I still have £40 birthday money to spend and I'm looking for a tradional victorian style Christmas kit, but can't seem to find one atm. Any ideas anyone?

I completed 'A Treasured Time' last year, it's a lovely design

Currently working through another page of Touched by magic here (almost halfway) won't get much done over the weekend as we have decided to decorate our bedroom to keep us busy since we have postponed our planned holiday till next year.


Ooooh...postie has just been, heard the sound of lots of parcels rattling through, going to see what Christmas stuff has arrived today :j

Afternoon ladies

That christmas bobbin tree is lovely maria any chance of a pretty please ?

Thanks for the well wishes, my headache is still lingering but much better than last night.

Managed a few more lines of the sky last night, so the right hand side of the sky is now almost finished. I never knew half cross stitch could be so time consuming! I expected to wizz through that bit. Oh well. On to finishing the chair today.

I have a poorly DD today which is not good, as she is held up on the settee annoying DS. And DH is being useless grrr.

Oh well,
hope youre all having a lovely day

Ooh, BikerChick - have to say I'd pick a Tiffany necklace over stitchy stuff any day - lucky you! I cant find anything too traditional but there's a St Nicks Sleigh Ride in the new WOXS that's nice if you want a

I found a nice simple heart that's just blocks of 4 different colours so I actually did some of that - think not havving to bother with the chart too much helped me get on with it.

The necklace is lovely and I only dropped one hint about six months ago. Must be why I married him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hoping my WOXS will be on the mat when I get home so I'll have a look.

Just a little quickie post - not a stitch has been stitched since last night Had hoped to finish xmas card last night but I am finding the backstitch quite fiddly on this one :eek:. Might get a chance to do a few stitches later when I get in from aerobics - there again ..........

Will read all your posts later.

WOXS arrived yesterday - free gift looks interesting - book of xmas designs with some metallic thread (red and gold).

Seem to have lost a bit of motivation this week - the business is manic but I try and give myself an hour of stitching as part of my 'pacing myself' each day. Caouldn't see to do the Wizard (black aida) and the Rene Mac tile is gorgeous but i'm having hoop problems too. Remembered I have a MP Venice kit - UNOPENED - (how!?!) but I can't even get motivated to start that. Also some gorgeous cupcake charts - thank you - but I've seen so many of the real things in the last 2 days that they've gone a bit further down the list than they were
...
Anyone else having problems now autumn has well and truly set in?
).

The cupcakes can wait till ur ready:) I've been wanting to buy a MP Venice kit, as a reminder of our trip of a lifetime... But wonder if I really can make my To Stitch List any longer!

I've been feeling really down, and very fuddled. Felt better to day as spent most of yesterday sewing.... Finally Started Dr Who!! Have 1 tardis door outlined:D. Also basted quite a few quilt hexagons at a coffee morning, researched American Folk art stuffies and made a few design sketches. And Did NO house work at all!!!:rotfl: didn't even remember to buy milk! And He came in so late he didnt want to go out... So he had tomhve my soya milk!:p
