What a brilliant idea. I go through loads of staples and paper clips at work - this would make a great difference. Where can I buy one please Lisa :D :D

my burr-muda triangle chart, with a extra chart, it looks like it was from the cross stitch calender but a lovely surprise :wub: and she only charged me 20 centsmore than the actual postage, which is fab,seeing as some ebay sellers take the pee with the postage charges

and a card reader so i can update you all now without having to wait for paul to die/switch games

Some green silk thread that Rose very kindly sent me - will experiment when I have made a bit more progress on my dog project. Thank you very much Rose, you are so kind :wub:

Also, not related to cross stitch, I received a pair of big earrings from ebay ready for my disco weekend with the girls on the 24th! Can't wait, only trouble is, can I last a whole weekend without stitching........ :dance:

I think my postie must have gone on strike :thinks: He didn't even bring bills or junk mail, most unusual. I will have to wait patiently another day for my things from sew and so in the meantime I think I will have a :tea: :cake:

Yesterday the nice postman brought me my new kits - lots of little animal ones and two big oriental flowers and birds ones.

Today he will *hopefully* be bringing me two more kits and my sewing bag. :-D

I love getting parcels in the mail!

The postman came back and he brought me goodies! :-)

Got two new kits - Oriental flowers again to go with the chrysanthemum one I have started - and a yummy bag to keep everything in. Was going to make one myself but didn't want to use up valuable cross stitching time!

I saw it and couldn't resist! The kit was only pocket money, and the coaster I had in my stash anyway :)
