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. Might get a few of the ones with smaller drawers too. They are just so convenient.

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. . . . . . . . "

I got an email saying my Sparklies order is ready for shipping, so I'm lying in wait for the postie every day now

The same day as my order said ready to ship it was updated to shipped later in the evening, and it arrived the very next day.
Not trying to get your hopes up or anything

Here's what the postie has just brought me - got to love Sew and So and their speedy delivery!:

Bet you can't guess who's designs are next on my to do list.......!

hmm, looks familiar

My Sparklies order is still marked "ready to ship"

nice stash!!!

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 ) :

Oh, Sunflowers looks amazing, such a lovely cheery color

I love sunflowers!! Can't wait to see what you have planned for these!

I can't wait to see what ya'll are going to be stitching (Hardangers for all???) with those most lovely fabrics and threads. The colors are just beautiful. Stash gathering is so much fun.

Gorgeous threads Kell!

Yum! gorgeous threads!

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!



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

Received some ThreadworX threads from Picture This Plus ^_^

Lovely lovely lovely stash. Can't wait to see what ya'll do with your new possessions.

Love those books Wandatoo--very nice!!!

And both you and Theresay have bought some very beautiful threads!!!

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.




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..........
