A lovely piece of dusky blue fabric from Thread Bear
No not our own T'bear :choc: fan! but these people

http://www.thread-bear.co.uk" target="_blank
I'd never ordered from them before but Rachael had and they are really helpful. I phoned them as the colour I wanted wasn't displayed on the site. I wanted to see if it was still in stock. They only had a bit left so I bought a half metre. :dance: They took my order then and there over the phone.
When it arrived today it had been wrapped in tissue paper and tied up with a length of red ribbon! :king: And a very generous half metre it is too! :dance:

I've bookmarked their site to use again! :D

I have it bookmarked as well now Wendy :dance:
My Dragon Floss threads turned up today, they feel wonderful :wub:
Also, we took Katie and the girls to Shrewsbury to find clothes for the girls, went into next and came out nearly £200 poorer :shock: It is clothing for the next growth stage for both girls, so I think we did quite well really :shifty:

Well have just ordered my fabric in a pretty blue and my first 52 threads for my first HAED....Star Weaver.
I have also ordered my needles, they had run out of the gold plated ones in size 28 so ordered them in platinum......has anyone used the platinum needles? are they just as good as the gold ones?
And also some needlepaints to finish my L&L Celtic Summer ....although had to order form two differnt places to get the last few I was chasing......so just finishing my UFO while I wait for my stash to turn up.

Very excited.....even paid for priority service to get them here quick. :dance:

OOooo love some of the stash you guys have received of late.....fantastic.

Happy Stitching

xx

Yesterday I collected several packages from the post office so I was really happy.

Dragon Floss grab bag from Stitch Direct
Image

DMC Rayon Threads grab bag from Stitch Direct
Image

Four pieces of Vintage Aida from e-bay
Image

Frames and Stamens for my ceramic flower making from e-bay
Image

I also picked up an envelope from my eldest daughter which contained my Mothers Day card which she made. I is exceptional, four sided so that it stands up as a square. One side is the message and the other three are decoupage pictures of my favourite All Our Yesterdays in metalics.

I got my package from Joann's of the kits I ordered that were on sale. The names of the kits are:

Music is Harmony (gift for SIL)
Lost No More (gift for other SIL)
Pansy Profusion (this was the one I added because shipping was free-I don't know who it's for I just liked it)
Hummingbird & Bamboo (for my living room)
Eeyore Feeling Dreamy (I :wub: Eeyore)
O' Holy Night Advent Calendar (gift for my nieces & nephews)
Seashell kit (for my bathroom)
Wild Thing birth Record (gift for my nephew)
Holiday Minis set (for ornaments)

I think I'm going to need another lifetime just to stitch everything I had before let alone the new stuff I'm getting (and will be getting in the future, since you never stop buying stash).
current project rotation:
Twilight Balloon Flight
The Accolade
Faces of Faery 89
