Its all waiting pinkladymel i have to be extra nice to Oh and I might get a visit to Hobbycraft and spend my £4.00 voucher. Then i`m having some making sessions i`m not as clever as the rest of you but i`m having to find creative ways around that.

Things to make/get :

Candy Cane cross stitch need to stitch just got advice from Rainmac and Paddingtondoo as its my first since 12 !:j

Christmas Cards : toppers and craft pappers need card blanks and gullotine

Reindeers : have to buy soap ribbon

Christmas bath salts: ingredients neals yard

Christmas fudge and truffles and mini christmas puddings. Alll ingredients bought will wait until decemeber to make.

Pots of gold and snowman soup have everything except ribbon

then finally might have a go at my little scrap book kit.

thats about it

Just had another thought brookeslay as rainmac suggested sort your threads first. If your kit didn't come with a thread organiser aka a bit of card with a row of holes in then you can easily make yourself one by putting a row of holes in a bit of card and then looping the threads through.

I haven't done any stitching for ages I have loads of charts and threads sitting there but I also have loads of knitting to do and cards to make and hampers to wrap and there's always a sock monkey (am resisting them so far) and............................. only one me :rotfl:.

That's how I'm feeling, not enough time for me to do all the things I'd like to for Xmas.

That's true you didn't, I swear most of my brain has seeped out of my ears since having 2 kiddies
