    off to have a look for that weather wally :j

    I have been cross stitching this week. It's something I havent done for a long time. I used to do it when I was a teenager and forgot how much I really enjoyed it. I only did a small piece but I'll be off looking for a new cross stitch chart after christmas. That should keep me out of trouble for a while :rotfl:

    Found a picture of a weather rock on google...........love it.............really want to make one for OH as he gets a bit obsessed by the weather ..............lol
    But, need a rock with a hole in it and with all the snow we've still got around chances are zilch. Might end up doing it for his birthday in March.

    Today no snow thank goodness but its so cold and like an ice rink outside -so, got two little fabric christmas trees made to hang up with the fabric hearts I've done. Foster daughter called and was really impressed............with I'd done her some for Christmas now;) Oh well, maybe next year.

    Be a few days before I get out I think so have to see what else I can find to do:)

    I have been doing a bit more cross stitching too. Not done any on my HAED, she's been put away until after the Christmas festivities as I don't want anything spilt on her. I have done a little personalised piece that I'm going to make into a gift tag for my Granddaughter's Xmas bag and I've just started another for her sister.
