For those of you that have used the scented flosses before, can you smell the flosses even if you frame the cross stitch behind glass?

I've not framed anything yet - only used them on small items that didn't need framing I would think, however, that you wouldn't be able to smell them behind glass.

I received my stashmas presents yesterday I had to go to a karate class last night (I'm sore today) and couldn't get up this morning so haven't had time to post pictures yet but they are beautiful, with a wonderful blue theme (I love blue!) and a fantastic stashmas card and pictures will follow tonight

All the stashmas presents have been so thoughtful and fun. Doncha just love Stashmas?

My wonderful stashmas gifts...



The lovely Trylla sent me...
- The perfect stashmas card (sit, stitch and be merry!)
- A postcard from Niagara falls, where she grew up and where I would love to visit
- A lovely stained glass window keyring, I just have to think of where I can use it (possibly at work)
- A beautiful cameo-style needle minder, I have seen and admired similar designs in the past but always thought they were a bit indulgent to buy for myself
- A pack of size 26 needles
- Some hand-dyed 16 count aida in "mystic"
- Gentle art sampler threads in Morning Glory, Blue Jay and Midnight
- Rainbow Gallery Hi-lights threads in white and blue

All in all, I'm thrilled to bits and can't wait to think of something I want to do in those beautiful shades of blue! Thank you so much Trylla, it's absolutely wonderful!

Great stashmas pressies everyone! I'm hoping mine will be waiting for me when I arrive back home on the 15th!

I see a definite blue theme there, KK ! Lovely stash

Lovely stash

I'm guessing your hint list said I love anything blue ..... beautiful stash! Enjoy your new stitching!

I'm so very glad you like it all. I had so much fun picking out just the right shades to go together. Enjoy!!

I got my gift from Lisa yesterday. I don't know where it had been but it said redeliver on it along with aload of other parcels that I had been waiting for.

I got some lovely threads will post a picture tonight.

Here is a photo of my Stashmas gift. I got it from someone from Australia but I couldn't make out who. Sorry, dear Sender, would you reveal yourself?



Some DMC thread, among them a variegated one which doesn't show in the photo, bobbins, thread winder, floss organiser, a bead-nabber - all very useful and I didn't have any of them so really happy. The two Christmasy frames will make perfect gifts, too.

Thank you so much!
