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.



Keep well every one

I'm glad you like it sweetcarer

I enjoyed stitching it. and I'm relieved it arrived safely.

Linda the design is from World of Cross Stitch Issue 209 - from the design library pages. I think the designer is Rhona Norrie.

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

Loving all the updates and very jealous of the storage cabinet

Oh no I posted it on Sunday. Hope it arrives today.

Thank you for the comments re my cabinet. I keep smiling every time I walk in to the lounge.

Been busy this morning washed all the window frames in the conservatory and done the ironing so a quick shower and then stitchy time

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.

Thanks for reminding Louise - I was hoping to get the Nativity pic done for 11/12/13 and just realised that is Wednesday. Oh well only left a little bit to finish it off so hopefully I'll still be able to manage that.

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.

Love this Mrs. MP/Maisie. :T

I'm sure I have this mag - will have to mark it as a 'must do' for next year. It is simple but lovely at the same time.

Sorry for all the posts - just thought that I would have a quick pop in to catch up with everyone while I had a few spare moments. Hoping to get the lounge cleaned this afternoon ready for the xmas stuff coming out.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

The OH has decided the xmas tree etc is going up today. It seems too early to be putting up the decorations but having just helped him get the festive bits out of the loft, I do actually feel a bit excited. :xmastree:

I've decided that today and tomorrow are going to be lazy days :T but I haven't managed any stitching yet.
