Some hand dyed aida from silkweavers. I ordered it Tuesday and got it Saturday. It was in their odds and ends group so I didn't have to wait to get it dyed. Yeah me! It's so pretty.

Oh, yes, the second sending of my Perle threads from Sew and So. When I saw it first, I almost got a heart attack. The envelop had a hole in it. I thought if something was missing, I would tear my hair out (a stupid Hungarian saying)! But luckily, the threads were in one more plastic bag inside the envelop, so nothing was lost . *sighs*

Thanks Wendy
The colours are gorgeous, and I think they might become the basis of various sorts of satin stitch bell pulls. My first thought was, of course, hardanger; but why cut away all that lovely fabric. However... there are designs that utilise lots of pulled stitches rather than cutting...
AT Last! My order from Happy Hobbits!
A wonderful piece of Purple linen and a handful of anchor threads.
HH are sloooooow but cheap! At least they answered my email when I asked what the hold up was and emailed me when they sent out. I shall suggest to them that if an item is out of stock they should let the customer know!!
Not today but this week I have received in the post 4 different scented Yankee Candles, 50 threads and bobbins to go with mum's christmas present, Mamma Mia DVD for my sisters present. Am now just waiting on soft toys from the Disney Store for my OH's uncle and Aunty to give to their grandchild!
a lovely £3 voucher to spend on choc from cadbury. i complained because there was a choc for xmas day. they have passed my meesage onto the seasonal marketing team and sent me £3 to spend on sweeties not bad considering the calender only cost 99p
Today is Sunday and surprise, the postperson came to my door with 2 packages. Both Christmas presents. One was a secret Santa exchange (which I opened and got a scissor Fob, matching row counter, a frogging needle (All beaded). A peice of linen just the right size for a needle roll, a calendar mousepad and a cute snowman ornament. Oh and ).
The other I hid till christmas (hope I remember where )
