the materials for Celtic autumn & christmas

A wonderful surprise box of chocolates from my Chocolate Fairy! Thanks TB!

Yes!
Today in the post I received 2 lovely little kits from Val (valb58) in exchange for the Popcorn calender. One has scented thread so that willbe interesting to stitch. The other was a peacock butterfly.

Thank you Val, love 'em both!!

i got a menu from a new yummy vegetarian place in the mail yesterday..we ate dinner there..well they deliver so we ate at home..but yeah..
that was the ONLY good thing in my mail lol

I am pleased you like them Wendy. I hope you didn't get cold sitting waiting by the door for them. It would seem they really went by snail mail.

A similar idea to biscornu, but they are called Humbugs!

They are smashing

Aren't those humbugs fun

I received a letter from Carolyn, and Wendy's mushroom Jazlyn ! I think it may be a little too light for what I had in mind for it, but I'm sure I'll find a nice project to use it for

I'm glad it arrived OK.
Perhaps you could do the same design but in a dark thread.

The Secret Stashmas goodies have arrived...

my 2nd stashmas have arrived, along with the material for the something personal thing. i also bought "the twizzler" for my rotating frame

Some stashmas stuff came through yesterday, as well as some Anchor Lurex for me which I've been having fun with

I had an awesome idea for something to stitch for the personal aspect of stashmas...now, I remember that it was awesome, I just don't remember what it was!
