Stitch St Nick Exchange

Hello!
I hope everyone has had a good week, I really do have to put my knitting needles down and read some blogs - but whilst I am motivated I need to seize the opportunity.
On a cross stitch related note...I mentioned amongst other things that I hoped to do a Christmas exchange after enjoying my first exchange (with Sara) so much.  I hope some of you will join us! I am happy to just have an exchange with one other person, but the more the merrier. At the moment, it is me and Tiki :) It is Tiki's first exchange and she has suggested Santa themed items. Which is fine with me.  So who else is going to join us....come on...you know you want to!
I have never organised one before and I am not sure what the usual rules are but my only rules are: You must post your item by the 1st December (that way there is a chance we will all get ours in time for Christmas).It must be Santa themed.You mustn't post photo's of it until the person has received it.If for some reason you have to drop o…

Village location

It has been 3 days since I changed over to wordpress from blogger and I feel like I have moved into a village from a town. I have finally worked out how to put an RSS feed onto this blog from my new one and of course I still stop by here to see what everyone is up to on my blogroll.

So I just wanted to give everyone a big wave!!

Apologies for the quality of the wave! lol

A follower?..Me!

Well in celebration of my first and only follower I have added a picture to my profile! Shocking.  I have also just followed all the people who are stitching this weekend as part of IHSW!! Yes! All 55 of them :)

I would just like to say that there are so many talented stitchers out there who have already produced such beautiful work that it makes me proud to be a stitcher.
