    Just spent all night stitching due to my stupid mistake. A friend of mine asked to stitch two coasters for her as presents for a Gran and Grandad. I had them all stitched and sent her a wee message to tell her they were ready and she said she would call today.

    So I set up the iron and backed them, then measured them twice and cut them and tried to put them into the coaster. I had only cut them too small. I could have screamed. So I ended up staying up all night to get two new ones stitched.

    Made the other ones into two decorations for the tree for my parents, even though my Mum is Granny and not Gran...lol

    Heading to bed now to try and get a few hours before baby boy becomes too much for hubby to handle...lol...xx

    everything is amazing. I don't have a favourite - they have all obviously been made with love and care. To me, this is what Christmas is all about (sorry if I sound sentimental, as I get older I get more cynical about the seasonal "big spend").
