I've decided to treat myself to a Christmas cross stitch as a well done gift to me from me. So fun online shopping starts tomorrow - I think I'm going to need my rest for that so bed now Xmas Grin

That's great Crazy, thinking of rewarding myself for being fabulous with something from RexLondon Grin

Ahem did that mean that Dh had a slight longing for you for other purposes other than sewing Fluffy

Ooh...noooo! But when I'm concentrating on something I can't hear people talking to me. Years of studying / working in busy places have taught me how to close my ears. So he'll talk to me and I have no clue what he's said. If I even know he's spoken! 😂

This one is sooooo slow!

I like to use a whole thread rather than keep bits, so I end up all over the place.

Are you me? I do this to DH all the time. I can sometimes see his mouth opening and closing and am vaguely aware that some noise is coming out, but I don't hear a thing! Grin

DH has demanded I spend the evening with him tonight rather than cross stitching Grin

Last day of juggling everything! I am dropping my work devices off at school at 1pm and after that I am collapsing in a heap!

Your Christmas shop is coming along fab fluffy

I second the recommendation of premier seeds, so cheap but fab germination rates :)
