Awwww thanks everyone for the lovely comments!

Rainmac - I have to admit I've had a busy week trying to get everything done. Don't feel like I've sat down hehe. Although to be fair it was a coincidence that the cross stitch was finished in the same week. Hoping to start my second no sew blanket today. Me and the other half are going shopping next weekend and so I'll probably end up getting more stuff for making pressies. I've got 3 french memo boards to make as well as cross stitching my Christmas cards and I've got 2 cross stitches to do as well!!

Loving eddie... brings back memories of going to see iron maiden when i was 17... 19years ago :eek: the 7th son of a 7th son tour Don't suppose you can do Alice Cooper can you ....
I can't even draw a match stick man

MrsTine... No, No scottish roots just a squaddy hubby who loves his whisky (mind you, Im partial too;)) You should see the cupboard :eek: Although its a lot cheaper in the NAAFI out here so I don't mind.... the other week they had 3 for 2 on them :T hubby got a litre of Glen Morangie Nectard'or for about £20.. I looked it up on the web and it was £42 for 70cl :eek:

Rainmac.. its crazy... I love doing big pictures..but get bored doing small x stitches ..the lady has lots of blending etc -but no fractionals Im sad.. I get all excited when I like a kit that has the threads in bundles so I have to sort them out -im sure i must need therapy :rotfl:

I got some nice pink wilkinson sword ones from Woolworths reduced to £2 when they first started reducing there summer things. There may be some still around if there is a Woolies near you might be worth a try!

Hi all. first post here, but in the last 3 days I have read this thread from beginning to end. I have somegreat ideas buzzing around my head to do for xmas and will be starting asap.
One Idea I am making yet dont think i read on here was wheat bags. I am going to make them for my parents and the kids of the family. All I have to do is find a shop that sells wheat whole. think farmers market will be my beast bet. Also need to find a neighbour/friend with lavender in their garden.

Well done to you all, all the pics of things are amazing. I am so jealous. I'm not really crafty but going to have a go


Thanks again for all the ideas

Siren - fantastic picture of Eddy. When I was looking at Eddy I wondered what was on your tv, and then I scrolled down and you had said - aren't I nosey!

LOL being nosey is our right

WOW siren I LOVE the pic of Eddy!! Did he have a nice birthday? he looks very chuffed from the little bit of his face I can see lol.

Hi all!

Yep the other half had a great birthday! He was really thrilled with his pressies especially Eddy! Although I was stupid and brought him an Xbox Live membership and he has nothing nothing but play on it since hehe. :rolleyes: Although that has its pluses as it has given me time to unpick the overlocking on my other 4 blankets so they are ready to cut tomorrow yay!
