He has indeed! One parcel from Stitch Direct, containing the mount/frame for Mum's hedgehog, some fierce-looking precision scissors and Mary Hickmott's Easing Into Hardanger, which looks very interesting:

and one parcel from Sew and So (they are SO quick :shock: :applesauce: ) containing a fat quarter each of burgundy, dark green and black 18ct aida for my Christmas cards, and a fat quarter of opalescent 28ct Lugana which was just to treat myself after the long hard work on that website I re-wrote :-). The lovely pearly flecks don't show up well in the picture but it's gorgeous in real life!

It's not stash, but the mail man brought my blinds yesterday. My parents ordered me some blinds for my craft room window for my birthday. Right now I've got a sheet hanging up in front of the window. I think my dad is going to go over and put them up today.

Nothing stitching wise, just an appointment to for the doctor from the insurance company of the guy that hit me (my car).

my vodafone bill, they had charged me for the text messages i sent. i sent 35, and my package has 1000 texts, so i phoned them up, and for some reason the system lost my texts part of the package, so they refunded the texts and added a £10 good will jesture :dance: which nearly halved my bill :dance:

A big piece of "Everglade" aida fabric from silkweavers. I want to use this fabric for the seven dwarves kit I recently got, instead of the plain white fabric that came in the kit.

My postie has been really kind to me today, :dance: first I got my lovely mitten from Slinky, I also had some material from Sew it All, 20ct aida, 20ct evenweave and 22ct hardhanger, as it is not labelled I will have to sort it out with my magnifyer and label it :roll:
Not stitchy but I also got my volunteers pack from the special olympics with all the details and a ticket to the opening ceremony :dance:

My Tanto organizer has arrived from The Happy Stitcher in the UK, they were cheaper than the Tanto company and they well undercharged me for the postage. I will definitely buy from them again as they were extremely helpful.
