Heaven and Earth Designs HAED material pack and other stuff

Hello,
    so I have not written a blog post in forever but today is the day that I'm blogging. This is mainly because yesterday I went and collect my heaven and earth design material pack and chart that I had put on layaway back in February. So as you can imagine I am quite excited about it even though I had to pay customs charge which was made up of £13 tax and a £8 handling fee from the Royal Mail ! So here is the material pack and the chart that my excitement is all about.
 So this is the deliciously pink bubble wrap envelope that it all arrived in and which heaven and earth designs call a glamour pouch which I find very amusing.
 This is the chart that I ordered along with the material pack for it. I LOVE it and can't wait to get started on it but I am going to be a really good girl and finish one of my other projects on the go before I start on this.
 So inside of the handmade dragonfly wrapping is the 18 count material to stitch the design onto, which I have not opened as yet as I don't want to tempt myself !! Inside the little pouch was a needle threader and a cute wooden needle case absolutely adorable.
So here you can see the pre-sorted threads I am so happy I don't have to sort the threads out for this project as that is always a mammoth task in itself.

So if your tempted to buy a heaven and earth material pack I would say it is more than worth it.

As I've not written a post in such a long time you won't know that I have a plot on an allotment now which is great fun and is getting there slowly but surely. It has taken some time to get it almost up to scratch but it was an overgrown disaster when I first got it. What with working, college, child and house to look after I cannot get there as often as I wish I could. It is about a 20  min drive from my house so I have applied for one nearer to mine, about a 5 min walk down the road but the waiting list is about 3-6 years long ! So in the meantime I'll keep ploughing on with the one that I have got.

Monday I am off on my holidays with my son and my daughter. My man is staying here to look after the pets. We are only going to the Isle of Sheppey but we are looking forward to it none the less

Right well that's about it for now, take care and hopefully I won't leave it 6 months next time !
