    Evening all,

    I have completed the middle gingerbread man and am now working on the garland joining him to the right hand gingerbread man. Forgot to take a photo at work as I'm a dingbat. Will update on here tomorrow. This is always assuming I actually make it to London as we have a fair bit of snow and it doesn't take much to cause chaos.

    Hope everyone else is going well. I sent a written card to FoS updating her and asking her to post when she can. Hopefully she will be in touch when she has time.

    Have a good evening all,
    Coxy

    Morning all
    Well done on the gingerbread men progress coxy.
    I've managed to infill most of the gaps I'd left in the skirt with gold and have done a little bit on the border panel last night. Because its forecast as cold at the weekend Dh has suggested we stay in and I can stitch while he reads or watches DVDs. Sounds good to me.

    Update as of today. I've started the right hand gingerbread man. Progress is slow as I only have half an hour for lunch and today DH phoned me for 10 minutes of it (men!!).

    Very jealous of your weekend stitching plans Mrs MP. I have food shopping, bathroom cleaning and eyebrow waxing to contend with lol!

    Looking great Mrs MP :) I managed some stitching on Collecting Shells yesterday as rugby training was cancelled (yay!). I will take a pic later tonight and pop it up.

    Hope everyone else is going well.

    Grrrrrr, had to unpick the start of the right gingerbread man as I'd miscounted the holes in the linen. The light is good in the staff room but I'm only using my reading glasses whereas at home I have my craft light with its aspheric lens :) Not much to unpick but still annoying!

    No stitching for me tonight. Ive just got back from a safeguarding course at the rugby club and now need to wash my hair for work tomorrow. Living the dream!!
