I got my new Fitflop boots They are sooo cumfy

Got two things from ebay. A bookmark using the dmc colour variations which i hope to do for a friends birthday next week. And another bookmark on plastic canvas of a giraffe for my son for Christmas. Have never done plastic canvas but quite liked the idea after seeing one done on here. I think it was Daz who did one of Winnie the Pooh.

Ecru, and 3865 winter white skeins needed for one of my projects
(And a bluetooth connector so that I can put some MP3's on to my new camera phone... and to upload some stitchy pics to this site )

60 skeins of DMC that I got from ebay. Only needed about 28 to finish kitting up my next project, but thought would fill in some gaps in my thread collection.

Slinky -those french books look lovely, think I may just add them to my wish list

It was an Eeyore bookmark for my step-daughter ... and it's STILL not finished

However, I really liked working with the plastic, so got myself a couple of A4 sheets of it from Hobbycraft, and I intend to make some family Xmas cards with removable tree decorations on the front

oohhh im a happy bunny today!!

i got the rubber stamp

my wedding dress

and a cheque from Avon, has i made an order, paid for it, as the money was due into avon when i was on holiday, come back off holiday to find the rep has quit and not gave me my goods or money back.

and ive sold some stuff on ebay and managed to raise enought money so my flowers only cost me £13 (was £66 altogether, but only £13 has left the bank for them)

im very happy

Yay!
Really pleased for you Lisa!
Have some chocolate to celebrate!!

i am tb, paul bought me a box of minature heores the other day, only like 2 out of them thou (twirl and eclairs) but its the last day of choc before dieting to lose some boobage so i can get in the dress!!!

Last day of choc?????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Is horrified at the thought*
Can't you just use some large safety pins to allow for chocolate enrichment (widening) issues?

dont worry tb ill make for it on the wedding day. money i saved on the weddign dress (only cost me £40 off ebay, still has the tags attached) is going towards a 5ft choc fountain

What a great bargain! (Wedding dress).
As to the chocolate fountain, I guess that just about, almost makes up for lack of choccy until the big day ... sort of ...

new everything!
hand dyed fabby, overdyed floss, silk floss, and a special christmas pattern.
I'm quite happy now

A box of 28 glissengloss.

I recieved my Friendship Exchange gift. Not sure of the user name of who sent to me but it is a pretty little pillow and some sweets. The fabric is off-white and thread it a pretty maroon.

Rose, you received yours from Summernights in Spain

When I came home from Austria, the bobbins from Mabel were waiting for me in my post box, and she also sent me a magazine full of lovely Christmas charts. Thank you, Mabel, you are so sweet!


I also got the friendship exchange from Murmured. Thank you!
