:applesauce: :applesauce: The only hard part of that wonderful gift is which one you will stitch first??? I think it is great when someone buys themselves a present. It is such a great reason to treat yourself to a stash splurge!

I had a wonderfully full to the max mail box today. No bills, one Netflix DVD (George Gently Disc 1 Series 5) I don't know how many series there are of this, but I do like them and they aren't on any TV here. ) A lovely package from 123 Stitch with the box of new DMC threads
Image
and more DMC perles for my Xmas Rounds and I also added Lavender Mist Caron Watercolors and Wildflowers and a Primrose Wildflower (already had the Watercolor skein)
Image
and (though you can't really see them because I don't want to unpack them yet)
the coasters from Mabel!!!
Image
Need to stop typing and get back to my stitching!

WOW What a big mail box full that was Carole. Absolutely gorgeous.

Here is my haul from the Craft Show I went to this morning.

Image

The upper lot is card making supplies, not a lot available this time - rather disappointing. Yes the same stands were there but with less variety/supplies.

The fabric is from my guys at Sewitall 3 pieces of 28 ct Lugana and 3 piece of 25 ct Lugana all in soft pastel shades for cards etc.
And "yes Mabel they are expensive" - have hiked up their prices a bit this year. :( I didn't see any linen I liked though but did get some DMC perles and other lovely threads the latter for Stashmas so can't show them yet - sorry Serinde no peeking.

All in all a bit disappointing as Sewitall were the only stand to have stitching fabrics available although there were several stands with threads.

A good mornings work. :D

Lovely stash additions!

I like George Gently too. We watched it on Netflix on demand. I don't remember, but I don't think there were many episodes on there.

Sally those are lovely shades of fabric -- so much better to see them in real life to decide if they are what you want, isn't it? Shame there wasn't a lot of card-making, and generally I too found this year that the variety was less. Still makes a lovely day out though :-)

Carole, glad the coasters arrived safely *phew* and I am now sorely tempted by Primrose which I think is one of the few shades I haven't got yet :-) Must add it to my wishlist...
