Siobhan is stitching it and hers is soooo pretty!

I like the new format in the JCS ornament issue; I like the way they have the ornaments grouped in "themed" sections. At first glance, I saw a few that I would like to stitch, a few that aren't really to my taste, and a few that will probably grow on me. All in all, it seems like a pretty good issue. I've only done one go-through; I'll have to look through it at least twice more before I start turning down corners to mark the ones that I really like.
