Loved my stashmas!!!
She sent me two of the tribal charts for the Whale and a Penguin with matching threads!!

I received the fabric I ordered yesterday for you and will be in the mail on Monday. Both are very pretty, one is darker than what I expected but alas still pretty. And I'm glad you like them both. The penguin almost made it into my stash and not to you @rotfl:


I spent yesterday cleaning so I could open my stashmas gift and have a clean apartment.

Some pretty fabrics for backing my projects, some DMC threads that I'm in love with, purple sparkly fabric (not sure what count, but it feels like Aida) some lovely first time hand dying blue Aida (which I love), a bookmark, and weeks dye works thread (excited to find something to stitch with it)

Jaz, I'm so glad you love it all! I had fun picking out the floss colors and had my :x: that they'd be to your liking. Both of the fabrics are 16 count aida. I can't wait to see what you make with that stash. :wub:

Everyone has gotten such lovely gifts so far. :applesauce:

I was away for the weekend, so only had Stashmas yesterday! :doh: But what a Stashmas it has been. As you can see, Carole did me proud: exactly the right sort of needles for me to try, lovely little fabric pieces for experiments (that "bittersweet" is such an interesting colour) and the bits of fibre! The fuzzy purple one is amazing, as is the narrow ribbon. I'd never have chosen them myself for experimentation, so I'm delighted to have them to expand my options. Plus silk !! and flower thread, which is also new to me. All wrapped up in a stocking bag with a singing card (Hey! Macarena! and Serinde danced around the room). So, altogether, a big hit! Thank you!

I'm so glad that you liked your gift Serinde. I couldn't help but think that the card was perfect for you, even though it wasn't a Holiday card. They are fun aren't they? I hope that you will let us know how those threads stitch up. They were all new to me. That fuzzy thread was so different and if I remember correctly comes in a number of different colors.

I'm glad you do! I had fun picking up the bits. The fabric is to go with the butterfly kit -- the one specified in it isn't available in the UK, but this is apparently a good substitute. Didn't want you to have to wait...! 8)

Gah! I've been so busy with finals I completely forgot to come post in here about what I got from efhawks. Photo to come since my room is a mess right now and I don't have time to take a final picture of everything, but I got my first HAED chart: Ballerina Sisters! :wub: I also got some needles with the chart, 18 count aida fabric and a beautifully stitched biscornu.

I got a surprise Stashmas Day Gift in the mail over the week-end. From Sally in Australia. A lovely kit with dragon flies, also called mosquito hawks over here in Charleston. So pretty. You will not be surprised that I had a little problem with who gets the kit:

Finally, the tail stopped swishing so I could get this picture:

Thank you so much.
