My "whole lotta latte" is on it's way! Got it for £15.99!

I think I should have asked Santa for some willpower fro Christmas!

Have just finished stitching the Whole Lot of Latte kit. It was fun to stitch and the colours are glorious.

Pretty silks you've got there Kell :)
Maybe I should go and investigate these grab bags...

And that's a rather nice looking box Angel. What's it look like inside? Does it store all your accessories as shown on the pic or just the floss?

I'm actually really pleased with the size of it. It's not a massive work box or anything, but it is big enough to hold a fair bit. Here's the inside, complete with thread...I've started winding them onto bobbins now, they did all come as skiens.

Thanks :)
I can see the size better with the skeins inside. It is a handy size, isn't it.

Yay!! My kit arrived this morning. How's that for service. Less than 24 hours from order to delivery. Well done Cross Stitch Corner!

I thought so. That's why I left them where they were. Sorted into three nice and handy piles. The one on the lid is threads I didn't have (bobbin included) 1 pile is where I only had 1 of that colour and the other pile is ones I have coming out of my ears :P

Thread creative stash packs HERE.
(choose from mixed perle, mixed stranded cotton, mixed silk, or creative which has a mix of all 3 I think - I chose mixed silks).

Fabric variety packs and grab bags HERE.

Polstitches have such beautiful products that this is a great way to sample them. The only problem I have is that with the fabric grab bags, they don't label what anything is, so you have to have a look at the site and guess which one yours is based on which picture it looks most like.

I was given a subscription to Cross Stitcher Magazine for Xmas and I think this is the gift I'll be getting with it (I hope so, anyway!). Still waiting for the first issue and the gift to arrive though - apparently I should be getting the mag from this month...

As I came home from Sweden, two lovely gifts awaited me: a bag of tea from Freelady, to help me sleep better :wub: and a New Stitches magazine from Jilly :wub:

:dance: :dance: :dance:

Thank you very much to both of you.

The postman brought me this book yesterday, Jane Austen's Sewing Box with craft projects from her books. Haven't had a change to look in it properly, but can't wait to do some projects :)
