Good job you decide to phone them Mabel.
So we can expect pictures soon then?

wohoo party time my postie delivered two of my missing parcels the thread from sew and so and my chart from kute kitty the others will turn up soon

Good news CC!

so pleased as i really want to stitch these once my biscornu is finished.

Yet more charts from eBay. And a postcard from my nanna and grandad, currently on holiday in Scarborough.

mini gold dragees
and 24 little bottles of bubbles for the wedding

getting all exciting now

Had a few nice bits in the last few days, including my car insurance renewal reminder (well, it was nice when I checked online and found out how much less I could spend elsewhere!), some lovely Anchor and DMC threads from hada, and some silks from eBay. Which might in fact be rayons, I'm not sure...but they weren't expensive so I don't mind, they're still shiny and fun

Today I got a whole box from Joann's (one of the two online orders placed about a week ago) with Aida, evenweave, neon bookmarks, lace bookmarks, Thread Heaven, 2 Q-Snaps, a butterfly needlepoint glasses case, and a tote bag that I plan on being my stitching tote!

Oh wow - today is stash galore!! Arrived home to discover air mail in my box from Mabel - two patterns, thank you!!!

Then, got package 2 of 2 from my stash spree last week arriving from The Silver Needle, with 2 Needlework Garden accessory kits, a pretty beaded needle threader, and a floss strand seperator (the kitty design of course!), along with a few other less exciting but equally necessary essentials

Definitely a fun way to chase away the rainy day blues here!!

Glad they arrived safely!

I got Serinde and Rose's cards for TOF's and also Rose's present to me for my 10,000th post!!

the most beautiful keyring for Paul for Fathers Day

just gotta find the will power not to give it him now

I really should be banned from ebay ....

Today I got some back issues of Cross Stitcher and the threads and aida for the friendship exchange.

I received a small parcel from Sew and so that I ordered: two pieces of 32 count Jobelan and two daylight bulbs but I have no luck: the bulbs - that you cannot buy here - do not fit my lamp . I did not dare to order a lamp because of the different plugs (and I cannot afford it anyway), but I thought I could buy some bulbs to use in my old lamp.

Oh that's a shame Agi. Can we do anything to help about sizes/fittings ?

Oh Agi that is annoying. I hope you can find a way to make them work for you. Can you return the bulbs and get the proper size.

Let us know the bulbs that you need as in size of fitting and whether it is screw or bayonet fiiting.

Rosemary

We have screw fitting in most of our lamps, and the bulbs are bayonett - but I will take a look around tomorrow if I can find a lamp with bayonett fittings (hubby says it is possible) - something cheap, hopefully. In Ikea or Obi or a similar place. If not, I may accept your offer and ask for help, thank you very much.

I recieved a wonderful present from Charmagne

She sent me a beautiful beaded bookmark. Green metallic DMC and 2 varigated threads Anchor MC1345 and MC1335. They are great. Love the colors and it is going to be so fun to find something and work with them. Thank you Charmagne!!!!

You're very welcome, Rose!

We finally have a broadband connection...I'll try uploading photos a little later...just want to check some posts first...
