Description

The listing, Cross stitch mystery auction has ended.

ok so after 3 months of trying to do a cross stitch project for a good friend of mine, I realized that I just do not have time to do counted cross stitch any more! So now I need to do something with the extra large box of cross stitch kits and supplies that I have here at home. After all no point in them sitting around my apartment taking up space and collecting dust! So I will start filling a medium flatrate box with these supplies. Here is how it is going to go : For every positive comment I will add another item. until a medium flat rate box is filled, I have cross stitch fabric, cross stitch kits complete and patterns, If the bids go really high I may include some embrodery thread I have a gallon bag almost full with them! And if this auction goes really well I will do another! Shipping is free in the USA! outside of Usa you will have to pay shipping via paypal! The reason for my limited time for cross stitch is in the picture! Please send your shipping info as soon as auction ends!
Happy Bidding!

Remeber once it hits 2000 credits this will be come a large flat rate box and if it gets to 5000 two large flat rate boxes! which I should have plenty of cross stitch to fill both but I also have a large assortment of craft items that I will start adding once I run out of cross stich items, some fabric, some, ribbon, lace, little crafting knick nacks, I will pack the box or boxes as full as they can get and still close! Happy bidding!

May 1st, 2011 at 2:11:58 PM PDT by

Hey, I just noticed that the word 'stitch' is misspelled in your listing. I don't think you can change it because there have been bids, but maybe admin can do it. Bidders who do searches under 'cross stitch' will not find you!

Apr 30th, 2011 at 2:23:31 AM PDT by

Sent a note to admin hopefully they will change it soon i was distracted by my son and did no kind of spell checking or anything I think from now on I am going to write my auctions up in word and spell check them. then I will cut and paste to list them!
Ok so i am now adding 4 count them 4 more ivory colored 14 count aida cloth 15x18, also adding a another piece of ivory 14 count this one is missing a section, it is 18x15 and missing a section from a corner 5x9 in length ok and now that I found my tape measure ... the oval os officially 5x9 and the other loose aida fabric is not 14 inches but between 14 3/4 inches and 15 inches x18 inches wide and the small circle hoop is 3 inches wide!
What will be added next? when will the next comment come? what is the next great observation? that is the mystery! I still have lots to add! and six days to do it! the higher the bids the more I add, If it goes really high I have plenty of cross stich and then that is all added I have a whole closet full of crafting things, so just give me an idea and if i have extra I will add that too, at 5000 credits I have decided to make this 2 count them 2 large flat rate boxes! happy bidding have a beautiful day! I am going out for a little while to go see my new niece she was born Friday! Also have to go get some good support shoes for my feet but leave me some comments and i will add more things when i get in!

Apr 30th, 2011 at 7:41:41 AM PDT by

Yea! I finaly got caught up with all my email! no more unread emails! in celebration and to thank you for your awesome comment I am adding one blue aida cloth 14 count 14x18 inches blank canvas for you to create to your hearts content! and wooden hoop about 2-3 inches in circumfrence, it's about the size of the top of a canning jar! Also adding one cat baby sampler design. the picture and the instructions. And foir the cat lovers out there, I have onr pattern book "cats and Kittens" charted designs by Julie s hasler , published by Dover Needlwork series published in 1986. Happy bidding still lots more to add, I am looking forward to changing to a large flat rate box! remember as long as you reside inside of the USA shipping is free!

Apr 29th, 2011 at 8:56:16 PM PDT by

Sounds great! Anything with the words cross stitch in it sounds great. Even partial kits are ok, I am sure I have whatever is needed to complete them.

Apr 29th, 2011 at 5:07:45 PM PDT by

oops! reply below!

Apr 29th, 2011 at 9:16:35 PM PDT by

OK, I'll start the bidding......

Apr 29th, 2011 at 4:18:00 PM PDT by

yea to celebrate the first bid i am adding a heart to heart cross stich card has a cute design of two girls sitting on a fence, with friendship sayings around it, also adding, paragon needlecraft kit no 5307, it has 3 difernt designs for cardinals ithink one is 5x7 and the the smaller ones are 2x3 it was given to me and one of the smaller fabrics is missing but it has the frames, the instructions one large and one small fabric coordinating with the pattern and all thread I think. there will be plenty of fabric to complete the 3rd cardinal once the auction finishes! also adding 1 wooden oval hoop, inside is stamped either 5x9 or 6 x9 I think it is a 5x9 but I cannot currently find my measurung tape.
Good luck and happy bidding!
Tons more to add!
If you want to see the kits I think you can bring them up from the manufacture online, the fabric is pretty self explanitory!
Please pardon any spelling errors as I am excited about this auction and sometimes my fingers go faster than my brain!
Happy bidding and Enjoying the comments. I will post a complete list of what has been added so far a the top 3 days before the auction ends in reply to my first comment so you do not have to search out what is in here and agin the day before it ends contents added the last day will be a complete mystery! I promise you will not be disappointed ( unless you don't like cross stich in which case you are looking at the wrong auction!)

Apr 29th, 2011 at 4:57:00 PM PDT by

Is this all counted cross stitch or are any of the kits stamped?

Apr 28th, 2011 at 4:43:40 PM PDT by

they are all counted kits, but a few have some of the background colored in for example the country folk art one I just added, has stamped hearts on the background. Adding, one 14 count 12"x18"navy colored aida cloth.

Apr 28th, 2011 at 4:50:41 PM PDT by

Oh my goodness and I thought I had a lot! You win! :)

Apr 28th, 2011 at 2:41:45 PM PDT by

Ok for the first comment i am putting in the box, dale burdett Kit # ck235 "the oldest friendships are the dearest" cross stich kit with teddybears, not sure of the measurements it is supposed to go in a 10 inch heart frame but it was not with the kit when I got it. I am also putting in a 11"x14" 'folk art country' by janlynn, this has been opened but is complete kit #40-33. feel free to comment it up I have a lot of aida fabric to add and lots more kits i also have hoops! have fun!
