When I stopped by Acorns and Threads last month, the new ones were seriously hard to resist. But I've got Hocuspocusville to work on and, at fourteen bucks a chart, I couldn't justify adding them to my collection when I've done so little cross-stitching lately.
A couple of weeks later, I was at Joanns and saw the Just Cross Stitch 2012 Halloween Special Collector's Issue. It was love at first sight, never mind that it was a ten dollar magazine and I wound up paying almost full price.
There are so many projects in here that I want to make, some with the same feel as the ones I was tempted by at the LNS.
There was also a 2010 issue and a 2011 issue...how did I miss those!? Out of habit, I always keep my eyes open for the Christmas Ornament issue, even though I haven't bought the past few. Happily, the other two Halloween issues are still available and I just ordered them from 1-2-3 Stitch. I can't remember if I'd ordered from them back in the heat of my cross-stitching obsession, or if I've just heard good things about them.

You are making me want to pull out the cross stitch book of quilting months that has been sitting for years! I think I started it before I met my DH - so more than 7 years ago. I've done 2 of the months so far. Did you know there is a counted cross stitch calendar - each month includes a project with pattern? I think you'd like it.
