Yes, the magazine with the article about making your own aida/linen band, from Serinde -- with a neat colour converter with it! Thank you .

I've made notes and have a few ideas now about making the band!

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*

He brought me the lovely evenweave from Mabel. Thank you Mabel they are wonderful. I have posted you the money.

Thanks Wendy

Have Chart will travel eh??

I'm glad it got there eventually! Enjoy!!

Juliana has arrived in Scotland, too. What lovely, soft fabric it is, Mabel! Thanks so much!

I finally got my anchor threads through this morning that I won on ebay last week, fun day today to sort them all out with my bobbins

lots of bags from ebay so i can sort my fabric out

i got 100 bags for £3.15 they arent the griplock ones but a spot of sellotape will sort that problem out

Glad to hear both lots have arrived safely! Enjoy the stash

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...

the materials for the celebration sampler, with paul maybe out of work i got them while we had the money

Lotsof stuff off CC for Jess Materials threads and some chart books can't wait for her to see them

Lisa I didn't know about Paul sorry hun

4 pieces of 18 ct aida I bought from Mira

I recieved my Sampler pattern from Kute Kitty. Thank you very much this should be fun. Now to decide on what cloth to use.

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!!

Now I can start My 'Flying Owls' T'bear!!

Rose, I'm really impressed I got there so fast! I only posted it on Tuesday!

I got a nice haul of stash from minij, thank you Janet (I would've done the chart for nothing...but I'm not complaining!)

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

A book of 27 patterns of bookmarks and 5 different shades of 14 ct aida fiddler fabric (won on ebay).

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 )
