First with the Grrr.... I ordered some q-snaps and overdyed threads from Stitcher's Closet June 28th, and they just shipped my order today. When you're SO excited to get your stuff, eleven days seems like a reeally long order processing time.
Or, it seems long until you consider the fact that I ordered some fabric from Silkweaver also on June 28th, and they still haven't even charged my card. So, I'm pretty sure they haven't shipped yet. They did have a notice on their site that they would be on vacation July 4 - 12, and wouldn't ship in that time period, but I didn't realize they wouldn't ship orders placed 6 days before that period either! :(
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
Ok, enough of that. On to the Yay! I spotted this lovely kit on Stitching and Life in The Company of Pets and had to have it. I think I'm going to stitch it once to hang here at the house, and again for another patch for Little Man's backpack. So, I ordered it last night and Sparklies emailed me today to tell me they shipped it. Already! Yay! Here's a picture of it...

Even more tangibly exciting, I got a small stash delivery today! Elegant Stitch (which I learned of through Dawn) is just awesome. I called in an order on Thursday afternoon and it was here today! Monday! So, woot for Elegant Stitch and Dawn! I got my very first set of Piecemaker needles and my first q-snaps! I got a small 6" x 6" frame which will be great for ornaments. Here's a not terribly exciting picture of my teeny stash delivery.
I've made a little more progress on Nemo, but I'm waiting until I finish it to post him again. Here's hoping my stitching moves faster than certain stores... :)

Congratulations on your Q-snaps. I guarantee you they won't be the last ones you order. I have many of them and most of them can be mixed and matched. I am stitching Flower Fairy on 8" x 11" ones from two different sets. My large Victorian Wedding Remembrance is on a 17" x 17" set (made with extenders). They even make larger ones to be used on quilts.
Love the Gecko pattern. I too am waiting for an order that was placed almost a month ago from an on-line shop I've never ordered from before. I will probably not order from them again ;)
Eleven days is too long to organise an order with no info from the store. I start emailing if three days goes by with nothing happening! You'll love your Qsnaps. Even the little ones are handy to have around. I using my little 6inch ones on my Dragon Dreams freebie stitch at the moment.
I love the Gecko, too! My son wants me to stitch it for him.
Hope you finish Nemo soon:)
Oh, I loooove my Qsnaps! I hope you like them, too!
I think I remember someone saying that Silkweavers dyes-to-order a lot of their fabric, so that might be the reason it's taking so long. But, yeah, they still should've emailed you!
Congrats on getting your first piecemakers you're going to become a needle snob now! I won't use anything else!
Have fun stitching the Gecko. I really enjoyed doing mine and it works up so quickly.
