And stash from Tiffstitch:
Glad you like them! I'm so happy to have the fabric, I already have plans. Though now I think about it I don't think I posted pics? I'll have to correct that swiftly. ;)

Looks like a lot of us are getting some very nice things in the post lately. My postie brought me Cross Stitcher issue 236 which I'd won off of ebay and a beautiful variegated silk floss from Mabel! Thanks so much Mabel :dance: :dance:

Glad they're all arriving safely and fairly quickly :-)

TB, that is a lovely collection of stash -- have fun with the Mary Hickmott book, it's really easy to follow so you'll be producing doilies and table runners in no time :-)!

I'm sure you'll find a good use for the charms Angel :) and I'm glad you like the bears. Isn't it good when a trade works out so well for both sides :)

Not even slightly stitchy, but I just received a parcle from my sister!! :D

Lots of Indian spices I struggle to buy in France, Cadburys Flakes, Chocolate Digestives, 'Lush' Shampoo Bars and lots of goodies I miss from the UK. It's a sort of belated birthday and early Easter pressie which has brightened up my day!! :dance: :dance:

Yes, my biscornu from Ali, which turned out to be TWO biscornus! One with Kell's lovely birds and blooms design, and one very thoughtfully on a Dutch theme, with tulips and lots of orange -- thank you so much Ali, they're beautiful!
