Yay! \o/ I'm so happy you got it! I was afraid it wouldn't make it!

I'm happy you like it :grin: It was a real pleasure to create and stitch it!

I put "homemade painting" on the box because they told me at the post office that if the customs didn't know what cross-stitch was, they would probably put it aside fur further examination, and that it would delay the delivery. So, since I stappled the fabric on a stretcher frame, I decided to put "painting" instead of cross stitch :)

I have to clean the pattern up first because I put colours everywhere to remind me where to start and where to end, but as soon as it's done, I'll post it under the "Pattern" section of the board :nod

Also, I'm moving out in 3 days, which means I won't have the Internet for at least 10 days. If I receive my gift during this lapse of time, I won't be able to post it on the board. So, Swappie, don't get anxious if you don't hear from me, I'll be back soon to show everyone the wonderful things you've sent me! :grin:

If you look closely you can perceive that the animals are angry because one of the gifts skipped the family picture. Well, "Hope" was to busy hanging around on my wrist.

Oh yay!! Those got there QUICK! Lol. I am SOO glad you like them!! I was really nervous cause it seems I didn't send as much as some others (and what all my questions were about lol), but that freakin box took me the largest chunk of time! I found a pattern online but edited it a bit on the cover, inside, frame, and the little flap thing with the magnet in it to hold it closed (that stupid thing took me like an hour to figure out a good way to do it. I still don't think it came out right.... :/). Sorry for all the questions too! I had lots of ideas, unfortunately I just ran out of time! :(

Those crosswise satin stitches on the box must have been a chore to finish, but they sure look snazzy!
