Wow Slinky, what a bargain! *wonders how she missed that one...*

not today but saturday i got some dmc from charmagne and today i got lots of stash presents from my OH for my birthday

Congratulations, CC, enjoy the new stash!

I got four pieces of fabric from silkweavers. 14ct Desert Sky, 14ct Sudden Storm 14ct Golden Promise and 14ct something (no color label, it was an odds and ends lot). I just love getting their fabrics.

This morning I got the marble blue aida I ordered for my dad's aeroplane sampler. It's perfect, looks just like sky!

I got some mint green 28ct evenweave that i won for a pound off ebay!!!

great bargain donlou!!!!

nothing stitchy, but he did bring me some amazing jute bags, with a rocket on one side and Shaun on the other and a castle on another and Maggie. I am thinking of filling them up with goodies for the kiddies at the wedding, so these were "testers" to ensure they were what I want, and they are

What a great idea Lisa. What size are they? Were they good value?

Rosemary

the woman who made them was one of my online friends from my parenting forum.

if you go to http://www.beansprog.com/product/browse/" target="_blank and search for jute bag, you will find all her designs, they are perfect for kiddies. She is going to upload some photos soon, once she does ill post some pics of the ones I have, our camera is broke, maggie threw it so its getting fixed

Thank you so much, what a wonderful site.

Rosemary

She brought me nothing -- and I know there are two parcels in the post on their way to me!

The lovely generous Mags sent me a chart from a magazine I had been looking for. It arrived so quickly I cannot be sure she didn't hand deliver it!

Thank you Mags

You're very welcome

Lots of goodies came for me -

A pack of 5 DMC threads I was waiting for as I'd run out of some colours on my HAED;

A piece of dove grey 16 count Aida for the next project I plan to start soon - a picture of my dog;

A brake disc for one of my motorbikes!!

My postman is being mean. He hasn't brought my copy of CrossStitcher yet. I've reported it missing, but I'm actually considering going and buying a copy, just to get my fix, then giving it to Mal when my replacement copy comes!

Y'know, that's not actually a bad idea...

I got a book of William Morris motifs in cross stitch I bought off eBay for pennies.

Well happy with it!

I'm eagerly awaiting a pack of 40 skeins from a seller on fleabay.
I had an email on Monday pm saying the package had been despatched, so was hoping to take delivery today. Oh well, I suppose I'll have to carry on waiting

Likewise here -- one parcel on its way from America, one from the Netherlands, but boy they're dragging their heels in getting here!

I have three parcels on the way - two stitching, one not. Hopefully all should arrive tomorrow. After that, no more fleabay for me for a while!

Ditto. Have two packages being sent from the States. they're taking AGES! One's from 1-2-3 Stitch which is reputable so I'm not overly concerned just yet.

JUST IMPATIENT!!
