Total: $54 to carryover into September

This is my second SFS post and if I can improve it in any way, please let me know! I'm really happy to be so far into the black. I think if I can keep it this way I'll be in for a nice splurge at the end of the year. 

I purchased these at The Wooden Needle in Stowe, Vermont:




And I purchased the companion piece to The Princess and the Dragon:

The Triumphant Ride:

I'd like to stitch it on a new colour Chromatic Alchemy came out with, Vincent. It's so new it's not on her website yet, but I think I need it for this one! The owners of both stores were nice enough to show me an overlay:

Isn't that awesome?? I love it and can't wait to get there. But Princess and the Dragon will be first on Chromatic Alchemy's Amarinthine. I don't have an overlay of that, but I do have Triumphant Ride on Amarinthine, just to give you the effect of the two together. 




Try and picture the bottom silhouette on the upper fabric colour. 

I love the moodiness of the Amarinthine and the uplifting colours in Vincent for the different charts. 

I hope everyone had a good month and Happy Stitching!

    1. Thank you. I can't tell you what it was, it was a gift and I don't remember the colour or where it was from.
