    Hi Everyone!

    Its been a mad few days as we sadly lost my OH's great nan last week and so had to travel up to her funeral. This meant we wouldn't get time to visit family again before Christmas which left me with very little time to organise cards, pressies etc to send up.
    We got back at 11pm last night and was up for work at 5.45 this morning so I have only just had time to sit down. Managed to get most of the cross stitch cards done and I even remembered (in the chaos) to take piccies for you all to see. I was going to post them now but have realised they are on my OH's phone not mine so you will have to wait hehe.

    I now just have to finish off the last 2 cards, make up 1 hamper and complete 2 cross stitch projects. However the pressies won't be going anywhere until the 28th so I have a little while yet (thankfully!!)

    Hope all you crafts are going well!!
