My hubby is very interested in my stitching & often helps me with colour choices, framing and where to 'sign' my stitching. Hoping he was too distracted by the Ben & Jerrys he brought home to realise what I was up to. I've been stitching it in secret for months. Either when he's at work, at my stitch meets or sat at the leisure centre, overlooking the pool...lol!

that wouldn't happen to be the karamel sutra ice cream would it ? Mr T delivered my shopping earlier including a pot of this new ice cream! I'm looking forward to trying it later :j I just hope no-one from the slimming world thread is following me on here :rotfl:

Yes, that's the one. It had melted a bit, but still yummy. Of the core ones, I think Berry White was my fave, but this second fave. I love Ben & Jerrys and although I'm trying to lose weight, a little treat now & then is good.

FOS - star sapphire is the gemstone for 65th. sky blue is the colour. hope that helps.

Thanks Chicky - that's very helpful. I am thinking of possibly using the Mackintosh design which Louise showed us a few days ago. Sky blue would be lovely though I'm not sure my Mum will be that impressed with the suggested gem for a gift - it's not really in the same league as diamonds ( a apassion for jewellery is something Mum and I share but she has far more "good" pieces than I do)

It is fabulous - my advice would be to skip the main course and just go straight to dessert. I tried some when it was on offer in my local supermarket and they haven't had it since which is probably a good thing

Half price!!:j

Mine arrives tomorrow with my Tesco delivery lol :D

I certainly wouldn't pay a fiver for a tub of ice cream :eek: Hope it will be on offer again.

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to share the completed Monsters



It was much appreciated by the little monster himself (and his mum )

My Bent Creek design for Dad has arrived, will order the thread on Thursday and get to it.

Haven't had much time for stitching this weekend, went to a lovely party on Friday, SiLs yesterday and nieces joint birthday party today... Phew!

Found out Great Aunt isn't very well at all so might have to go up north later in the week

Well better get on, hugs to all xx
