My postie has just delivered a lovely card and some aida and gorgeous threads from Midge, thank you so much Helen. Sorry i can't post a picture at the moment as we have got the builders in doing our kitchen, the place is such a mess and I can't get to my camera

Lovely threads TB

[Mabel Figworthy]

Oh, the postie was good to me today!! I received, totally unexpectedly, 16ct white and 18ct cream aida from Xandras!! I have never used 16ct before and know exactly what I'm going to use it for – and can't wait to try it!!

The 18ct couldn't be better for a chart I have … so I'm actually starting to wonder if she has bugged our house as both pieces are so perfect!! Thank you so much!!

[XandraS]

Glad you could find a use for them Ali I don't really use aida anymore, apart from really small projects, so it's great that they have found a good home

Yesterday I received my subscription gift from CSC Mag - a lovely woodden box with a perspex lid and a bunch of threads inside. It's the same box I bought for myself a little while ago with Xmas money, but with different coloured threads this time (they include the ones you would need ot stitch the design that comes with the box and it's a different design this time). I'm not comlpaninig - it just means I have two lovely boxes and will now be dreaming up a design to put in the lid of the 2nd one too. Of course, I haven't finished stitching the design for the first one yet - LOL!

I got some wonderful patterns from Kell in the mail yesterday. Made my day, to be honest.

[kell]

I'm so pleased you like them.

[DraconicWench]

I really did. Thank you.

I'm trying to figure out what color Daniel's airplane will look best on.

I just received three gorgeous threads, the most lovely pale lilac coloured aida and an absolutely beautiful thank you card from mags, for her biscornu. Thank you so much!! I really didn't expect anything and it was such a wonderful surprise – it also amused Mark to hear all the “ooh's” and “aah's” coming from the kitchen as I opened it!!

[mags]

Gosh that was quick. Glad you like them

[ali-cat]

I LOVE them!!

After posting my mail carrier walked in and said "No mail for the shop...but YOU have a little package here". I haven't ordered anything. What could it be?

A wonderful gift from Melissa!! Thank you so much! Its funny you sent Caron threads, I was just looking over some online yesterday and thought I'll have to a wait a bit to order those!

It was just a wonderful surprise!! I'll post pics tomorrow

I+ ordered some projects for my niece (she is 3 months). Her room has a minnie/mickey theme so I got a bunch of small Disney patterns

Mickey
