Such a sweet tree!

He looks very elegant Mel, enjoy!

Very cute :)

Karen R said...

I can almost smell it from here. I love the ease of my fake tree, but I sure do love the smell of real ones :)

Hilary Syddall said...

It's a shame what happened to Hector - but Son of Hector looks smashing!

Paula Hubert said...

Poor Hector definitely met a tragic end.. but Son of Hector is very handsome indeed! May he have a longer and less mud-filled life than his predecessor! :)

Claire EJ said...

Well said :)

Hi Mel,

That is always taken on Father's Day because it is the only day all his kids come over. My MIL shows up on my birthday and no one ever comes over on Mother's Day so I am a 'bitch' royal about everyone being at the house at the same time, on this one day, so we can do this picture.

Nancy Murdock said...

This was such a good idea you had, wish I had thought of it before I mixed everything up! I have saved everything I have received and plan on taking a photo in one "group" photo!

Melissa Hicks said...

Thanks Nancy - I figured if I didn't take individual photos then I would forget who gave me what - and anyway this way everybody can see all the wonderful Christmas cards that were sent around :)

Karen R said...

MMM, yummy!

Karen R said...

That is so cool!

Karen R said...

Very nice!

Paula Hubert said...

GAWJUS!! And perfect for you! ;)

Karen R said...

Hey, I recognize that, too! Sneaky mum!!

Karen R said...

Pretty!!

Karen R said...

Goth ducky - who'da thunk? That is pretty funny :) And the card and fob are gorgeous!

Karen R said...

Very cool card - I love the one she sent me, too! I have a couple of cards of this Colorwash from my old silk club, but I haven't used any of them, yet, either. They do feel really nice, though!

Hilary Syddall said...

*snerks* at the duck! That tickles me as well Gothy!

Terri England said...

That is beautiful.

Terri England said...

That is so cute.

kay jones said...

Gorgeous.

Debbie Lord said...

Gorgeous Mel!! Very clever List Mum!!

Debbie Lord said...

Cute duck, love the fob and I'd get the card framed it's gorgeous!! Enjoy!!

Claire EJ said...

OMG! So much for surface mail LOL...amazingly they must have sent it by air although we paid for surface! Tried to get the original Dragon Box but they only had this one.....

Claire EJ said...

One of the Colinette yarns...they do work up beautifully.

Claire EJ said...

It IS a bracelet....ain't nothing fob like about it LOL.

Melissa Hicks said...

Oooops sorry !!!!! It *is* very pretty !!!!!

Melissa Hicks said...

I got awfully confused when the second box turned up a week later and it was *lighter* than this one .... {lol}

Claire EJ said...

That is so insane...we paid surface for the heavy one and air for the other. They really should have arrived the other way around LOL. So glad both arrived.

Claire EJ said...

T'was supposed to be a Punk Duck but I changed the outside words to fit LOL. Mine is sitting in the bath waiting for water and bubbles...just too funny!

Paula Hubert said...

The duck makes me giggle, too - so perfect for Gothy! and the bracelet and card are just lovely too.

Nancy Murdock said...

Don't know what to comment on the duck!! But love the fob!

Nancy Murdock said...

Very pretty and very special!

Melissa Hicks said...

Hey Laura - look what turned up !!!!!

Karen R said...

Wow, that's cool! Better late than never!!

Laura Landis said...

WOO HOO! I'm so glad it finally got there!! I kept kind of wondering but just thought the mail may have been extremely slow!! Hope you enjoy it.

kay jones said...

You could have took the sticky off so that we could see the dragon properly!!!! What shall we do with you girl?

Melissa Hicks said...

Ummmm send me more stash without stickers - so I can show them off properly :) :) :) Cheeky grin.

Melissa Hicks said...

Oh I certainly will !!! I was looking at the chart last night and it is completely DMC. No metallics or beads - I am sure I could kit this up and start very soon .....

OUCH - shut up RR and stop bothering me!
OUCH - Look Castle I will get back to you next month
OH Goodness - stop pouting Archway
Oh now look - stop crying THOM ......

kay jones said...

Take me out and stitch on me pleeze pleeze..... said the castle
Its next month now so of course she will.... said the dragon

Claire EJ said...

Kerry's card just arrived here yesterday. Marcus is so gorgeous.

Claire EJ said...

Ooh, looks like an Amazon giftie. I love how they wrap stuff, it's simple yet elegant.

Claire EJ said...

Wahoo! Great gift. We're about 8 episodes into our set now and the differences from being on tv and on dvd are quite marked.

Hilary Syddall said...

Well if people will put wish lists up on Multiply LOL, glad you like it Gothy!

Karen R said...

I should go see if our Blockbuster rental place has these - I really wanted to watch the show, but missed the first couple, then soemhting that I was actually able to watch was on against it here, blah, blah, blah...

Melissa Hicks said...

It *is* a cute watch! And do so love Bob !!!!!

Can't wait to have enough time to sit down and watch them again ......

Terri England said...

Very thoughtful. What a wonderful gift.

Terri England said...

Wonderful Purchase. I have this one and the fabric.

Terri England said...

What a wonderful Blue.

Claire EJ said...

Ooh! You got Circe! She needs all those Kreiniks? wow....nice buying. Lovely design. What's the chart like? well put together etc?

Karen R said...

MMMMM, purple metallics!! Can't wait to see your start on this one!

Natalie Mikesell said...

I love those metallics too!! Happy to hear that you got something you wanted and can't wait to see some WIP piccies ;)

Nancy Murdock said...

She's pretty, I have one of these as a UFO, (enchanted Fairy for my DD) variegated silk problem I need to frog. These RTB are so much nicer than Kreiniks, if you haven't used them you will love them. I don't care for the instructions, or the fold out pattern, but some designers do it that way. It was a pain trying to copy it for a working copy. Spent a lot of time and paper making sure I didn't miss a line here or there. The colors are so pretty when you get all your supplies together !!!

Melissa Hicks said...

Thanks everyone and thanks Natalie :) I have the fabric and beads already - so all I need is the DMC and time and I'm all set ....

Claire EJ said...

I can see your WIP pile starting to look like Mariann's LOL....

Paula Hubert said...

She's beautiful! I had NO idea she was so sparkly! I think I may have to consider her a bit more seriously!
