:whoop: It got to you so fast! I'm so pleased that you find it useful. I have one similar and it certainly stops the wandering yarn syndrome. :lol:

Sorry I have been a bit missing in action lately. Haven't done a lot of stitching this year but I am starting to get back into the swing of it. Just need to sort out a new lamp as my old one broke :roll:

Maureen, what a lovely gift that is. The card is a cutie and such pretty colours and oh what a useful bag that is and with your favourite poppies on it.

Mags, I love that Owl, so wise looking and like Maureen's lovely Poppy so beautifully stitched.


My Wendy you have been busy and what a lovely thought gifts. Well Done.

I had not bought any cross stitch kits for quite some time but yesterday I finally gave in :whoop: and bought two kits which just came out.

Both of them are from Russian brands and come from Russia, so it'll take some time for them to arrive here in Germany.

There first one is by Alisa, it's called "The ducks are flying" and the second one is by Riolis and called "Snowy Winter". It reminds me of my time in Moscow so I just had to get it plus it's done in half stitch only which will be interesting to try out.
I love both designs equally and I'm SOOO excited for them to get here.
