Thought I'd accidently deleted this post so I did another

I love those beads. Can't wait to see them on the design.

I found myself looking for fabric for A Christmas Song,

on Sew and So on Sunday evening.
14ct light blue aida is recommended. I want to stitch with 14ct but I did my LHN with 16ct light blue aida so I wanted something different.I found a lovely light blue vintage aida in 14ct

and my postie delivered it today.The photo doesn't do the subtle mottled effect justice. It is just perfect

I got 114 Strains of DMC today so now I have afkomst all of THE colors for 2 HAEDs.
( tranquility and à little one to start: ships and Shells)

So, I went a little purchase crazy a couple weeks back. Some of you may have seen the picture of the giant pile of floss ... Well, my orders from Witch Stitch 'n' Bits came today and then I put my printer through it's paces.



This will become a pillow for my Dad's armchair.

This is for a friend who's a little goth and a lotta fun.

This one's all mine, baby!

This one will become a door hanging after a little tweaking by adding "Happy Howl-oween"

This one looked lighter on the website. I may need to adjust the colours. This one is destined for a life as a pillow on my guest bedroom.

Another one bound for pillow-hood. A friend of mine says he travels the world through the words of his favourite authors. His reading chair needs a map, right?

I'll extend the lower section of the frame so I can put my friends' names and wedding date in. To be, are you ready for it, framed!

I love the stone texture in this one. I'm removing the English text. This one will be part if a cover for a friend's gun safe. Bet you haven't heard that one before!

No idea where this one is bound or how I'll finish it. Just liked it!

This one will be a book cover, I think.

This one is a tapestry chart. I'd like to give it a try one day, I think.

Between this and the two HAED charts I'm waiting on, I should be busy ... For a couple of years!

[rcperryls]

they are lovely and would take me more than a couple of years. How will you ever decide what to start with?

The Wedding and The Map are first up as they have target dates. Everything else will be more "as the wind blows".

[Mabel Figworthy]

Well, you won't get bored any time soon ! I love the map cushion idea (and also your friend's words about authors!)

[quilty]

looks like you're going to be busy for a while,a good mixture of designs

[Nachstenliebe]

Very cool charts!! I have never heard of Witch Stitch 'n' bits.. I might have to check them out.

[Carole]

Pretty fabric Meerkat. Perfect for that chart

That's a smashing lot of charts you have there Genghiscon. All lovely, but I like the Masai Mara one the best. That's beautiful. Love the idea of putting the one on a gun safe. Definitely not heard that one before

I received my advent exchange gifts this morning (from another forum). One gift for each day of December up to, and including, Xmas day. I can hardly wait to open them!

[crafterglen]

You know when you can't sit still because something has just made you so happy? Well I got something I ordered a little while ago and didn't think I was getting till the end of the year, they came - my two cabinets from Touchwood, i ordered them to my specs and they are just what I wanted, it will take me a while to fill them as I am a neat freak! but it will give me hours of enjoyment (sad!) only trouble is I can't start just now as I have stitching work to finish first, at least I can look at them and drool a bit?
Happy Stitching

Nothing stitchy but I have recieved several of the gifts that I bought as Christmas presents.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Ooooh Glen, pics please, those cabinets are on my yeah-right-this-is-never-going-to-happen-but-wouldn't-it-be-nice-if-it-did wish list!

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

*chants* Pictures Glen! Pictures Glen! Ooooooooooo all that lovely stash sorting and organising - you lucky lucky girl!!!!

[Serinde]

absolutely!

[crafterglen]

Yes girls, I promise I will take some pictures soon, and yes I do know how lucky I am, I just thought one day that I was always buying for others and stuff and never got for myself and with my stitching work and my last cheque I thought ' why not, it is time I treated myself for once in a lifetime?' And so before I talked myself out of it I ordered what I wanted and I do not regret it one bit! This time it is for me!
Believe me girls, I can't wait to fill the drawers up and organise everything, I want pictures too!!!
Happy Stitching

I have received a beautiful card from Mags, it made my day. Thank you.

This one looked lighter on the website. I may need to adjust the colours. This one is destined for a life as a pillow on my guest bedroom.

This one will be a book cover, I think.

Ohh la la.. These two are fantastic patterns. I could see making either one of these into some sort of cover for my new Kindle Fire.
