I'd just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. I hope it's filled with lots of lovely surprises and stitchy treats :o)
I am spending Christmas with my Dad. Unfortunately he has to have dialysis today, so I'll be busy cooking at home and waiting for him to get back so we can tuck into our Christmas dinner. He's been very sweet and has bought me a laptop for Christmas, so I'm very excited about that (as you can imagine!). It's also his 75th birthday on the 28th, so we're busy arranging a surprise family gathering for him, which he really hasn't got a clue about! I can't wait to see his face ;o)
I'll be offline whilst I'm at my Dad's, but will be back and signing on with my new laptop and hopefully a couple of stitching pics once I'm home again. Have a very Happy Christmas everybody!

Happy Boxing Day!
Howdy folks! I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas :o)
We had a lovely day - Andy & I went over to my Dad's (he's out of hospital & doing really well). We cooked a huge dinner & looked after him. We also found time to go around to my best friend Sharon's parents to say 'hi' as she, her hubbie & son Fraser are staying with them over Christmas. I had some lovely gifts - I had some gorgeous fabbie & Dinky Dyes silkies from Gill, in a Secret Santa exchange I received Just Nan's Snow Business, a magnetic needle tugger and a Tacky Bob. I also received some lovely non-stitchy goodies too. Dad gave me some money to buy some boots & also re-new my passport. Andy gave me a lop-eared bunny calendar (awww!), Pirates 2 DVD, a beautiful cashmere scarf and 'The Other Boleyn Girl' book which I've wanted to read for a while. Sharon gave me a lovely lipstick case which was engraved with a beautiful message about our friendship on (awwwww!), a Pirates 2 calendar, a cat shaped car tax disc holder and Fraser gave me a funky chunky purple pen & notebook. My boss gave me a gorgeous necklace & mirror compact. I had a sequinned purse & bling 'S' initial keyring from my cousin. Andy's mum gave me a pretty Christmas trinket box and my friend Mick gave me a Beatles calendar. We're having a restful day today at home, though will probably go for a walk by the sea this afternoon. Then tomorrow we'll be driving up to north London to see Andy's mum for the day.

I would like to wish all my online friends a happy, healthy and (stitchy) prosperous new year. Let's hope that 2007 is a good one :o)
