cross stitch kits
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a lovely lady by the name of who owns a company based in the U.K. She is new and working to get her company's name out there. She asked if I would review one of her kits - any kit that I chose. I responded that I would be delighted.
With very quick service! I received this wonderful kit in the mail - Seaside Lighthouse.
The kit was beautifully put together. Can you imagine - all the threads came prewound on bobbins!!! How cool is that.
She offered the option of evenweave or aida and that I really liked. I much prefer evenweave.
The pattern is nice and large and easy to read. At my advanced age (approaching 60) I need good clear print.
Am I pleased with the kit. You bet!! Would I purchase from her? YES!
I am excitedly waiting. My son, DIL and two grandsons will be arriving in San Diego tomorrow. I will be there with my arms wide open looking for some grandkid hugs. We have a busy and exciting two weeks planned. Will keep you posted.
I will check for any frogs in San Diego and remind them they love the beach and sand and really want to stay there.!
Until next time
That is really cool. If her floss comes prewound, that is even better!
ReplyDeletePre-wound floss! Very cool! Hope you have a great time with your family!
ReplyDeleteNice kit! Enjoy San Diego, Kathy. It's a great place to visit!
ReplyDeleteI have seen Yoita's kits on a couple of other blogs, I am really going to have to check her kits out!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visitors!!
That looks like a great kit, Kathy--love the pre-wound floss!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun in San Diego with your family--that's one place I've always wanted to visit... Take lots of photos to share with us, okay?
I am blown away that the bobbins are prewound and you got a choice of fabrics. Wow! I will definitely check out her website. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the grandkids! (Yes, the beach is a great place for frogs.)

*THIRD TRY IS A CHARM?* I hate word verification =(
I have heard a couple people talk about these kits. I will have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteYes it looks like a good kit! So nice to see the threads prewound...that is always a chore when the threads are loose.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course a lighthouse...hahaha
Have fun with the kids!
