Has the Postman brought you anything fun in 2014

[kimkat_tkl]

My postman was very busy yesterday - he had three packages to leave me

First my two new wheat bags (only stitchy related because they let me continue to stitch while I'm still sore after a training session)


I also received the two balls of Presencia Finocrochet, of which I'm hoping one will suit my white version of Save the Stitches. Finally I received from Colour Cascade Fabrics: Glendon Place's Rainbow Parfait and Red Velvet Cake charts, 3 packets of needles and a piece of 28ct Golddigger Old Map Lugana. I've decided that my Easter treat this year will be everything for Rainbow Parfait and Red Velvet, so that it's all calorie free!


The postman still has more to bring me: Ordered yesterday two skeins of Threadworx Overdyed Kreinik #4 (again for my white Save The Stitches) from Sew and So and the floss and bead packs for Parfait and Red Velvet which I've ordered through The Stitchers Club

Tracy - Great parcels your postman delivers to you. The 2 Glendon Place charts look interesting.

stitchhappy - those are beautiful charts/kits you have received, love the top 3 especially.

Looking forward to seeing all these lovely designs being worked on.

Beautiful charts, both of you. And that fabric is so lovely Tracy! Looking forward to seeing your all white version of Saving the Stitches. Hmmmm, new block should be out today, I think. Have to go check!

I received a very exciting parcel this morning from Sally aka Squirrel. All the way from Australia to the UK in less than a week. These are goodies that she had left over from her Chatelaine Rose Lights which I am hoping to start soon. Some of these goodies were proving to be very elusive here.


Thank you Sally, you are a superstar!

[Squirrel]

So glad they made such a superfast delivery for you and I was pleased to be able to pass them on to someone else to use. Enjoy playing with them.

Another super fast delivery from Sally in Oz for me too---thank you soooooooo much Sally!!! I can't wait to start on it---here's the photo

[Squirrel]

So glad everyone's postal authorities and on top line at present. Enjoy stitching it Karen.

Can't wait for Easter now so I can start on my calorie free desserts - the postman brought me my thread and bead packs for Rainbow Parfait and Red Velvet Cake (See my post at top of page for charts)

What wonderful treasures the postman has brought everybody I'm looking forwards to the pictures that will surely follow

[meganh]

The mail man Loves me today I got some things I ordered today!! I'm really excited about the small one bottom right It's a sampler for my son and his new wife--an Apache blessing_ The kit itself is c@#! but the pattern is so cool--no picture of it though, it's very southwest with birds,feathers,mountains ect. the reason I'm so excited is my son met his wife while hiking the AT They walked over 2500 miles toghther, and he proposed at the end on top od a mountain saying he had walked this far with her and he wanted to continue to walk through with her!!! Pictures as soon as i have any of it worked

[karen4bells]

Megan, those are all beautiful projects and I can't wait to see progress pics of them. Love the story about your son and future daughter in law

[calico]

What fun! Some awesome hauls here!

In the same shipment as my North Wind pattern, fabric and floss:


I also got this:



I really talked myself into this purely for the ornament issues. My husband transferred the PDFs to my Kindle and I'm thoroughly enjoying looking through past years of mags!!! I've only made it through 2 years so far! Fun!

[meganh]

What a cool book I would buy that just for the ornament collection!

[coolpenguin]

Meganh- I have three of your charts/kits! I hope to do the beachy ABC in 2015 as well as the beer one. The Apache Wedding one is in my stash but I'm not sure when it will be started. The Apache Wedding Blessing was said at the end of my wedding ceremony. Beautiful stash additions!

I spent my gift voucher my husband gave me for Christmas. I've work to do for a while.

[kelleyjogirl]

I just got my first Q Snaps in the mail -- 8x8 and 17x17, with an 11x11 to be delivered next week in a separate package, for some reason. (No pics, but you all know what Q snaps look like . . . )

I was so excited to try them, but I've only opened the 8x8 so far. I'm kind of scared to open the larger ones. I'm almost afraid I'll hate them and then be stuck with them.

I like the 8x8, but I'm still trying to figure out the most comfortable way to hold it. I just started with is yesterday, and my hand and arm is kind of tired/sore. It's only day 2, so I still have lots of hope. (And I love how it holds the project.)

I put an order at http://www.crossstitchheaven.co.uk" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank before leaving for Turkey and here it was waiting for me when I returned
6 packs of Piecemakers needle size 28
1 star the Taylor
20 skeins of DMC Floss I needed to complete kitting up my next HAED Projects

[Mabel Figworthy]

I've been thinking of getting one of those de-tailers -- have you used it yet, and dows it work? It's very pretty!
