Santa was good to me !

Look what I got!


DMC floss in every solid color they make! I think there are something like 454 different colors!

WOW! If that doesn't inspire you to stitch, nothing will! This is just like getting the Crayola box with all 64 colors when you were a kid! (Does anyone remember that)?

and. . .

DMC linen threads.

I will have to look for a special design to use these! I like the way the linen looks on natural things like trees, grass, etc.

and . . .

My red tea kettle!

I specifically asked for this one. I love how cheerful it looks on the stove!

Quite a haul!

Thanks all of you for all your kind words on my ornaments. I still haven't gotten them finished, but hopefully soon!

Ruchi, I think it is wonderful that you are teaching your daughter to stitch! That is such a nice thing to pass down to the next generation. She is young, and even if she does not continue with it now, she will probably come back to it someday when she is older. She will always remember that you taught her. I learned from my grandmother when I was about her age. I will never forget it. It is one of my most cherished memories.

Have a Happy New Year everyone!

Hope it's a good one for all of us!

Whoa! Could you ask Santa where he got the complete set of DMC from? lol! I'd love to have a complete set! You got some wonderful Christmas presents! Glad it was a good one for you. Happy New Year!

Hi Margaret.
I asked Santa. He said he got it at Herrschner's! Gosh they have been around for years, but I am surprised that Santa found them!

Happy new year Erica.

Fantastic pressies. The only thing that would bother me about receiving a full set of DMC would be the thought of having to wind them onto bobbins. LOL. Other than that, it's a very awesome pressie!!
