I received the Cherry Blossom pattern yesterday after I got back from the races. I can hardly wait to find the right fabric to start it on. I'm going shopping or that tomorrow.

Thank you so much ad the card was so LOVELY!!

Still waiting for a parcel from Hedgehog Handworks in America, sent on the 13th -- and when I try to track it with USPS, the only thing it says is that "USPS have been electronically notified to expect your package for mailing" Royal Mail says it hasn't come through Customs into this country yet -- so where is it????

You are very welcome. Took a while tho!! Mabel, take heart re HH package. Perhaps UK/US posties are taking a prolonged teabreak!

Well they didn't bring it for me..but my two kitties got some cat toys in the mail from my mom yesterday..she even addressed the envelope to Coco and Molly from Grandma! It was their first birthday and she didn't want them to feel left out.

Opened up my mailbox to see 3 packages, all full of stash!!! The first one was from Flo, with the AOY kit (thank you so much! yes I still like it very much ), the second was from a secret pal exchange I did on the EMS forum, full of so many goodies I can't even name them all, and the third was from cc in return for my craftmates - fabrics, silks and overdyeds

52 of my 68 threads ordered for my HAED the other colours will be in stock by the end of the week, very happy now and can't wait to start stitching but not finished my gridding yet.

Mind you if I came away from the internet I'd get it done quicker.

I was very pleased to get my LoRan magnet board today, along with an updated supply of needles. I'll definitely get great use out of both things!

Got the first of the two Afghans for the twins. Actually ordered them three weeks ago but the first company let me down. Re ordered from Willow Fabrics on Monday and it came yesterday. Chrissie has decided she would like the Margaret Sherry alphabet which was serialised in Crosstitcher. I will post in SAL when I get started.

Chrissie goes for her 20 week scan today, so we are hoping to find out what gender they are.

I got three parcels today!!

more coloued aida, a street scene kit and my bird patterns. I am very happy

Here’s my latest stash from Casacenina :


I’ve ordered three of the five designs for CCN “Winter Wonderland” (the other two are still to be released), some pink linen fabric (I’ll use the one in the middle, Permin Cherub Pink, for this project), Casey Buonaugurio’s Carrot Cake Sampler plus a Carrot button to complete it (I already have the DMC threads) and Bone Aida fabric. I’m going to start the Winter Wonderland soon, while the Carrot Cake sampler will have to wait until I’ve finished the Chocolate Cake sampler.
