Today I received The Castle chart from Coffee-Freak. I'm so pleased to have this in my stash to look forward to starting in the dim and distant future when I've finished my dragon, unicorn and angel.

Thank you, C-F.

Yay, congrats Mabel! I'm so pleased for you. :hug:

Got my first subscriber issue of cross stitcher today, which the dog 'kindly' tried to drag out of the letterbox for me :shock: fortunately I got there just in time to rescue it. :roll:

My package arrived from 1-2-3 Stitch this morning:

- A white afghan (with 35 squares to stitch!)
- 2 packs of perforated paper (one antique brown, the other white) because I've never tried it before!
- 2 unstitched finished bookmarks (one white, one cream)
- A bunch of variegated DMC flosses

Am well chuffed because even with P&P the whole thing only came to about $45 which is, what, about £25 or something? I thought it an absolute steal, even if I did have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive! :)

All I got on Friday was a bill, no mail here in Aus on Saturdays,
which is hard to get used to - NZ has Saturday delivery which is so useful when one is running late with a birthday greeting.

Hope you enjoy your new Ott Light Linda, I believe they are really great to use.

a wooden wheelbarrow garden picture cross stitch kit, a pattern of a watering can in a garden setting pattern and some aida fabric, pink and steel grey :dance:

I am waiting for a kit - oriental orchids I got from America, and the "beware of the cat" kit from UK. Damn this distance rubbish..I want them all NOW :x

hmmm, I am sure there was something else. I shall have to double check my list. If not, it will be time to purchase something..a mailbox without new stash is just a waste of a mail box. :thinks:

Before I left on my vacation I got my Lady of Shalott pattern that I had been waiting (not so patiently) for. I now have 6 or 7 HAED/Mystic Stitch patterns that I want to be working on RIGHT THIS MINUTE, but I really think I should finish some of the stuff I've already got started.
