My postie delivered my Pako thread organiser this morning, should make my HAED go much smoother

from Kell, 2 black and white charts! One flies the other eats! A Panda and a Puffin! I'll leave you to guess which does what!!
Thanks Kell.

PLUS a beautiful bouquet of flowers for ME!! from my Bestest Buddy in the UK!

Bonus!

Had a bit of a book splurge. All cheapie cheap from eBay:

Christmas motifs
General cards
D Kooler's 555 motifs for Young at Heart
Nursery Rhymes in Cross Stitch
American Folk Motifs

ALL for under £15 total! Am well happy ....

What a bargain, Slinky!

Today I received The Castle chart from Coffee-Freak. I'm so pleased to have this in my stash to look forward to starting in the dim and distant future when I've finished my dragon, unicorn and angel.

Thank you, C-F.

glad you finally got it!

i got my issue of the US version of the cross stitcher..there is such a cute trick or treat design.I have to tell myself.."don't start anything..don't start anything"

Not directly stitchy but definitely stash-related -- the cheque for the re-written website

Yay, congrats Mabel! I'm so pleased for you.

Got my first subscriber issue of cross stitcher today, which the dog 'kindly' tried to drag out of the letterbox for me fortunately I got there just in time to rescue it.

Got my issue of CrossStitcher Love the Margaret Sherry sketchbook design, I'm going to be saving that for when my brother completes his PhD (should be about 2011...I must remember where I file it...)

My package arrived from 1-2-3 Stitch this morning:

- A white afghan (with 35 squares to stitch!)
- 2 packs of perforated paper (one antique brown, the other white) because I've never tried it before!
- 2 unstitched finished bookmarks (one white, one cream)
- A bunch of variegated DMC flosses

Am well chuffed because even with P&P the whole thing only came to about $45 which is, what, about £25 or something? I thought it an absolute steal, even if I did have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive!

All I got on Friday was a bill, no mail here in Aus on Saturdays,
which is hard to get used to - NZ has Saturday delivery which is so useful when one is running late with a birthday greeting.

Hope you enjoy your new Ott Light Linda, I believe they are really great to use.

Yeah! Received the butterfly charts from Mabel! Thanks so much!

a wooden wheelbarrow garden picture cross stitch kit, a pattern of a watering can in a garden setting pattern and some aida fabric, pink and steel grey

I am waiting for a kit - oriental orchids I got from America, and the "beware of the cat" kit from UK. Damn this distance rubbish..I want them all NOW

hmmm, I am sure there was something else. I shall have to double check my list. If not, it will be time to purchase something..a mailbox without new stash is just a waste of a mail box.

and on a better note, back at the beg of Juky the kids pulled the freezer door offf, we phoned iceland to report it (got extra cover on it), comet comes out and orders parts, but the people who made the it had gone bust, they continued in getting parts for the freezer. and finally today i get a voucher to go and buy a new fridge/freezer

Oh, yes! Mags's ATC has just arrived, along with a beautiful card with a stitched letter A, and a parfumed sachet.
Thank you, Mags!

He brought me Sarah's Stitchers' Friendship exchange -- the bright colours are even more cheerful in real life, and I the buttons, thank you Sarah!

Before I left on my vacation I got my Lady of Shalott pattern that I had been waiting (not so patiently) for. I now have 6 or 7 HAED/Mystic Stitch patterns that I want to be working on RIGHT THIS MINUTE, but I really think I should finish some of the stuff I've already got started.

Not the most exciting thing but I liked it the same, my subscribers copy of WOXS. Keeps me quiet for a while ...

Woo, WOXS
