Thanks so saying my stitches are neat, chuffed to hear that as I'm always worried they don't look nice.
I used 2 strands for all the crosses and one strand for the back stitching

Well done on making so many items to sell :T I can't believe you didn't completely sell out, if the fayre had been well attended you definitely would have Are you doing any more fayres? Could you sell any of your leftover gifts on ebay?

My friend hopes to get another space at fayre tomorrow she already has a table for another fundraiser. Her mother has kindly offered to sell. I'm out with beaver's and then work.So am not much use. I'm sure we will think of something. Thanks Mariae.

If anyone wants a gift for themselves for Christmas I would totally recommend this book...

It arrived this morning and is brilliant and I can't wait to make some of the creatures. I'm going to the knitting and stitching show tomorrow in Harrogate so shall be looking for some unusual things to add!

It is really nice! I like it a lot. My robin is here click on the pic to see it in big, with mine you can see the white aida underneath the brown, which I don't like. You can't see any of your aida it looks great

Home Bargains has a great section of puzzles - wooden, metal and suduko type too. Prices are great

Love your idea of digital art to frame, lovely original gifts!

Hi and thank you.

I actually bought some of the puzzles from Home Bargains, I bought the wooden and metal puzzels from there. Cheers for the heads up though
