Recently while checking out some cross stitching blogs I came across a really lovely Maia design that I couldn't stop thinking about. It is called "Winter's Majesty" and is based on the artwork of Karl Bang.
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted it - so I started searching online for the design in Australia and didn't get very far. But, I did find it on the "Sew and So" website, and while I know I should be supporting Australian online and local retailers, with the Aussie Dollars being so good, I decided to buy online from the UK. Unfortunately, while I was on the Sew and So website I also found 3 other Oriental style kits that took both my fancy and my hubby's fancy.... Plus they had a very good sale on and a good sale is my one weakness!
I was really pleased (and surprised) that I only had to wait just over a week for the package to come from the UK - not bad!
So now all I have to do is finish my "Bonsai and Buddha" and then I can start "Winter's Majesty".

Still, what is a cross stitcher without a stash?? I don't think there is any such thing!!!
Until next time,

Noni, Winter's Majesty is one of my all time faves, but I've managed to resist so far. I'll have to live vicariously through you when you stitch her. :D I've never seen Pagoda View before..... it's lovely!!! Soooo, when are you starting one of them and which one will it be? ;)
