I got the 11" square qsnap I bought to mix with my 8" ones and an 8x11 qsnap cover yesterday. Haven't tried it yet, but I don't think the cover will hold the extra material.

From Yarn Tree? I roll up my extra fabric and am amazed how much extra fabric they hold.

No, 123 stitch. I'm wondering if they might be the same designer though. Yarn Tree lists it as Amy's Cross Stitch and 123 lists it as Amy's Sewing and Cross Stitch. I haven't had time to try it out yet, so fingers crossed. The fabric could have been a little prettier.

Some more white hardanger fabric to stitch more of the claddaghs for my friend's wedding invitations and a bunch of Six Strand Sweets flosses for myself. And a gift for my advent exchange partner on another stitchy forum. I'm sorely tempted to kep it for myself, so I hope she likes it!

EL-110 - Soulmates
KK - Naptime Dragon
KK - Daisy Dragon
KK - Little Snap Dragon
Mystic Stitch, Inc. - Aurelia
Mystic Stitch, Inc. - Queen of Spades

I am over the moon right now- just recieved my goodies from Sewandso!

I was fortunate to have won a £25 voucher for a review I submitted, so rather than being sensible and ordering more threads required for my Talyn project I thought let's be a tinker and ordered myself a small plastic snap frame (looks like a Q snap frame) and a couple of patterns I have been drooling over for a while- Black and White Kitten and Chikadee by Heritage. Feels right considering my winning review was based on a Heritage pattern of Tabby Kitten!

Just tried out my plastic frame- how the heck did I ever manage without it? My wooden hoops are going into storage

Got my package from JoAnn's with the fabric for two of my HAED projects. I got them on sale at $5 a piece!

And an Nintendo 64 with games from my sister from Joey. She was going to sale it but decided to send it to him instead she he's helpful when I got sick, for being a good teenager despite his raising, and for an apology (he doesn't know this part) for calling me insane for taking him in.

[rcperryls]

What fun. I love sales. and getting the fabric for two projects at such a good price. Yay!
and I'm so glad that your sister sent the Nintendo for Joey. It will keep him occupied and also be a reward for being helpful. I hope your day of striking was a good one and that you enjoyed treating yourself to a day for you.

I'll second everything that Carole said! Sounds like you kept your postal carrier busy

[talenaya]

Sounds like you kept your postal carrier busy

Yep we do. Though right now I have two packages that I was suppose to get shipped on Friday but I'm going to ship out before I leave town. One is some stitching supplies to a friend that moved home to the middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma and the other is some school stuff for my niece. I found some pencils that are called Mood Pencils. The really change colors with your mood.

just off to the sorting office to get my parcel (missed it yesterday as was at work) its a helping hand attachment for my stand, holds the frame in a different way so the clamp doesn't touch the material and I can scroll while the frame is attached to the stand......
but waiting for a few nice things.....
30 DMC flosses from ebay
a lovely chart of robins with winter scene behind. it's my next large project! couldn't resist lol
the way of the cross chart booklet.....

Oh, I'd love a bread maker, Mauveme!! My problem is the thought of using yeast, for some unknown reason, scares me half to death!! Happy baking!!
