Thanks Victoria. I am trying to not overfill them because its clear that they aren't real sturdy.
It will handle a cat sleeping on the top though so I am okay. :lol: :lol: Might get a few of the ones with smaller drawers too. They are just so convenient.

:shock: Wow that Gecko is so very bright!!!!!! Really like the Ocean Depths one that is very pretty.

Ravenfaerie: that green one is so pretty would make a great wall hanging with some flowers on it.

rc: I love my rubber maid drawers and have numerous sizes in my craftroom they are so great!!!!!

Oh, dear. This is not a good thread for me to be on. I see all the lovely pictures of the goodies people have got, and I find myself saying:
"I want one of those, and one of those, and two of these. . . . . . . . "

Not trying to get your hopes up or anything :)

:dance: :dance: :dance: Although the order is STIL marked "ready to ship", it actually arrived in today's post!

I present to you 25ct Lugana in the shades Ink (to be used with a silver grey Caron thread), Ocean Depths (probably to be used with Caron Abalone) and Sunflowers (was going to use Caron Daffodils but that's too bright -- will have to get a new colour at the K & S Show :-)) :

This was partly the postman and partly me . . .

First, the two books I ordered arrived yesterday: French designer Isabelle Vautier, who designs such beautiful hearts!

Image

And then I visited the local Michaels to take advantage of the 20% off sale . . . :D

The postman brought me 2 parcels today. The New York kit that I have craved for a while, and a chart for The Story of The Rainbow Bridge. I've had the Rainbow Bridge one in mind for a while, and decided to go for it as I recently lost one of my dogs.


Image

These arrived after a visit to my LNS for 1 skein of DMC and a pack of red beads, when I actually came back with all this........

I think I might have a button fetish..........
