I picked up this little weekend kit from Savers on Friday for a whole $3. It was a bit of a risk because it came in a sealed bag so I couldn't tell if the kit was all there or if someone had already started it and made a mess. But fortune favours the brave and my $3 was well spent. The kit was all there including; designer mat (their words) & backing board, glass, thread, needle, aida and 4 frame clips. Please excuse the picture, it's really hard to photograph with the glass and the light.
If I’d read the description at the back of the kit before I purchased it I may not have brought it just on grounds of ridiculousness. The back of this kit reads "You give yourself to others all day long. NOW it's time for you. Reward yourself with a simple Daydream that lets you express your creativity, talent, and good taste."
I laughed and laughed and laughed! So wanky.
Despite the questionable description this was one of the better kits/charts I've encountered.
The thread came seperated in cute little loose knots;
So cute. - I'm easily pleased :)
The chart also had listed how many lengths of each colour there was so putting them in order was painless.
My only issue with the chart would be that it was a bit small. While this is nothing a photocopier wouldn't fix the chart could have easily been a size or two bigger since the instructions were on 2 x A4 double sided pages but the chart only took up one quarter of one page.
But other than that one gripe it was a really good kit. Had enough thread, design was nice but still quite simple to complete in a weekend.
The finished product looks quite nice, though I've managed to get a little bit of stray cat fur stuck under the glass that will be easy enough to fix when I get around to it.
