A new toy!!!!

Last week finally the flower frog arrived that I bought from Canada. Mind you...I'm not complaining. It arrived in record time. It ONLY took 2 months to arrive here. And no...lol...that "only" is not a joke. Normally it takes 3 to 4 months to arrive here from Canada. Something is wrong in the postal system between Australia and Canada. If I order something from behind the last bush in the middle of no-where of anywhere in the world it will be here in a max of 4 weeks - except Canada....lol.



BUT...never mind....I still buy from Canada. They do have some great stuff and I like beautiful things. Like this gorgeous flower frog. It was worth the wait. Can't get that here, and the seller did pack it beautifully safe so that it survived the long travel. Filled up with (most) of my favorite scissors.
I would have posted a picture of it earlier, but I can't find 2 of my favorite scissors, which I packed safely away. VERY safely. Can't find the buggers anymore, that's how safe they are right now...lol.

I also finished part 3 and part 4 of the Grand Marquoir. End of this month part 5 will be released :)


Thanks for the nice words about removing the red spots. It would be great if removing would be possible. But I'm afraid that might be quite difficult if not impossible. I'm using hand dyed floss and the fabric only getting a bit damp at places was already enough for the color of the floss to run. You can't wet the fabric between the stitches without getting the floss wet. And damp is already enough to get it running. I made a picture of the biggest spot. Now where I have stitched quite a bit more up it becomes somehow less visible. Who knows how much it still springs in the eye once the stitching is finished. If needed I can drip a couple of drops of water on it to make it look as if the red spots were intended...lol. Who knows, will take a while until it's finished anyway.
