Good Morning Girls

Hope all are well and warm (must be cold, the heating is on and its set to 16ºc).

Not long up - like Saturdays as I don't set an alarm wake up when I am ready. Off to compare supermarkets to see where I am getting and what shop - I look between a$da and sainsbugs - my two local. Then go down street to £shops and get what I can there.

Soon I will get on with some stitching. I got some good and sad news this week. I will have to do another birth sampler for an old friend who still sees someone I used to talk to and she say should would like one like the one I did her kid years ago - my own design sampler. But the sad news is I don't have the design (lost in a file in the house fire) and I don't talk to the person who has it up their wall (which is nice to know they still have it and not binned it). My friend did ask to take a photo so I could try and work it out but was refused as she said it was private! I have persuaded them to let me do one of my choosing and it will have all the baby details for them.

Finished off another page on purplework - so will share that with you all now.

Keep well everyone

I am having a ruthless magazine clearout.......Have figured they yes I might like a design in a magazine but will I ever really stitch it/ have anyone to stitch it for? probably not so it may as well go to a new home.

I need to do this. Trouble is, I don't think I have the energy or the time to sort through and remove nicely all the charts I want/would like to stitch nor face the mammoth task of filing them.

I'm keeping the full mag with the ones I might actually stitch in. that way next year when I am doing my 14 in 2014 list I might find it easier lol.

lol - 20 magazines to keep and 38 to sell :0)

Blimey that's quite a few magazines you have no wonder your having a clear out.
