I was really lucky today my postie brought quite a few pretty dragon floss from so & sew and also a few bobbins of rainbow glissen gloss which Mabel very kindly pointed out in you 'enmabling' thread, both orders I only put in yesterday so really quick
Issue 4 of New Stitches arrived home safely, Mabel. Glad it was of use to you. (Those early editions were bi-monthly, btw, in case you are ever asked in the next Stash & Grab pub quiz.)
she has bought me a hoodie i ordered for paul for his valentines pressie, some signs and ribbon for the wedding post box, and the giraffe plastic canvas bookmark kit that was featured in this months cross stitcher, i couldn't resist it
You remember that wonderful card Rose posted a few days ago in the mini-section, with the words "hugs"? Well, the postie brought it to me today!
Thank you, Rose, I really appreciate it!

I'm really suprised that I actually got this - I had had it on my wishlist for a long time and it was retired by HAED mid August last year so I quickly searched around to find somewhere that still sold it. Placed an order with a few other threads etc. Well I got the other stuff but the chart was placed on back order. Well the credit card that I'd used expired in September and since I hadn't heard anything more about the chart I figured that I would never get it. Well a couple of weeks ago I got an email saying that the chart had finally come in! So I sent them new credit card details and yesterday I finally got the chart I ordered in AUGUST!
my postie brought me 100 new dmc threads for my umbrella sky haed design the colours are so bright i almost thought they had sent the wrong ones lol
