I had a lovely surprise from Mayne yesterday, a card with a lovely magnet in. anchor varigated threads, really pretty and a couple of bookmarks. Thank you so much

This morning (at 8.15am when I was asleep!) the postie woke me up to deliver yet another peacock chart and my free MAdeira goodies from subsribing to WOXS.

i got 3000 dried petals for the wedding tables, i will tkae her word that there are 3000, some are crumpled up, but tis ok, im gonna mix it up with a few diamantes

I got the Poppy pattern that Kell had up for grabs. Now to find just the right fabric and figure out how to make the lattering show up nice and dark when I do it. But I need to work on my angel a bit more first.

Thanks Kell I really think it is going to work well for me.

That is very inpressive. We need more people like that.

This is not the language of cross stitchers surely it should read I MUST ADD IT.

Not today, but last week my CrossStitcher mag arrived just before I had to leave for a hospital appt in London. Great reading for the train journey.

Today i got a cross stitch kit.....and am expecting another one tomorrow just need somewhere to hide them from hubby....the one i got today is called Centaurium and tomorrows is a daisy

Just one or two bits and pieces from Tandem Cottage - I sent off for some crochet cotton for mum and HAD to add a few bits to make a decent order up. A fat quarter of white aida, three coloured pieces of aida, some felt and a few DMC floss.

My parcel didn't arrive, I got so excited leaving work thinking it would be hear, but we seem to have a parttime postman. If there is a "d" in the day he may or maynot come.

Never mind I'll have the same anticipation again tomorrow

Well I took myself on a bit of a stash spree at Michael's today, so that doesn't really count because I carried it home myself....but when I got back, the evenweave I ordered from eBay was waiting for me in my mailbox!! Now I am only missing one color for my grandma's present I think I'll probably start it without that last color...I'm sure there's plenty I can do without it (not that I don't have ANYTHING else to keep me busy!)

lol just kidding, I don't even know what I ordered....it's linen, not evenweave...my first venture off aida...

Yesterday I got the thread needed to finish off the phoenix and the carousel horse patterns from CF. Big thanks, they're so beautiful! I even dreamt about carousels last night!
