  • Love your cushion Coxy. I have never had any success with crocheting (or knitting in fact) :rotfl: Sorry you didn't have much success at the Craft Fayre. :(

    Good luck with the Christmas stitchings mrs-m :eek:

    Have only done one other Christmas cross stitch card other than Coxy's and I think I am going to send it to DS and his partner. I have been looking at all the card shops for a ready made one for Son and Partner and I've just not found anything suitable. It's their first Christmas actually sharing the same home so I wanted something special. Anyhow, the card is made up and if I don't find anything I like better by the weekend, they will be receiving my ski-ing snowman ;). Will post a pic when I am at home next.

    Hope you are all making good progress with your Christmas preparations and not getting too stressed with it all.

    Im relieved to see it arrived as well. I was thinking about starting another piece just in case.
    So far 3 of the 7 things I posted have arrived ok. Got fingers crossed for the other 4.

    Morning all,

    I'm a bit worried as I posted my exchange piece to fos last Thursday 1st class. I put it in a 'do not bend' sleeve and took it to the counter as the weight and thickness were fine, but I wasn't sure about the surface area (so flaming complicated nowadays posting things....). Anyway the guy checked it and I sent it off. FOS hasn't posted that she's received it, so fos, if you're reading this and you have had a post office collection card I really really apologise :(

    Have a good day all
    Coxy
