the brush on my hoover is very .... er ... colourful

Got a single skein of DMC666 (Red) to be used in my Evening Star train project...

Also waiting for a couple of bobbin rings and a fat quarter of 18ct white Aida from fleabay

yesterday i got 100 plastic bobbins

I would have moaned that it was all rubbish, just leaflets, but I got cards from Lizzy and Sarah as well for TOF's, so that made it well worth the postman's visit after all!

Thank you both, they're wonderful!!

My parcel from Sew and So is stuck at the sorting office cos it was too big to go through the letterbox.

Well not the postperson, but a friend. She came for lunch today and gave me a belated birthday gift of a Wiehenburg chart, Quaker Circle

It is,of course,a lovely gift, but especially so when you consider she's not a stitcher and I hadn't dropped her any hints. She'd researched it all herself, asked me a few subtle questions (I don't even recall her asking!) and chosen the chart for me.

I'm so touched. That's thoughtfulness!

What a wonderful friend to find you such a thoughtful and welcome gift!

Slinky that is so great, what a wonderful friend.

Well I got a lovely surprise today - I won a Cross Stitch Collection crossword prize - two table cloths (one is a runner, the other 80 cm square) and 5 Zweigart ideas booklets.

Slinky that was really thoughtful of your friend, what a special gift

I'm getting quickly obsessed with peacocks!

Chart I just got is this one ... http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/ ... 35517&ww=1

It has a riddle in it, which I just solved so am quite pleased with myself.

Well done Mags! Nice to hear someone wins these prizes!!

And in the Post today came............. My Pako Organiser from LISA!!

Thanks Lisa!! I'll be using that this evening!!

Thanks meg, it's a lovely chart I hope you enjoy doing that one.

I got two Bucilla felt kits from E-bay. They are tree ornaments for Christmas. I thought that I'd do them as stocking fillers for the grown-ups in the family. They are lovely.
