I got the Poppy pattern that Kell had up for grabs. Now to find just the right fabric and figure out how to make the lattering show up nice and dark when I do it. But I need to work on my angel a bit more first.

Thanks Kell I really think it is going to work well for me.

Just one or two bits and pieces from Tandem Cottage - I sent off for some crochet cotton for mum and HAD to add a few bits to make a decent order up. A fat quarter of white aida, three coloured pieces of aida, some felt and a few DMC floss. :D

:cry: My parcel didn't arrive, I got so excited leaving work thinking it would be hear, but we seem to have a parttime postman. If there is a "d" in the day he may or maynot come.

Never mind I'll have the same anticipation again tomorrow

Well I took myself on a bit of a stash spree at Michael's today, so that doesn't really count because I carried it home myself....but when I got back, the evenweave I ordered from eBay was waiting for me in my mailbox!! Now I am only missing one color for my grandma's present :) I think I'll probably start it without that last color...I'm sure there's plenty I can do without it ;) (not that I don't have ANYTHING else to keep me busy!)
