Yay! Picture?

looking at the box contents, there is alot of silk thread, hand dyed fabrics and other luxury stash items. that makes the price very worth it, if you would use the stash. I would, I admit I am quite tempted. perhaps I shall ask for a gift subscription from DH

Oh yay!
I have been waiting for this since you suggested it would happen! the materials list tells me this is going to be alot of fun.

Im going to do a pale cream and gold on Chromatic Alchemy's amortentia 32ct belfast linen.

is it January yet?

two ornaments in the mail already! well done!

Im almost done stitching mine, should finish this weekend

I absolutely love this one! Im really enjoying watching you stitch it.

Im working it on white 25ct lugana evenweave, using anchor 1344 and white. the anchor is one that I got for stashmas last year, its been waiting for the perfect use, and now I found one!
