Today I recieved my biscornu from Ali, the first I've ever had. :D
It is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! It smells beautiful as well. Hubby was very taken with it, although confused as to what it does! :lol:

Ali, the minute I saw it, I burst out laughing! @rotfl: It is perfect in every way, my favourite colour as well.
I ADORE it!!
Thank you SOOO much.
:wub: :hug: :wub:

I will post pictures tomorrow as they are coming out with a yellowy tinge tonight and I want to show the true beauty of it.

Great biscornus, Aly! :applesauce: :applesauce:

I received my winning from Xandras blog givaway, a lovely birdie kit. Luckily it is a bit wintery otherwise I would start it at once. But I have so many other things to finish first. Will be a great Christmas present for someone :wink:

Thank you so much, Xandras! :wub: :hug:

I received three free threads from Spain (fast shipping) I picked the colours I had used on Dollystitcher's biscornu as I love these pinks. The colours are vibrant and I am looking forward to the next project with them. Also received the beads I ordered on ebay for Sweetheart Tree's St. Patrick scissor fob and biscornu. Sweet day.

What a great excuse to make even more!! You could do a certain theme or something. You have to feed this addiction you know. :lol:
Plus, you can't have Mark having to look at that bookcase and feeling something's missing. It just wouldn't be fair to him now would it. :lol:

Managed to get some pictures of the biscornu this morning, but they are taken with my phone, so not the best of shots I'm afraid.

My fave colour, isn't it gorgeous!

Image
Sparklies and a pretty button!

How this makes Ali think of me I can't imagine! :choc: But I really like it! It feels kinda 'me' somehow. :lol: I just have this urge to eat that button though. :oops:

Thank you Ali, I :wub: LOVE :wub: it!

It's one biscornu Mabel, and I love both sides equally, so it's going to be constantly getting turned. :lol:

Ali, tell Mark that he chose the perfect button! But if by any chance it gets nibbled ~ he is totally responsible for choosing something so delicious looking. @rotfl:

All the biscornus that have been posted are just lovely, but I do love the last one if only because one of the buttons looks like chocolate :)

Belated posting of the pretty biscornu I received at Christmas during the exchange from benceagi. Thank you so much. I use it every day.
