Opinions Needed

I'm not a Happy Camper :o( I called Hinzeit about getting another embellishment pack for Charmed Flake but had to leave a message. Of course it's been a week and no one has called me back >:o(

While browsing through The Needlework Show, I came upon their booth and saw they had an email address! Just as I was about to send off an email, I saw that they had written that embellishment packs were not sold separately. Well that's great! So I guess that means I'll have to pay $12 to buy the pattern again? This does not sit well with me.

So my question to you all is, if I do stitch Charmed Flake again, do you think she will look just as good without the ribbon charm and charm above her head?

The charm above her head hides a snowflake so there is stitching underneath it. Your input would be greatly appreciated :o) Thanks!

Checking In

Hi Everyone!

I thought I had better drop in and see how everyone is doing with their donations AND to welcome all the new members to our group :o) As of today, we have TWENTY-FOUR, including myself! So exciting! Again, I want to thank everyone for sharing their time and talent to such an important cause that is dear to my heart.

So far this year, I've only made one small donation -

This scissor fob is made with Swarovski crystal beads, sterling silver findings and ribbon charm. I'm not sure what scissors will be attached when I mail it off but I'm sure I'll come up with something ;o)

I also plan on stitching a duplicate of my Charmed Flake and making it into another cube. I was so happy with my first one that I think this will be a perfect donation. I still have to contact Hinzeit to see if I can get the charms though. Fingers crossed that I can!

If you have any ideas on your drawing board or a finished donation you would like to post a picture of, please do :o)
