Still waiting for a parcel from Hedgehog Handworks in America, sent on the 13th :-( -- and when I try to track it with USPS, the only thing it says is that "USPS have been electronically notified to expect your package for mailing" :shock: Royal Mail says it hasn't come through Customs into this country yet -- so where is it????

52 of my 68 threads ordered for my HAED the other colours will be in stock by the end of the week, very happy now and can't wait to start stitching but not finished my gridding yet.

Mind you if I came away from the internet I'd get it done quicker. :thinks:

Got the first of the two Afghans for the twins. Actually ordered them three weeks ago but the first company let me down. Re ordered from Willow Fabrics on Monday and it came yesterday. Chrissie has decided she would like the Margaret Sherry alphabet which was serialised in Crosstitcher. I will post in SAL when I get started.

Chrissie goes for her 20 week scan today, so we are hoping to find out what gender they are. :D :D

Here’s my latest stash from Casacenina :lol: :
Image

I’ve ordered three of the five designs for CCN “Winter Wonderland” (the other two are still to be released), some pink linen fabric (I’ll use the one in the middle, Permin Cherub Pink, for this project), Casey Buonaugurio’s Carrot Cake Sampler plus a Carrot button to complete it (I already have the DMC threads) and Bone Aida fabric. I’m going to start the Winter Wonderland soon, while the Carrot Cake sampler will have to wait until I’ve finished the Chocolate Cake sampler.
