I had an e-mail with details about the xmas mags and was slightly tempted.... but I have lots of xmas mags already and I recognise the DAN featured in the Cross Stitch xmas favourites mag so suspect i will already have most of the designs.

In other news, may I remind everyone its FRIDAY tomorrow and I have a whole weekend of cross stitch planned :j

oh and I bid on the margaret sherry xmas mouse/robin wocs kit (mag out today) but I didn't win. The winning bid was £9.50! :eek:

£9.50? But the whole magazine is only about half that! Are people stupid? :wall:

I've got some poppy charts in some of my magazine, but they're single or a couple of poppies rather than fields of them. I'd be able to a couple at the weekend if you'd like those? I'm clearing out my sewing room and all the stuff to go to the boot sale is currently in front of the scanner

someone did a field of poppies last year........... SURE they did............

ETA: nope it was charliec who wanted one but then didn't.

however dorastar has/ had one called poppies in her stash.

oooooh that'd be great.....have been thinking possibly a field is slightly more cheery and optimistic .... xxx
