    Oh wow!! envious of your find!! am at the car boot every sunday before 7 as hubby hooked on Ebay so we buy up toddler toys and sell baby bundles, got a business account - hence why I rarely get time to sew these days!! Will have to keep a keener eye out for cross stitch bits may get to do them when the children have left home:rotfl::rotfl: - they're 6 and almost 3!! x

    Whatever anyone may say, Bobbismummi, I don't think this is a problem. I know someone else has called you out on it, and i said that was harsh of them, but people who make their living by trading are OK by me :)

    i have said absolutly NOTHING to anyone about anything Mags_cat - in fact it took me 20 minutes to write my post and I won't be re-writing it.

    I read your comment and refused to bite back as everyone is entitled to their opinion,
    as for what was said after I went to bed I don't know as I was asleep.

    So please keep accusations to yourself without facts........... I'll take that apology with chocolate cake and a cup of tea please.

    Sorry to my good friends (and you know who you are as we talk off of here) that I have made but this really is it for me this time.

    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    Hello girls,

    My latest wee projects finished - names obscured to protect identities and I have yet to let them know they are getting them.

    Hope all are well, thank you for kind comments about my samplers - will order for material later - seen cut bits on E#ay for only £1.75 each, so no waste.

    sweetcarer ;)

    sweetcarer your samplers look lovely.

    too miserable to sit outside stitching so stitching has been abandoned in favour of knitting today, did get a fair bit of sea done last night as thats only 1/2 cross stitch and areas are left blank in the sea and the sky.

    Thank you to my furry alarm clock for the 4am alarm call this morning. I haven't slept since :( (after a long and tiring day yesterday, it will be matchsticks at the ready today...)

    no stitching done this weekend but have nothing planned for next weekend so determined to do something. Must get on with some xmas stuff and also continue with my friend's baby card.

    Hi ladies.

    Haven't posted in awhile so apologies for the length of the catch up post that's on it's way :o

    No stitching done at all here last week. Hubby was on hols from work so we went out pretty much everyday. My PC has had a nice rest as I hardly had the energy to turn it on so I'm now playing catch up with all my online stuff :D

    Have dated my responses to posts as some go back to last month :o
