It's been cold and very wet here today, so tomorrow I think it's curl up and stitch time!

My letter in Cross Stitch Crazy
Got my copy of Cross Stitch Crazy today (issue 149). And my letter and picture of GD's birth sampler are in it!
It's not a brilliant picture of the mag, but you can see the sampler and the letter is above it. Have to scan it and keep a copy of it for when I do her scrapbook for her first birthday.

My Prize
Well they arrived - here's a snap of it all laid out on my sewing table. There's Country Companions, Cupcakes, birds, and loads of co-ordinating papers, buttons, flowers, stamps & ribbons.
I've put some to one side to give to my daughter; some into a box for when I make my GD's scrapbook for her first birthday and I've already made 2 cards this afternoon including one for our anniversary next week!
XS might have to wait for a couple of days while I play!

A GREAT week this time!
Hi all
On Thursday this week I heard that I've won £120 of DoCrafts goodies in a prize draw. They were posted out yesterday, so when they get here I'll post a picture of them all.
Then on Friday I had a phone call from QVC. I've had an on-going battle/discussion about my Slice die-cutter which is 18months old and had developed a fault with the card reader. When I contacted Making Memories (the manufacturer) they told me I'd have to pack it up, send it to US and pay for them to investigate if there was a fault before they'd tell me if it could be repaired. As it was out of their warranty I was prepared for it in some way, but wasn't too keen on the costs involved in shipping it to the US but they didn't have a way to investigate the problem here in the UK! When I contacted QVC, they contacted their distributor, and QVC have agreed not only that they will take it up with Making Memories, but they are sending me a BRAND NEW machine (complete with a hands free kit) at the original price!
Maybe I should go out an buy a lottery ticket today too!
My egyptian piece is coming on; I've been working on it slowly this week.
