Hi Maisie glad you had a good day. I'm cheating and have just found some numbers I like the look of and I'm just using those because of the time constrant, but dd seams to love them so that's fine and I will jazz it up with her name and some bows and bells

Here are the 6 'names in a frame' pictures I have completed this month - getting £50 for these:








These are little 'extra' Christmas gifts I am making. The frames were £1.50 each in Hobbycraft, but they are on the 3for2 offer which made them very reasonable.

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I haven't finished my exchange piece yet so that's this weekend's project..... It is coming together now (you know where you start adding the odd stitch here and the odd stitch there and suddenly you look at your work and it looks completely different?!)


Next weekend is sending weekend isn't it? Are we trusting snail mail or are peeps using recorded snail mail?

Recorded is the same as normal mail, it's not tracked and quite a lot of the time there is not a signature obtained (can you tell I used to read the ebay board a lot when having a clear out :rotfl:)

Can't find a crying smilie

Just spent the last 5 hours making slow cooker roasted tomato and basil soup.
All cooked so i thought I would strain it got most of it out and strained I couldnt get the last bits out so thought I would pour it out, slow cooker slipped out of my hands, my kitchen is now covered in soup as am i.

I'm off to the corner to cry!

oh no maria you have my sympathy. Last year DH was making lemoncello and dropped a large container of it in the kitchen. It went everywhere as it was in a plastic container at this point and bounced. The walls, tops, cupboards, floor and him were covered in this very sticky stuff. Once I got the thick of it cleared I had to kneel on the floor, my joggers were sticking to the floor and I had to virtually peel my knees off the floor to move to another spot. It seemed to take forever to clean up. Thankfully he hasn't mentioned making any more since . Hope the tomato hasn't left any stains.
