fantastic news, TB and Joe!

great news TB!

I got my delivery from Tandem Cottage today, but already have two WIP's so may have to wait to get started using it. Then again.....

Finally got my bobbin rings and the fat quarter of 18ct aida that I was waiting for.

My only issue now is that I have enough stash to potentially start yet another project My new dolphin project is already calling out to me, even though I'm only about 15-20% thru the Evening Star train

Y'know, if that's a problem, there's always people around here willing to help you out...

Have fun with the cake decorating class! I took 2 classes when I was in 6th grade, and my mom and I have been doing cakes since. In fact, we did the wedding cake when I got married.

a second cake drum board thingy, right size this time, and remebered to order the delivery type box, to cart the cake around in

I got loads of goodies this morning!

The peacock chart from Mabel (many thanks, it's gorge, can't wait to start!), my issue of Cross Stitcher and a book of Victorian posies and fans (someone on here was talking about it and I just had to have it!).

Also, I have bought a plain white cushion cover on to which I'm going to sew the Chinese phoenix, which is nearly done!

Glad it arrived safely, Gemma, enjoy!

I got 5 DMC floche threads (the ones Carrie uses for overdyeing) from Hedgehog Handworks, and they included a complementary retractable tape measure -- which I thought was a lovely gesture with such a small order!

The postman delivered a present from Rosemary for my grandaughter Rebecca. It included several pieces of material in different colours, skiens of thread and some needles. She is one very happy little girl. Thanks again Rosemary for your very thoughtful gift.

Oh wasn't that lovely Dollystitcher.


Well I got some lovely presents today and some more cards for TOF's plus a rear windscreen wiper for my car.

Yes and no -- I'd ordered a pendant from Framecraft to put my silk gauze rose in, and that arrived, but the silvery stuff on it was all damaged so I've contacted them about that.

But there was also a leaflet with quick and rather pretty stained glass designs for Christmas cards, and some more Carrie's silks from Holland

me thinks framecraft have something with you mabel weren't your bookends from them??

i got some replacement cake bags. i ordered gold, they sent silver, i became bridezilla they said they would send me some gold out, asked if they want me to return the silver, no reply, the gold arrived this morning, sent them a message saying ive recieved the gold and asked again if they want me to return the silver, but still no response, but they are Australian so they are tucked up in bed so i'll wait for a bit, and ask them again, and if they dont reply, then ill keep them

I finally got my other two pieces of dyed fabric from an ebay seller. As an apology for the late mailing the guy gave me a bigger cut of one of the fabrics. Oh the possibilities.

I got a package in the mail from Lisa it was the charts that she had up for trade. I will be sending off her repayment soon. The charts are very cute.

Lisa thanks so much for the peacock chart I will be forwarding it to my sister soon also.

I usually don't get mail, but this time I got some paperwork to fill out for my Germany work-study trip. It's only 2 months away!! I'll make sure I bring enough to do for the year.

nothing today but tracking i see something is coming..computer parts..to fix my horrible pc..alienware..expensive piece of crap. should be great..i got a lemon i think..lol
