[Rose]

Again I know it is a few days early but the other thread was getting to long.

A couple of days early, but the postie's just been and I've received 4 gorgeous variegated flosses from Karen. Thank you, Karen - they are stunning and I LOVE them!

I won a £10 voucher for Polstitches on another forum, so I've just ordered a Creative Stash Pack of mixed silks, which will include Stef Francis, Rhajmahal Art Silk and Dinky Dyes. I can hardly wait for it to arrive!

I just got the DMC flosses to complete my stash ones for the HAED Merlin and Arthur - so a fun day in prospect putting them all onto bobbins!!

Let's see... Today I received a couple of Ebay purchases - a Prairie Moon chart - Thine is the Trick and the Treat. It is stitched entirely in black silk, so hopefully I won't get too bored with it. Also received a Wentzler kit - English Garden Welcome. It already came with evenweave, so yippee, I won't have to replace the fabric...

Ooh - he brought my Christmas present (part of it anyway!) today - 4 HAED charts, The Dreamer, Fairy at Sunset, Tree of Life and Catamount! I've just started my first HAED, a smaller QS (quickstitch) as part of their 2011 freebie SAL and I'm just dying to start a full size one as well. The hard part will be deciding on which one to start!!

[XandraS]

Got my goodies from Sew and So today, 28 count antique white Brittney, 32-count flax Belfast Linen, some Gentle Art Sampler Threads for my Sleepy Hollows Sampler and some Weeks Dye Works for a L*K project and the Sleepy Hollows.

Also got a piece of 32 count jobelan I won in an auction on ebay, it's from Silkweaver but I have no idea which one. Not sure what to do with this one, thinking a Mirabilia one, maybe Bluebeard's Princess as I love the blues in that one.

Anyway here is a pic

[Trylla]

I finally got my very first issue of Just Cross Stitch, which is my very first cross stitch magazine subscription. So fun!!

I also received my order from Sewandso a few days ago: 2 kits, one of Lickle Ted and the other of Tatty Teddy. (They will both be turned into baby announcements, as this seems to be the year of the baby for my friends.)

Drooly stash pics, Xandra!

[Vega]

Last Friday & on Monday I received my Mill Hill ornaments I'll try to post a pic this week, there's so much to do, and even more to buy!

[Carole]

I spotted a kit last weekend while I was idly surfing and it called to me. It's not as if I don't have enough lined up to last me several years, but you know how it is...

It arrived today and I really, really need to play with it soon. Isn't it pretty?



I'm debating whether to change the fabric though. It's on black Aida and I much prefer to stitch on evenweave. I might get some black Jobelan instead.

[karen4bells]

Carole, what a fun design!! This is so colorful and is going to be fun to watch!!! Hope you find the fabric you are wanting for it!! Can't wait to see you begin on it!

[3madspaniels]

Carole,that design shouted out to me too when I saw it on the back of one of my cross stitch magazines last month! The colours are great. I was resisting the temptation, but having now seen it in more detail, it may be sneaking it's way into my stash! This forum is so bad for my bank account!

I'd have to stitch it on evenweave too! That's one thing I hate about buying kits. I usually give the aida away.

The postman has already delivered a House Mouse kit and some 36 count evenweave this week!

*goes off to look for kit*!!!

[Mabel Figworthy]

What a cheerful and colourful design, great!

[K1nS]

Since the new year I have received alot of goodies, from ebay of course I ordered 3 lots of aida (pink, yellow and glitter) I also ordered some white card and envelopes and some "handmade by" stitckers for my stitched cards
