I know you won't regret it!!

Jo has emailed me already and I have just ordered 2 bags.........oops !

That's super!! She really is great at replying to emails and they are ever so fast shipping them out!! I can't wait to see what treasures you will get!

Hehe, we really are all hopeless addicts... I ordered two bags yesterday. I wonder if Jo is wondering why the big influx of orders all of a sudden!

Okay, is the only way to do this to send an email? And its paypal so that is easy. All I say is that I want an "oops" bag. And then I get whatever is in it?
All those threads are looking so lovely. I don't have a clue what I will do with them but then Mabel's SAL will be coming up in only 9 months so if these threads will work for that I might as well start gathering stash now. (I can find an excuse all the time)

Carole

Go on Carole - you know you want to! Yes, you just send an email to Jo saying that you would like how ever many Oops bags and then she will get back to you telling you the total cost so you can PayPal the money across. You might get some perle in there (I gather it could be a mixture of silks/cottons/perle/ribbon) so it may be useful for Mabel's SAL....... - but do you really need any excuse?

email sent. I would guess I'll get an answer Monday.

Carole

I've used DD silks on my Chatelaine, they are wonderful to work with. Although I havent found a silk I didn't like yet!

Congrats on your orders ladies, it will be fun to see what we all get!

Jo told me she has boxes of oops that she is wanting to get rid of so order lots!!!!

Well, already got an email back and have sent her my address. I only ordered one bag, but I have this feeling that if I love it half as much as the rest of you do, I am in big trouble.

Carole

looks like a lot of us have fallen in love with the oops bags!! I may just have to order another sometime soon!!

You ladies won't regret it.

Ditto (love it when Martina uses more DDs than other silks as not only are they awesome to work with but are the cheapest of the silks)! Though for some reason I'm not keen on Thread Gatherer silks - but I think that has more to do with the fact that when I've used them I haven't been overly keen on the colours needed in the chart. If I'd started off using them with a purple thread I'm sure I would love them just as much as the others .

Look forward to seeing what we all get! Some people might buy themselves chocolate as a little treat - threads are much better for your waistline though!

She is so amazing and responsive. My oops bag is being sent today. I can't wait!

Carole

I've resisted so far on the grounds that at the moment I'm mostly using perle cottons, but they are a lovely silk to work with so how knows

Now if she were to do a perle Oops bag ....

Mabel,I would advise emailing Jo and asking if you could have all perle.Knowing Jo I'm sure she would oblige,especially as you are a designer.

Hmmmm, what a good idea !

You do realise you have just done immeasurable damage to my budget ?

What was postage for these to the UK?

Postage to UK was $3.50 (for one bag) - can't wait for my bags to arrive!!!!

Just had to fill my car with fuel!!! That combined with my parking permit running out next week I think I better resist!!!

Or just start walking

Walking is good for you
