yay my lizzie kate charts arrived....finally!!

yay well done

I got the book of charts by TW that I have been waiting for. It's called the Best of TW - Fantasy Collection.

My Sew and So giftie from Dawn arrived yesterday, I've just been exhausted (working very hard and being kept awake at night by a partner who last night actually elbowed me in the head in his sleep...) so not been able to post about it! Thank you Dawn, you are a soft touch and it's great!

I got the very cute Christmas Grapevine Wreath kit from Busy-B today. Thank you so much Barb, I'm going to enjoy stitching this one.

Ooo sounds like the postman has been busy hehe

I got my threads recently, ready for the Celebration Sampler The start of my proper thead collection as well

Sorry for the long reply, I've only just seen this. I don't think it is a Framecraft one, it just says "Square Acrylic Coaster" on my order form and on the website.

I did get my replacement very quickly though, and it came wrapped in 2 layers of bubble wrap and 2 layers of cardboard

I'm glad you got it! I hope you enjoy it!

Today the postperson brought me a lovely mixture of coloured fabrics from Rose. The green is perfect for the sweet peas that I plan to do as it is a delicate enough colour. I will make good use of the other colours too. I have a box with my collection of fans in it and the top of it is for displaying a picture or craft work so I have plans to stitch either a blackwork fan or some other fans for it. My room is painted a peachy/pale terracotta colour and so far I had not seen a suitable fabric on which to stitch the fans but low and behold the pale peach that Rose put in the package fits the bill perfectly. So two out of the four are already allocated, which took me all of two minutes, so the others will have a role very quickly I suspect.

Thanks very much Rose.

I'm excited as these you stitch on plastic canvas and you use wire to create added elements to them!

CF you are going to have great fun completing these, they all look like fun to do.

Some very pretty silks from Australia -- but unfortunately they were the wrong silks ! I wrote to them and we'll see how they solve it.

Rosemary I am so glad that the colors are going to work so well for the projects you want to do.

CF those are so cute you should have some lovely crafts out of them.

Mabel how sad get all excited to have your thread and then find it is not correct hope it is quickly fixed for you.

A wonderful surprise - variegated floss in my absolutely favourite colour from Slinky - it was not necessary but thank you very very much,

Yes, my bingo prize fron Susan F.
Super silks (that I've never tried stitching with), fabric, some thread heaven and gold needles.
Thank you Susan, I'm so thrilled and as I said in my pm, "You Have Really Made My Day!!!!"
