    Photos as promised. It's the perfect height for my daylight lamp and my thread boxes just pop in the drop down drawers. So thrilled with it

    Good evening girls,

    Hope you are all safe and warm - I have a wee hot chocolate here and then on to some stitching later and forget about today stresses.



    No I haven't choosen it yet - have been in touch with the designer (lovely lady) and she says I can choose later as she is hoping to bring out 30 new designs next year.



    Thank you so much Flat Eric - it is is lovely - got my hot chocolate on it now - fits my favourite mug perfectly.

    Glad to hear everyone is okay after the storm, I watched the news about the flooding and the 5 houses that got washed over the eroded cliff and feel so awful for them all, especially this close to Christmas :(

    We got off pretty lightly with just a messed up garden but a house a few streets away had a shed crash through the bedroom wall, leaving a big hole upstairs (pic has been doing the rounds on FB)- there was a man asleep in his bed at the time :eek:


    No stitching for me, and a busy weekend planned, which will involve putting the decs up (yay) and doing my cards (meh).
    Really wanted to complete Mother and Child for 11.12.13. But it's just not going to happen.

    Here is the lovely coaster I got from Mrs MP for those of you not on Flickr. It's really beautiful and I am going to have to keep it closely guarded as DH and DS1 have got their beady eyes on it too. Thank you once again.

    Hope to be back again later as I am going shopping with Mum to get the boys xmas from her - hate going shopping in December - grrr.
  • Good morning everyone

    A quick update on the Christmas exchange. According to my records caroline78 is waiting for her piece from Tricksie although Tricksie has posted to say she mailed it on time and coxy has yet to receive her piece from Caroline who posted she say she thought mailing day was today so hopefully Coxy will receive her piece early next week

    If anyone else is still waiting please pm me

    I think the variety of designs is stunning and thank you to all who took part

    I've been very busy at work this week and like Louise I will be putting up decorations, writing cards and wrapping presents so not much time for stitching. My favourite part will be getting out my xs Christmas pieces :D

    Loving all the updates and very jealous of the storage cabinet :D
  • The exchange was fun - thank you for arranging it FOS :) xxx

    (and more thanks for my lovely card x)
