  • I read a really nice idea in a magazine which was to draw a silly cartoon to sum up your relationship with someone and then frame it as a gift for them. I think I am going to draw a silly one of myself and 2 of my friends and give it to them as a gift, maybe with a friendship quote on :)

  • Do you think I could whip up a sock monkey in a few hours?
    I would like to do it for a gift for a friend and totally forgot him from my Christmas list!
    What stitches would you use for your seams so it doesnt show on the outside?

    Love the reindeer Scattyman so cute and good to see MSE forum on your computer!! (am I sad for recognising that?)

    Still haven't finished my sisters cross stitch tiger. The thing is driving me mad lol!! Instead to have a break from it I've been working on the meerkat that Rainmac sent me! Its not far from being done and will share with you all once he is finished.

    scattymam - lovely reindeer head..........such an expression...........lol:T

    Think I've given one to just about everyone this year - next year someone will have to think of something else (won't be me cos I'm useless at ideas)

    They are plastic and come in two parts so you can add a picture, photo or a stitched something inside and then pop the back on. You can buy the same but as keyrings, magnets and bookmarks. Craft shops tend to sell them. HTH :D
