the 2 red baubles are going to be backed on to felt for the tree next year, although I wish I had left a bigger gap between them! And the coffee pot is just because I liked it

just done a count up and I need 12 of those little stockings! I have also promised to do 2 normal sized stockings for dh nephews and one for bf baby who is due March! at least I'll be an expert at them!

Just a bit of a venty post, so please feel free to ignore me.

Hubby was due back at work yesterday but felt ill and didn't go. Today he decides to tell me he isn't going back as he doesn't like it. Okay, that is fine, if you are unhappy in your job then I don't expect you to stay. But could he not have told me that before I spent loads at Christmas, before I paid a deposit on the holiday, before I got Sky turned back on. I kept telling him all these things depended on him having a wage.

All picture and no sound in my house at the minute as I can't bring myself to speak to him just yet....xx

Edited to add, just worked out and our income has dropped from £2000 a month to £700 a month !!!!

Health Warning - I take no responsibility for any actions taken from following this link

There are quite a few other designs by this designer on this site that I really like.

I haven't been able to find the chart from a UK supplier but I haven't spent a lot of time looking. The designer is Cherry Wood Design Studios and the piece I posted is from a blog and the stitcher has completely changed the colours from the original. And I'm sure it will be available from other US sites but this happens to be one I have used.

But Louise wouldn't you be able to chart if from the stitched piece?

You know, seeing the original - I don't think it would have jumped at me as much at seeing the one you posted, the colours are much more dreary.

I probably could chart it tbh, but I wouldn't mind paying the price they are asking, pity about the delivery costs though (wot - no pdf?):eek:, so I am going to have a look at the Cherry Wood site....

OMG that must have been such a shock to you :eek:

Is there perhaps something else going on that he hasn't told you about yet? Some sort of major problems at work etc? Most people persevere and find a new job before packing in the old one. And he won't be entitled to any benefits at all will he?

What a worry, I'm so sorry to hear that xxx

All he will say is that he doesn't like it. He is very anti social and doesn't mix well, but although there is a full staff of about 100 in every shift, he was the cleaner and didn't work along side anyone, so although he might not like the people he wasn't really working with them.

Going to phone the gov offices tomorrow, get my claim for HB set back up (hope I get that), but no I don't think he will get any JSA.

Welcome to all the new people, and loving all the update pics :T

FOS - love that design, have to agree with Louise, the colours used are much better than the original

Caroline - hope it all works out ok

We've got first lamb of the year born today mother has rejected it so guess I'm on bottle feeding duties

Last 2 days back at work have been hard after the break, so think an hour stitching and then an early night for me
