Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Again just starting a new thread to try and help the forum.

Yesterday I got my tickets for Wimbledon tennis championships.

a cross stitcher magazine and am waiting for some frames and patterns.

Some more magazines from a very lovely lady on facebook!

A forever friends kit from Vanessa It's gorgeous, thank you!

I'm glad you're pleased with it

Yep yep. As I was sitting watching tv my chihuahua started barking at front door. No one ever uses our front door so I brushed it off but he kept barking...finally to satisfy him I opened the door to show him no one was there and what did I find?? My package from Maggie

I got bunches of stuff and of course a card!! My hubby laughed at me b/c he heard the dog barking the door open and then me squeal...I think I scared him a bit at first. LOL

So...Anyone wanna see pictures??

What am I saying of course you do!!
Here's a quick list.
~Fabric marker!!
~Beading needles that I couldn't find near me...now that I see them I think I was over looking them I was expecting them to be different LOL.
~Some fray check. Never used this but it looks very useful.
~Some small "quick" charts as she called them....I think she over estimates my stitching speed. I am still very slow!!
~Small storage boxes...perfect to hold my first metallics which were also inclosed in the package.
~Some Aida one blue and one SPARKLES!! I already know what I want to make on this!!
~A seam Ripper.

Oooh, lovely!

My postman hasn't brought me anything nice for ages
(Think I need some internet shopping time !)

Oh how lovely Mae! Fray check is invaluable, I couldn't live without it.

Nice stash there Mae!!! Must remember to get some fray check next time I go to my craft store

Lovely stash. What is fray check btw?

I've had nothing stitchy in the post for ages but got my tickets for the Dubai Polo Gold cup, now I need to find an outfit.

Fray chck is a fabric glue. It's water soluble so when you wash it it's removed without a trace, but while you use it, it stops your fabric from fraying. And if you've ever had evenweave, you know how much fabric can fray while stitching.

ohhhhh angel is that a joan elliot i see next to eyore??lol

anywho..lovely stash!

Wonderful stash there!

My turn, my turn!!
Mr. Postman brought me a box from maemae that had the Stitchbow folder, a few of the inserts and a zillion of the plastic stitchbow holders. It will take me forever to fill those up! Would take a photo but my camera has gone into hiding. Thanks Megan!!

Everyone has received some nice things!!! I think I'm going to subscribe to the cross-stitcher...

Ooooh lucky you, I wanted to get tickets this year as I haven't been now for about 4 years!

By the time I got round to looking on the website for the ballot I had missed the closing date for applications

Which day/court have you got tickets for?
