Where did you find the breast cancer ones? I have a work colleague who is having a mastectomy after Christmas and I would like to stitch one to go on a card for her. Don't want a of charts as would like to give to the charity.

Up ridicuously early this morning so thought I'd have a quick catch up on here then do an early morning supermarket dash!

I've finished my 'shoe delight' cross stitch, will post pictures when I'm allowed. Started the David Bowie - Labyrinth kit but doesn't look like much atm.

I still have one more scarf to knit for Christmas then I'm done.

It's been great being off work as all my shopping is done and all the presents are wrapped. I have appointments nearly everyday next week so I'm glad that everything is organised early.

How are everybody elses Christmas plans coming along?

JUST what I was going to suggest!:T


Hi to all - busy busy round here, I counted...I haven't had a free evening for two solid weeks now, no wonder I am falling asleep every time I try and pick up a needle!

HP Sauce - loving those designs, the one with the pups looks very detailed, how long did that take you?

Maria - You have been busy! Particularly admirning the stocking:j What are you planning on doing witth all the small designs?



Waiting for some bits n bob to arrive fromLakeland, hopefully tomorrow and going to have a go at some handmade/designed chocolates, got some nice little boxes/bags and things, was thinking they might be nice for all the nursery teachers - no way was I buying for all of the individual people, there's at least 9 of 'em! :rotfl:

Yay :j its almost the weekend. :j

Just added a few extra bits to my food shop (to be delivered tomorrow). Its costing a fortune but a lot of its presents/xmas festive spirit plus back up emergency festive (wine) presents!!

question though, do I tip the driver ??? (since its xmas and all that?)

Had my daily visit to sew n so last night and have added two more kits to my wish list. I have resisted the temptation to order them just yet in the hope that Father Christmas will send me a sew and so voucher! and since my OH sent a moon pig card last sunday (And it still hasn't arrived) I'm not trusting the post to deliver it before xmas....

I haven't caught up with this thread properly in a few days so I hope all are well and festive hugs all round. Hope all xmas plans are going well.

ps anyone getting a kindle for xmas ???
