    I keep mine with the kit they came in and use them up on other cards, etc.

    Just checking in to say that I'm on plan to finish exchange card on time. Instead of spending what little free time I seem to have these days on the iPad - I've been stitching :j.

    Have spotted a chart that my niece might like for her 21st in Feb - Ursula Michaels motorbike (pic made up with words) - so thinking of getting that chart next.

    Happy stitching

    Morning all
    Hope everyone is well
    I actually did some stitching last night-how long is it since I've posted that! My exchange piece is quite small but I do hope the recipient likes it. Will hopefully get it finished tonight. I've been working almost full time as I keep getting offed overtime and I'm not turning that down especially at this time of year.

    Hi guys, my exchange piece is waiting to be mounted, just a gentle reminder to post them after the weekend. Can't wait for them all to arrive :) I've been stitching more xmas cards also, been nice to get some time to do it.

    Coxy has some family problems so is not here to oversee us, I hope all turned out ok.
