I know this isn't cross stitch related but I did get a lovely picture of my new nephew and the cutest little baseball card they made with him in it. My older brother is absolutely obsessed with the Los Angeles Angels and so his new little boy is already getting showered with angel stuff. It's cute though!

ANOTHER new kit! This one was from someone on ebay who had bought a number of kits while on holiday in the US and then decided she had too many. It's a dreamcatcher with a verse underneath, so I'll start a SAL for it when I start it. It's a small project so I intend to keep it for doing at work after I've finished my sunflowers.

Hope it's got some designs you'll enjoy stitching!

I got my pieces of jobelan off eBay today -- ice blue (which has a slightly greenish tinge; unexpected but rather nice), lilac and pink.

My 24" x 27" piece of black 20ct lugana fabric came from Needle in a Haystack. Wow that was quick and I already like the fabric!

A WOXS magazine from Bert with some lovely stained glass Christmas designs -- no Christmas cards for me this year, but I'll definitely use them next year!

And I'd asked for a brochure from Pearsall's, and it came with a complimentary skein of their filoselle silk! I'll enjoy trying yet another silk :dance: :dance:
