I put mine above my head on the shelf above my desk, so I can't see it and obsess over it

Well now, as per usual I will kick off the gifts received. I was going to wait a while but I need to start preparing dinner (evening meal) and get it on cooking for DS and I so here goes.

Gabrielle -Curious Kitty - thank you so very much for a most innovative and lovely gifts and a learning curve as well.
The package which arrived recently.

Image

Finally got through all the heavy duty cellotape etc to find this -

Carefully lift and spread the paper and this is what I found inside.

Image

A most gorgeous, elegant beautiful Rosewood laying tool; A thingy called and thumbdrive : (never seen one of these before) and a gorgeous Thomas Kincaid card with a lovely note inside

I have had a peek at the 'thumb drive' but will wait for my DD to come home on Tuesday for a better look at the lovely stitching Gabrielle has done plus will download the chart of the 2 owls.
Anything Thomas Kincaid is an added bonus, I love his thoughtful paintings and have 2 of them as small jig saw puzzles which get an airing from time to time.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH GABRIELLE. YOU ARE A :stars: FOR SURE.

Oh Debby I opened my parcel this morning and it was filled with so many lovely goodies! Thank you so much! I have four gorgeous fabrics, two in 14 count and two in 16 count (called Highland, Mesa, Dapple and Doubloon), a fantastic Stoney Creek chart I just love anything to do with Autumn (Fall)! A set of tapestry needles (can never have enough of those :wink: ), and thank you so much for the card of Horsetooth Reservoir I love learning about new places! This was my first Stashmas and won't be the last thank you so much! :hug:

P.S. Sally those are fantastic Stashmas gifts from Gabrielle! The Thomas Kinkade chart just looks so magical! :applesauce:

Nicola is a very naughty stitcher! Look at the wonderfulnesses I received today! I love the coaster (and have hidden the chocolate), the #12 pearl balls are so Christmassy and I do love understated variegated threads. The wonderful book means I might finally understand a lot of stitching techniques and the wool! Well, that's just OTT -- feeding the peg-weaving monster. Thank you So Much!!

Im working on a embroidery for my brand new nephew, and i was trying to think what colour to do some/all of it in, and there it was in my stashmas, the PERFECT variegated floss. wow!

Such lovely Stashmasses everyone! So glad you like your gifts Serinde! Now you see why I had to put them all in a bigger padded envelope! Was scared of squashing them all! @rotfl:
