Your wedding sampler is stunning! You did a fantastic job! And yep, you are in there ^_^ Prettiest picture on the letters page too

Just received my order from Mystic Stitch. Here are few of the charts I ordered:







My fingers are just itching to stitch them

Oooooooooooooh they're soooooo beautiful!!!!

Very nice charts--which one is going to be the first?

It'll be a while before I start any of these (I swore I won't start another project until I finished the current one, otherwise I'll never finish any of them!), but I think Fairy Hallow (the first pic) will be the first

Awe thanks Angel, that's really sweet of you to say

Well it's true! I love that design, I always have and I love how you've adapted it to suit them. If I didn't know better I'd have said I thought that's how it was meant to look, you did that good a job.

I forgot how pretty Mystic Stitch design can be! I can't wait to see each on in the SAL section

Those Mystic Stitch charts are lovely. I especially love the last one

My ticket came for the Sewing for pleasure/Hobbycrafts show so I'll be off to the NEC in a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to a good browse. Must remember it's a long walk back to my car though

Today was a very happy mail day for me! Not only did I get Ali-cat's fantastic biscornu,



(Thank you Ali, I love the maple leaves! My DH commented how the colours you chose are almost like a life cycle of a maple tree. Yellow in spring, changing to green, then red in the fall, and finally dried out and mottled yellow/brown. Perfect colour choices!! I love the back too.)

and a silk perle from Mabel


(I'm going through my charts deciding what to use it on, I love the colour)

I also received my charts from minij(but I can't take pics of those)!! Thank you all very, very much!

Happy, happy mail day to me.

How wonderful! And the color of that silk perle looks great!

I love it!

Three bead tins !

I'd been getting rather a lot of beads lately, and my storage system of lots of little plastic seal bags in a box wasn't working anymore. Then I found on eBay some tins with 16 little round pots with a see-through lid -- I ordered three (keep me going for a bit) and tried one out for size , it's perfect! I'll write the bead numbers on the lids.

Here's a pic of one of the tins:

Oh, I love the tins!! I've no beads (not from lack of trying - but all my local shops have stopped stocking them! ) but I really want that storage system for all my cooking spices!!

Ooooh I want one!

Fabulous biscornu again Ali! You choose some of the loveliest designs.


Lovely stash everyone!
Those tins are wonderful Mabel!

My postman neglects me horribly - such a sad little mailbox it is.
ah well the thaw in the temperature should help with such things

mabel - I've seen variations on those tins with magnets in them so you can stick them to your fridge (for spices) or what have you. very nifty. Love organizational goodies!

Cross Stitcher Issue 237 finally arrived yesterday and suprisingly my mirror is intact!
