Great stash hauls, ladies!

KK, as far as I know Tartan Green is a darkish green not unlike bottle green but a bit brighter (I've got a pice that was sold as Tartan green which is like that, but I don't know how much the shade differes between manufacturers)

So it's not actually tartan then? LOL (That could look kinda cool with a Scottie dog stitched on it ... if you like that sort of thing|)

Ahh, cool, I wondered if it had a tartan pattern printed on it

Looking forward to seeing them as SALS or in the Mini´s thread.

The All our Yesterdays kit is K3380, View from the Gate.

The tartan green evenweave has been pretty accurately described by Mabel Figworthy

Yes it all came from ebay. I was up very early on Sunday morning to catch the auctions as they finished and enter last minute bids.

A couple of my recent purchases from ebay for cross stitch stuff have prooved bitter sweet though because for some reason paypal took the money from an acccount i dont use - it didnt have enough money in it so I have been levied a charge of £22 for going overdrawn by £1.19

Oh well, at least I have lots of stitching goodies to be getting on with

My disney chart book and 6 Anchor threads from sew and so

My subs copy of World of Cross Stitching....and a bumper stash of card papers & embellishments from Ebay!!

Today I received another of the kits in the Oriental flowers collection and some airplane charts and Thread Heaven from Sew and So (superfast delivery!).

A chart for the Evening Star which is going to be a birthday present for my father-in-law later in the year... He apparently drove the train in his youth, and has been a lifelong train enthusiast as well as making it his career until his recent retirement.

Also got a dolphin chart that caught my eye, and two fat quarters of white 18ct Aida that I'm hoping to be able to use for the train and dolphin projects.

I also got the paperback version of the DaVinci Code for 99p from fleabay

That train is gorgeous!

This morning he brought me my order from ArtyMiss......3 mini punches and some summer card embellishments, and 10 ATC blanks.....time to get experimenting I think!!

Yes, one of my New Stitches magazines - I won 2 on e-bay the other day (they haven't arrived yet), but I was outbid on one, and I really wanted it because it has a sepia picture of London - now I know it's the Tower bridge, and I love it.... - so I ordered it from the magazine's site.
Luckily, a very little unexpected money appeared on my account, just enough to cover this - I cannot really afford to spend much these days.

Postie brought me a floral sampler chart which I have been waiting for from the US of A. (Repeats to herself - 'do not start until finished current project, do not start until finished current project........').

he certainly did, a "new" pair of straighteners, bought a used pair of ebay cuz mine had died a horrible death, and they are marvellous

and I am applying for full time jobs as we really need the extra pennies, and although I love M&S, they are startign to annoy me now anyway one of the jobs i applied for as invited me to the next stage of the selection test which is numeracy and literacy tests I'm soo happy, I was expecting a thanks but no thanks.

I got my e-bay winning New Stitches maganzines, too yesterday. They are all so good. I am really contemplating a subscription. But not now - after my Scotland trip. Now I need to save (almost) every penny for it.

oh i forget he also bought me a sample of the wedding inviatitions and it made me want them even more!!

Good luck with the job Lisa, Go for it, you can do it

It's not strictly from "the postperson" but I got a load (30+!) of XS magazines off eBay and went to collect them. Don't expect me to resurface for some time ...

[EDIT]: I counted - 57!! magazines - for £30. What a bargain

I'll miss ya!

Fleabay?? Would this be E-Bay or something else?


Well, not from the mailman, but a really nice little old lady that has pretty much adopted me brought me over a few older XS Mags. They are from the 80's I believe, but have the besssttt designs. (No elephants though!)
