    OOH am going there sometime in spring with a few friends to do some serious spending - one of my friends wanted vouchers for their shp as her leaving pressie and they were so nice and sent them in £20 a time just in case we didn't collect enough for her - we did collect £100 so she got all the vouchers (was going to keep some for me if we didn't) but am still going to spend some £ on me

    I loved it when I went! :D Chris opened for a couple of hours especially for me & my Mum & I spent a fortune. It's a lovely shop-take a packed lunch and eat it outside by the river if it's not too cold. Also, there's a pretty waterfall a few miles down the road, and a fab Home Bargains in Oswestry, if you have the time. I'm hoping my mum will take me up there again soon. It's still quite a trek from Gloucester, but not as far as it is from London! Will take the sat nav next time though, as we took a wrong turn and ended up in some very narrow country lanes with grass growing up the middle of the road!!!

    i've had a quick google but couldn't find anything (and can't get on ebay at work :mad:

    Has it got a barcode number on it??

    QUOTE]

    The chart is by Sue Hillis designs and it's called Christmas Spool Tree. Code number L184. Barcode is 7 18915 00184 4
    www.suehillisdesigns.net

    Hope that helps!

    it's there on their web site http://www.suehillisdesigns.net/Christmas-Spool-Tree-pluL184.html

    Haven't looked into UK postage but I am sure if you send them an e-mail Maria and the Imps they will post it to you if they don't normally offer it.

    OHHH they have some of the most fantastic designs...... am off for a nosey - and to see about their P&P.:T

    update: I think UK P&P is as below + $5.


    Up to $4.99 -- $2.50
    $5.00 to $14.99 -- $4.80
    $15.00 to $29.99 -- $5.50
    $30.00 and more $6.00
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    chickywiggle, found this for you...s
    The first one is the cheapest and from what I can tell you only get the chart and buttons. Also bear in mind shipping costs from outside UK.

    Had a quick look on ebay for you too. I searched for 'christmas spool tree' and just 'spool tree' but there were no hits at all.

    HTH

    Thanks Shelly - I was having a hunt for Maria and the Imps - I can't justify any more looking at my stash!! :o not so much UFO's as 10+ completly UNSTARTEDobjects and around 40 magazines :D

    Oh I know what you mean. I too like the Christmas Spool Tree and whilst googling for it found lots of other christmassy projects that I want.
    I really mustn't though. I got 7 new kits for xmas and must have at least 10 more in my stash....all unstarted :o I really must sort my sewing box out to make room for the new kits.

    Comparing my stash to Ruths I don't have many but hubby just doesn't look at new kits like I do :D

    Was a happy day today......heating oil got delivered!! Hopefully can get on with some stitching now I don't have to be so bundled up in layers :rotfl:
    :heart2: Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without :heart2:

    Morning all

    Well I sat down yesterday and picked up my x-stitch for the 1st time since about early october :eek:....anyway this is where I was when I sat down :-
    celticsummer29aug.th.jpg
    and by the time it was bed time I had finished all the gold off (in the tail of her skirt) :j-so now she is done and has been washed and put to dry -then I can press her and sew on all the beads and frame her :T
    celticsummer7jandone.th.jpg
    so now, whilst she is drying I am moving back to "forest light" -so here is where I was up to when I went into hospital .....
    forest18oct.th.jpg
    I can't wait to get this one finished -only so I can start a nice new one :p-I have quite a few waiting in line -though not as many as you Ruth_Honey :rotfl:
    I hope everyone is tucked up safe and nice and warm with their sewing...
    happy stitching everyone :D
