Off topic I know but I just wanted to show you all my finished angels


Angels all finished and ready for the tree by sk00bie81, on Flickr

Tomorrow evening I will mount all my cards so will post a pic of them then, of course not including the exchange one.

Had a bit of a flap earlier, realised the the 28ct even weave I was going to use for mum Christmas stitch is in fact antique white, not the actual white I need. Usually it wouldn't matter, but I need white to match the threads of the pulled thread work so it all blends. Cue super quick order from sew and so.... my seems to have slipped and I ordered this too.

Oops!

Well I have been lusting after it for a while Will have to be for next year though, have far too much to do for this already!!

Flat_Eric - I haven't watched Masterchef for a while but I have also wondered how they manage to fit it all in!

Ruth - Glad you've decided to get rid of your 'friend' Life is too short to worry about people like that.

Hard to recommend without knowing your budget or requirements, but this one is well made: http://www.tesco.com/direct/toyota-sesm21-sewing-machine/209-4997.prd?recommendationId=e317a085-2a5a-474a-b3db-902f43362dec.0&skuId=209-4997

I have a mid range Brother one which was £150, and is also very good, I can get you the model number if you want it.

What do you plan to do with it?

TMIF I got them from an ebay seller in the US, it was a Bucilla felt kit from 1996. I love their stuff, especially the older kits.

I've got a table runner kit and a tree skirt kit to do as well :rotfl: Although I won't need those until we have our own place, no space for a big tree or a dining table here!

I was going to get up early again but I didn't set my alarm properly so here I am sitting have a cup of tea instead of rushing out the door!

I am so convinced that I wouldn't need to set my alarm and that my furry alarm clock (cat) would wake me up instead but I don't trust my cat not to think it was the weekend and sleep in for hours :rotfl:

Have a good day all :j
