I was so excited I called my DH at work and asked him where he hid my package tore into and was looking at all my gifts and drooling over them, I then sent him a message showing him what I got, and he replied with. That's nice but weren't you suppoed to wait until the 1st. I said it is the first it's after midnight silly. He said no babe...its just the 30th the 1st is Sunday. :oops: :oops:

This is so exciting. A huge thank you to Maemae0410 for all my presents. She chose my favourite designer Nora Corbett and I just cannot wait to get started, her choice was brilliant. I love the ornament, it will have pride of place on my tree and be a constant reminder of all the lovely cross stitch friends I have made this year :D

Stashmas is here!

I got a rather large box and heavy box from talenaya. I opened the box and saw my first gift:
Image

A beautiful handmade throw blanket! So thick and warm! It's in my lap right now. :D

Wrapped up in the blanket I found this:
Image

I set to work opening them all up and ended up with so many wonderful things.
Image
A book of cross stitch motifs
A book called Magical Cross Stitch which has many patters of dragons, wizards, fairies, and other fantasy subjects.
Glow in the dark thread
Green metallic thread
A cute autum acorn chart from JBW Designs
2 prefinished bookmarks to stitch (Big One will beg me to stitch one for her, I just know it!)
A prefinished hanging pillow form to stitch on
Some postcards from Georgia

Thanks you so much, talenaya! I love it all so much! :wub: :wub:

Stashmas from Squirrel was totally wonderful. First I opened my parcel envelope to discover a lovely wrapped package inside which was this gorgeous patchwork bundle and a card:

Image

And inside such wonderful threads and a design by Sweetheart Tree (which I'd been looking at for ages), plus fabric for it, scissors (a gal can never have too many scissors) and a tiny hoop PLUS a needle minder. So generous! Thank you so, so much.

What beautiful Stashmas presents -- I love looking at all the pretties, they give me all sorts of ideas :-)

My Stashmas present was unexpected, completely different, absolutely unique and will adorn the wall of my craft room when I get one -- until then it will be by my desk (home office) so I can look at it every day.

Andie (elementaryteacher77) picked colours from my sig and the Mabel's Fancies site and designed and stitched this:

Ellicopter sent me a Mystic Stitch chart that I'm in love with (and that my boyfriend wants me to stitch next :shifty: ), some beautiful threads from Chameleon Threads in South Africa, and a gorgeous hand dyed fabric from Polstitches. The fabric is aptly named "Addiction" :lol:

I also got this beautiful handmade card!
