  • Thank you for setting up the new thread chickywiggle.

    My dad loved his Holiday Train and as predicted he did shed a tear. :j And my mum thought her 'No Dogs allowed' was great!

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas and here's to a good 2010.

    Thanks for this thread, I am committing here to finish my UFO and as yet un started crossstitch kit this year. My first ever foray into the world of crossstitch.

    I started a wedding sampler in September 08 for a wedding in Oct 08 (massively underestimated how much time they take :o) and have a birth sampler still in it's packet for my friends baby born Nov 08.

    I WILL finish them this year (before baby turns 18 and married couple celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary :p)
