Looking forward to seeing what masterpieces that fabric will contain!

Just try shifting me out!
I love it here and I have missed making marmalade.
Even going to Spain the Seville oranges weren't available! They were all exported... I do hope that the B'exit doesn't stop the supply chain!

Happy marmalade-making, Wendy!

I've got some good pictures of Christmas presents coming, when the light is good enough to photograph them - oh boy oh boy I've been spoilt

Youngest gave me a beautiful set of kitchen knives which I haven't photographed as they are a different sort of stash but here are my stitch-related pressies:

Angela Bishop's book on embroidering people (signed by Angela)


An Inspiration Pack from Paint-Box Threads, which has their hand-dyed cotton threads, hand-dyed fabrics, and some speciality threads/ribbons


A selection of goodies from Jenny Adin-Christie's site, including a looped gold and silver wire which I hadn't seen before, some useful pliers for pulling needles through goldwork, a transfer pen and three silks for couching metal threads. There was also a very very thick felt (about 1cm) for padding but it's not in the pic

What thoughtful gifts, you lucky lady!!

Looks like Santa was very good to you so I'm guessing you were most definitely not on his "naughty" list

Carole

Nope, I'd think Mabel was on the "super good" list! What wonderful presents!

Now you are set for heaps more beautiful embroideries to come.

Oooh what lovely goodies Mabel, I can't wait to see what you decide to stitch with those lovely fabrics and threads, and that book looks most interesting.

You must have been a very good girl indeed.
