I needed another needle minder so bought this Hibiscus design by Kelmscott Designs.
I also bought another floss storage box and some more plastic bobbins. The winding, however, is going slowly!
I'm hosting a Greetings Card SAL on the Needlecraft Haven forum, and this is my first card. It's from Mary Hickmott's Cross Stitch Gallery magazine issue 4. I can't finish it off just yet as I've run out of the Krienik braid and it's out of stock at Sew and So. You can see that I only have the letter "C" to finish, but it will have to wait until I next go to Sew and So or Cotswold Needlecraft at Trentham Gardens.
That's all for this week. Many thanks for all your lovely comments on last weeks post, I really do appreciate them all. It was also lovely to see some new readers and followers of my blog.

Great new stash. Love your card.
Good for you for more stash buying ~ it makes me feel less guilty if I know everyone else is doing it as well!
Your card stitching is lovely, how frustrating to run out of thread with so little left to do ~ wish I could help you out but I've searched through my thread stash and don't have any Krienik :) xxx
What a beautifule card design! It will be lovely when it is finished. Don't you just hate it when you are so close to a finish and have to wait for more threads!?!
It will be worth the wait though!
Great stash and your Merry hristmas is beautiful. Hope you can get hold of the thread to finish it soon
Oh Nicola, from time to time we just need some new stash, no matter how much we already own, lol. The BBDs you bought from your gift certificate and the JN chart are just gorgeous. Have fun stitching them.
Nice stash the needle minder is so pretty.
The card design is looking great.
Lovely new stash.
Isn't it annoying to run out of thread. I did that with some 310 a short while back.
Love your new needleminder. I have the same one.
Great new stash Nicola.
Now was that a 'need' a new needleminder as in wanted to stop losing your needles, or was it because it was so pretty you 'needed' it!? :-) lol
Your sparkly card is going to be gorgeous, hope the thread coes quickly.
Nice stash!
Lovely new stuff Nicola. We always need to take care of ourselves and get some things to make us happy :)
