My HAEDs arrived! Whoot!

I can't start either yet. I'll just stare at them for a few more minutes and then put them away.

Really. I will. Soon.

Maybe if I cut back to 5 hours of sleep, I can start one ...

Forgotten packages are the best! That fabby is gorgeous as are the threads - I've never used Threadworx before, you'll have to let us know what you think of them.

Lovely things! My postie is being mean to me... I ordered christmas charms a month ago and they have yet to arrive :cry: If I don't get them by the end of the next week I'll have to find a plan B for my Christmas cards

What gorgeous fabric, so vibrant and alive. The threads are gorgeous colours too, especially the Grey Flamingo. Enjoy playing with them

I am still waiting for my fabric from Sewitall (Auz) which is no doubt down at the local PO waiting for me - the van drivers are not leaving notes now to say "you were not home today etc pick up after ?? at - - - post office".

Will go down tomorrow armed with details of packaging etc. Seems they need to know exactly what it looks like to make searching the piles easier.

Looking forward to seeing what you stitch on the fabric and use the threads for
