I finally finished my first present last night. He's a little sock monkey for my boyfriend, I hope he likes him! I foolishly used toe socks instead of real socks so I made some extra work for myself, but at least I could use a couple of the toes for the ears and another for the tail! I'm actually feeling quite proud now!

I put together my three pamper hampers last night and even without the flannel cupcaeks they looked great. My DH couldnt' believe it when I told him how cheap they were - luckily we get beauty sales here at work (amgazine) so I got lots of top end cosmetics and bath stuff etc cheaply. Also got my wicker hampers free. WIll post pics later when I've finished them.0

mel, everything you touch just turns out so beautiful, I know you're a very talented lady but also along with that you have such a flair for just putting the right things together and it just looks so right and so stunning.
Oh and in case you didn't guess, I just love it. LOL0 -
I finished the Christmas jumper for my boyfriend! Took me a while (about two months) and it's the most ambitious thing I've ever knitted - I've only done hats, scarves, and mittens before!
It fits him though and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out - just naff enough for the purpose!
