WOW! I wonder if it'd be possible to do a Mirabilia totally in beads -- like the Ink Circles design that was done entirely that way: weighted a ton, but spectacular.

I know it is not the postman but I could not find the shopping thread. Got these at my LNS yesterday when my stitching group met there.

Great stash, Rose! Those fabrics look lovely. Do you already have the projects in mind for these. And I see you got the new DMC thread pack also.

Now that I have discovered how much I enjoy stitching the Hardanger designs I decided that the cards I send for bdays, etc should be stitched so ordered cards from 123Stitch and Nordic Needle, which arrived last week.

(I always go overboard as you can tell. Couldn't decide between sizes and colors so got a few different ones and a variety pack).
The "Elegant Greetings was part of the variety pack, which was on sale. The designs are very pretty and I will probably try them, but the directions don't come close to Mabel's and though this is supposed to be good for beginners, there is no way I would even think I could stitch any of these if I didn't know many of the stitches already because of our current SOW SAL. Once again, thank you so much, Mabel!

Great stash additions, Carole and Rose!

I'm waiting for the postman this week again, ordered some fabric and the new DMC thread pack from 123 Stitch.

Yes I could not resist the new color pack. The plum purple and the teal blue are just to die for. Well since I was buying the threads I had to make.it worth the transaction so when I saw the fabric those colors just screamed buy us buy us!!!!!!!!!!

The PTB is going into a holiday exchange for our group along with a chart and possibly some fabric.

My 123 Stitch order has arrived!

The new DMC colors are really pretty! And your Waterlilies are beautiful! I haven't ventured into the silks yet. I think I'm afraid I will want to toss everything else away. Do you have special plans for these and for your fabric?

Carole

Very nice!!!!!! Which one of the new colors do you like best?

My Stashmas gift arrived:


Also a bunch of fabric I was able to buy from Ladymyste65:

Carole, the silks are for the Dressmaker's Daughter Mirabilia chart Fccs sent me, as is the fabric. Two pieces of the fabric as my mom loved the chart so much she wants to stitch it with me.

Rose, so hard to pick one! They're all so bright! I really like the blues though.

That's some very nice stash there, Victoria!

Fabulous stash Rose, Carole and Laura- love those threads.

My die cut aperture cards arrived along with the square envelopes for the larger ones.plus WOXS #208 with an interview with a friend on my other forum about their stitching fund raiser for their local Wildlife Trust.

check out the quantity!
I also got 6 gold needles size 28, cant wait to try them!

Ought to keep you in needles for a very very very long time! Wherever did you get a batch of needles like that? Did I miss something?

1000 needles for $70

My Mum has kindly bought me another couple of cross stitches for my Christmas. They both arrived on Monday and are now hiding until the big day! I've chosen 'Three Little Maids' by Valerie Pfeiffer:



And a bigger more complicated 'Mrs Tiggywinkle Sampler' which will probably take me years to complete

What a lot of lovely new stash everyone! I only got some audiobooks, and I've ordered fabric and Threadworx threads from Holand but won't get them until we go over there for New Year's Eve as I had them sent to my mother. *tries to be patient*

I don't check my mailbox every day and since I hadn't checked it since Saturday, I thought I better today (before tomorrow's forecast snow). I am sooooo glad I did because I had a surprise: a chart and beautiful fabric and fibers from LadyS!!!



I know Halloween is past, but this is going to Louisiana with me next week.

Lovely stash everyone. The postman sure has been busy.

We are all doing our part to keep the postal services in business. . It's our civic duty, right?
