I love packages and when they are presented so beautifully adn have gorgeous little extras in them they are all the more special. The postman left me the most gorgeous bundle of stuff thismorning from Laura at Passione Ricamo. On the advice of Miss Fudgey and Sue I delved into the world of her lovely linens and I have not been disappointed. The service was amazing, so helpful and friendly adn then when I got my package there were extras! So now I am the proud owner of a metre off white PR linen and FQs of blue and black (and a lovely piece of red that fudgey sent me to get me hooked) and 13 skeins of Venus cotton floss i wasn’t expecting at all. There was also the gorgeous little Fairy freebie and a conversion for the venus threads to DMC. I will be buying from Laura again for sure there were even little ribbons tied around everything. Squee!

To finish up here is a picture of the small amount of Japanese Garden I have added since last time. It’s not much but I have put it aside again so I can work on Lost for QS Wed. The centre realy won’t look like much until I get all the Rhodes stitches in which make up a large portion of the border and Tori Gate.
