"The world, as a colourful knot of threads, has turned into a memory, and now you cannot be sure whether it was real." (Géza Ottlik, Hungarian writer)
I got the following "Summer Music" kit for my brother and sis-in-law (he's the only one in my immediate family that hasn't received a xstitch project from me yet--I've got some pretty fabric from silkweavers on order as I wanted something different than the fabric in the kit, but I haven't gotten that yet), "Chinese Zodiac" (they're just way too cute to pass up), a xstitch map of Japan and one of England for me (sorry, no pictures of those two). I just don't know when I'm going to get to all of them.
current project rotation:
Twilight Balloon Flight
The Accolade
Faces of Faery 89
Dad's Flower Pot
A great big thank you to Shelly who sent me a lovely gift today. A lovely tatty teddy bed warmer. His inside goes into the microwave and he warms my bed for me. I was sooooo happy when she offered him to me and I was eagerly waiting for his arrival this morning. So I shredded the wrapping and sat there hugging him when he arrived, but also...there was a very sweet tatty teddy kit in there too which was just such a lovely surprise!
The peacock has landed!
Serinde sent it to me - thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have sent you a pm but suffice to say there is a very warm glow all over this part of Yorkshire.
