I got one package I had been waiting on which had 60 26ct needles (i know it's alot but it's for my pako needle organizer), some thread heaven, some stitch bows, and some stitch bow holders. So I guess I can get organized...still waiting on some fabric and threads to come so I can actually start my fractal and haed.

My Dimensions Gold Wreath of Roses came today at last - it's over three weeks since I bought it on eBay. It looks realllly complicated with a huge amount of backstitching and lots of french knots and goodness knows what else. Think I might work on my HAED a bit longer before plucking up the courage to start this one - at least it's just straight forward stitches!

Nothing in the mail, but went to Joann's to get some mats for framing a few :wip: (they sell uncut mats in 3 sizes starting with 8x10 for $1, $2, and $3) and blending filaments. Thanks to Kerri for the coupon! I also bought this kit for daughter (she fell in love with the kittens) for $5.

150 Anchor threads.

I went to pick up my undelivered parcel from yesterday and the guy at the desk was awefully rude! I handed him the note thing the postman had left me.
"It's not in yet"
So when will it be in?
"It was only delivered yesterday"
So?
*funny look*
When will it be delivered?
"Try tomorrow"

How rude! When I lived in Deepcar the parcels were available to pick up pretty much the same day, and the post man didn't even bother to fill in the box of "please leave _ hours before collecting".

So I told my dad and he said he'd talk to their boss for me, because he know their boss because he's their security person and deals with their boss.
