...if I can wait. I don't know what it is but it had better be ... ELIZABETH.. 'cause that would be great!
Can you tell I am excited ? The good news is that my bank account has been hit (well yes, in this case, it is good news), but the bad news is that the amount is not enough to cover all that I ordered (hmm surely that should be good news ??), so the conundrum now is - what's missing?? I ordered Elizabeth and a few of the new BBD back on the 17th March but I guess they had to order the pattern in so it has been a while. I added a couple of CHS charts to the order on 8th April along with one or two (dozen??) threads. So the amount is too much for just the first order but not enough for both orders so I will have to sweat it out a bit longer, but let me tell you there will be major tantrums disappointment if the lovely one is not in the parcel. The mail used to only take about a week to ten days from the US, but the last parcel took nearly three weeks, so I hope it won't be that long this time.
Anyway, I really need to move butt and finish "Tis" before that parcel arrives. I have been trying lots of different white threads to get the coverage for the snowflakes and the writing, because it needs to be quite stark looking and one strand of the Gloriana was not giving that look. The gloriana is the brightest white I have so I am trying it now with two strands and will see how that goes. Sorry no pictures today of my unpicking. I have a few cards I need to get finished and then it will be stitching time and hopefully a finish.
Thanks for listening
Mary

I hope your parcel arrives soon Mary as I know how eager you are to get hold of Elizabeth.
Tis is just beautiful! Hope your new charts arrive soon.
Perhaps you could access your order on the web site so you can see what they are sending. Hope it is Elizabeth, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I hope the beautious one is in the package. Isn't the waiting so excrutiatingly hard?! But almost bittersweet, since you know it's on its way. I have been waiting for the latest BBD Anniversaries of the Heart chart & couldn't figure out why it hadn't arrived. It dawned on me yesterday that with the volcano ash cloud hovering over Europe, flights weren't arriving in... and thus neither was my stash. Blergh. Anyway, hope you are happy dancing with stash soon!
Hope you get a good package in the mail! Love your stitching! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
