As requested, a place for us to ask for help and advice from other stitchers and to show the things we make.
Over to you.:-D

Hides Ck's remote

Turns Merlins toater up to full

Gets Damson to annoy Maggie into going for a walk on the windy beach.

What!!!!  well its too quiet around here, i feel the need to cause chaos

[hiddengems2010]

Throws an 'S' into the toaster and digs out the smilies 😄  🙂 that are hiding behing the xmas tree 😛

[ilove2patch]

Can I have some of your energy please Gems! lol Mince pies made, trifle half made, casserole almost ready to cook & sausage meat 'still' thawing for the sausage rolls!

Santa would have a job to re-wrap some of them as they are will nibbled at! lol

[hiddengems2010]

No wonder you need some of my energy, it sounds like you have been cooking for the whole street, and drinking for them 😉

I have to admit i did have 10 mins on the sofa yesterday afternoon ( soooo unlike me ) but then i was able to stay up playing games until the erly hours 😐

[cat-knitter]

Slaps Gems .... as if there isn't enough chaos around at Christmas :^O 

Well, it can only happen to me ..... I have just broken another tooth today, this time eating a bacon sandwich 😐
So thats one at the front & one at the back :_|

I really hope my dentist is open on Tuesday 😮  at this rate I'll have no teeth left by new year.

Afternoon

Glad to see Gems is still causing chaos - some things never change 😉

Both OH and I are fighting off the lurgy - he has a tickly cough and I have a sinus type headache, so both cosied up on the settee. Such excitement 😮

Enjoy your family time Maggie :-x

[hiddengems2010]

Finally picks myself up off the floor, frightened of the woman with no teeth, :_|    :^O  😐

Smiles and waves :-x

morning everybody:-D

we have rain:O

[ilove2patch]

It's dry here but the wind is very cold. No frost though so above freezing. Damson will be getting a quick walk in a minute.

Family arriving after lunch. Amy has lost another tooth & I have assured her that the tooth fairy knows to come here tonight! 🙂

I have a dilema..


I have 2 new books..

Quilting in no time by Emma Hardy and Stitch! by Cath Kidston..  My dilema is... is it too early to de-christmas so I can get the machine out..

which leads me to another dilema.. I want to make everything!  what do I make first?/

[chickengrandma-2008]

Morning ladies.:-D  It's above freezing here as the bird's water is still, well, .....water!

Granddaughter has another tooth just about ready to fall out.  She delights in hearings us squirm when she pushes it out of place with her tongue.:O  This will be her fourth one and she'll be 6 on Saturday.

Grandson is here and he's busy making something.  I'll show you what it is if/when it materialises Maggie.;-)

[****merlin*****]

clearly not too early to De christmas

christmas has gone!

so what are your choices of things to make??

**wonders who is more excited, maggie or amy**:^O

[ginap.123]

I don't believe Merlin has rain. She's in Scotland so it's got to be diluted snow!

[****merlin*****]

:^Osooooooo true

things are thawing out there! i can see ground out there, first time in over 6 weeks, cat stood staring into a hole in the snow!

[*hippyfairy*]

Morning (just)

Having a lazy day today - boys setting up their new tv/ipod.

House looks like a festive bomb has exploded in it!!

One of my best pressies was a bag of bags of old fashioned sweeties from my youngest - have got;

pineapple cubes
anniseed balls
pear drops
dolly mixtures
sherbert lemons
and lime/choc pillows

All lovely - should last me for weeks

Have a lovely time with your family Maggie 🙂

[ilove2patch]

Christmas Eve today in my household. 🙂

Chez it's never too soon to get the machine out. Mine will be on the table as soon as the family go home on Friday! lol As to what to make first....open the book at a random page & go for it! :^O

[****merlin*****]

oooooooh christmas eve

how exciting

i shall bid you all a very merry christmas then maggie, incase you are not here

early to bed, santa IS still watching!!

he is working overtime this year for you:-D

[*chez*]

I may have solved my own dilema..The Cath Kidston book comes with a kit.. and it needs some embroidery doing before the machine comes out..

I can leave the quality street on the table while I do that in the arm chair!

[ilove2patch]

That's sorted then Chez.:-)

The turkey is thawing for tomorrow & I think everything else is sorted. I can't wait to see my little people & my big people too.:-D

They know Santa doesn't come again tonight (the tooth fairy does;-)) All the presents under the tree are from Granny.
