I got a bead box and 5 threads I need to finish through a mothers eyes today. Odd thing is...I ordered seven of them and the print out has two circled with a + next to them, has charged me for them and the payment details list the order as completed :S

Email the company and ask them about it. Most are really good about keeping their customers happy.

I received a bunch of patterns from minij, they are gorgeous!

Received a big envelope full of charts from a stitching friend in Abu Dhabi. Some Bent Creek, Lizzie Kate and Little House Needleworks, and some magazine charts as well.
Can't wait to get stitiching

Since Anchor is discontinuing their Marlitt threads, I thought I should stack up before they are all gone. I ordered a set (or as much as I can get, since some of the colors were already sold out), and here it is, 74 of them

Is Marlitt Anchors rayon range? Lots of lovely colors there

I received some floss samples from Maggie some Anchor black so I can test the coverage and some glow in the dark DMC for my let it bee!

Oooh goodie.. I figured you would get it soon. Happy Birthday by the way.

I haven't used the Glow in the Dark yet. Feels sort of like rayon floss but I have no idea how it behaves. I bought it for a bookmark design I have from AAN. Its with black fabric and has different shaped eyes. Thought I would use glow in the dark thread for some of the eyes.. and well, it just sort of looks like fun. I was also going to use it for the X-Ray in my Scrub A Dub Dub.. but then I changed the X-Ray to a sonogram and didn't really need it to glow. Have fun playing around with it

I received my order from Cross Stitch Corner. I decided that I wanted to stitch "Jewels of the Orient" which is the companion piece to my Mighty Samurai. However, I had trouble tracking it down at a reasonable price. It was £60 in my LNS! I've used CSC twice before, but they didn't have this kit on their website, so I emailed them. Brenda emailed me back to say that she had one that had slightly damaged packaging, which I could have for a reduced price! That's what I call service!
So for less than half price, I have it in my stash.

This thread makes me realize it's been a very long time since I ordered anything online for myself....

I got another package from 123stitch.com yesterday. I now realized that not only do I have more stash I'll ever stitch in my lifetime, but I have more than my grandkids will ever stitch in their's. But I love everything I have and I'm going to make a go at doing all of them if it kills me.

What I got is:
Summer Geisha (and the Champagne Ice and Golden Olive beads and Confetti gold braid for the project) If you click on the link you can see they added a supply list to the pattern which made it so much easier to order the beads and braid for the project. Just select what you want and it adds all selections to the cart. I wish all chart ordering were like that.


These charts:


Castle of Summer (I also bought Castle of Autumn it was the last one so they don't have an image anymore) I just need to find Castle of Winter somewhere now (and the spring one)


And this sampler that I'm going to do instead of the Wild Thing Birth Announcement for my nephew. I was having such a hard time with that one and didn't want to work on it. My nephew loves cars (he's 3 now) so I think this one will be better.

I don't think there is a castle of winter. At least Dragon Dreams home page doesn't list one.

Package arrived from my sister with a pair of Skechers Shape-ups (white and blue) and a big bag of M&Ms that are now in my freezer.

Just yesterday I received a package of beads and waiting for some more. Last week the mail brought me the needed beads to finish up my Oriental Lady ( Lesley Teare design ) but I always seem to get some excuse from finishing it.... Bad bad me!!!

I've finally succumbed to the lure of the hand-dyed fabrics. A packet arrived from Polstitches this morning containing this.


Also I couldn't resist adding a variety pack to my order so I have three other pretty fabrics to play with too.

I can't stay away from Polstitches! I've never used linen and after my successful attempts ( and conversion) with even weave I got a grab bag from polstitches



Then Just because I was ordering I decided to get a variety pack too



I'm more than a little in love with the opal! I'm going to have to find out what the name of it is and get me a bigger piece!!



Lol my name is Jacqui and I'm a stash-o-holic!!

Gorgeous fabric Ravenfaerie

My order came from Sew and So this morning a piece of ivory hardanger fabric, chocolate 25ct Lugana, Anchor perle no 5, I chose two of them to contrast with the chocolate colour fabric, they are apricot and apricot variegated,they don't show up too well in the photo, but I them, and two packs of card apertures and envelopes because I am going to make my small hardanger designs into cards.

Jacqui, that opalesacent is just scrumptious!

mmerkat, the apricot looks lovely, can i ask what shade numbers they are? I can't quite read them in the picture.
