I will be right over to snitch your snowmen buttons......I mean look closely at your snowmen buttons!!!!!!

what pretty stash especially those buttons! Love the owls and the snowmen ones, oh I love all of those buttons! Very cute!

Yesterday my postman brought me 31 skeins of DMC , 25 needles size 26 and 120 plastic bobbins

I got all my special threads and beads to do my water goddess by Joan Elliott and all the beads and special threads for my Mermaids of the Deep by Miribilia ...also got some beads to finish off my Christmas Angel by Joan Elliott which I should finish this month....fingers crossed!!

Some lovely stash on this thread and those two Isabelle Vautier books look brilliant, Wandatoo.

I had a nice handful of pretty Crescent Colours and GAST arrive yesterday, but I'm afraid I haven't got around to taking a photo. What I did take a photo of is my pretty buttons that arrived this morning.



They're to go with this chart that I bought a few months ago.

Both orders came from The Patchwork Rabbit which I've started to use for CC and GAST threads as her prices are great and the customer service is excellent.

Such cute buttons - I love that design, its on my list! Glad you found the Patchwork Rabbit - Karla is sooooooo quick with postage and a lovely person to deal with!

Vey cute buttons


Yesterday I finally got my ordered aida (18 count, 1meter bij 1,5 meter) and THE thread heaven. I waited for 3 or 4 weeks
But I got it (and not to expensive )

And I will get kreinik color032 #4 today or NeXT week

Adorable buttons and very cute design that you will be stitching them on!!

great buttons

That New York chart looks awesome! As a New Yorker I'd love to stitch one... where did you get it?

Here is my little bargain for today, the four Victoria Sampler charts from the Elements series:

These babies are really going to challenge my stitchy brain!!!

Love the Victoria Sampler kits. Will you be doing a thread for those in the SAL forum? I 'need' to see them being stitched

those look beautiful. Are they Hardanger patterns? I just got the afghan patterns today from mabel and hope to spend time this week-end practicing them before I actually put one on the afghan cloth. I also hope that you are going to do an SAL on your progress with these.

I will do a thread when I start them - after I've done a bit more hardanger and brushed up on my drawn and pulled thread techniques!

They are a mixture of a lot of different techniques - hardanger is featured at the top of each sampler and then there is a mixture of various stitches and drawn and pulled threadwork, couching and beadwork - quite a challenge!!

I've often looked at those, they're beautiful!

The New York kit is by Thea Gouverneur. I wanted it for a long time, as we got married in New York! I got mine from this site -

That was the cheapest that I could find it in the UK. I think it's a lot more expensive in the states. It is a big project, 31" by 20" !

Oh, what a gorgeous chart, 3MS!!

Today I received 150 DMC threads, from Across Town Stitching, which completes my collection!! At some stage today I hope I will lose the big silly grin I have on my face!!

What fun you will have with these. There is nothing that you can't do now with such a wonderful collection of thread. Keep the grin for a while. It's so good to be able to feel good and show it!

Great collection of threads - hurray for Across Town Stitching! Bobbinating them would probably wipe the smile off my face....... !
