        Thank you Dianne just having fun making some little things.😊oh thank you Diannne I am bit worried about this one they don't seem to be very organised. I was thinking of you on Friday as I went into a lovely craft shop that do quilting and i asked them if they did lessons on cross stitching they don't but said i can pop in there and someone might be able to help.😊💕💕

        @Michelle M: Wish you could pop over to Scotland Michelle and I could give you a few tips to get you started! I found the tutorials on the Bothy Threads website were all I really needed. Your knitting keeps you fully occupied though! I still miss knitting but my arm and hands don’t like it unfortunately. 💕

        @Dianne S: ohh I would love that Dianne but I think I will wait until it's a wee bit warmer.lol.😂😂I will have another look at Bothy as I have those lovely Blue Heeler ones to do when I get experienced. I know you use the magnifier around your neck too. I still manage to knit but tend to knit hats and smaller garments as well.😊😊Have you started your next cross stitch you will have to post pictures so we can follow you.😊💕💕

        @Sue C: sometimes if I use Michaels ipad it will let me see photos on Facebook so will try again.😊yes on the 14th March I am having gynae surgery and have to stay in 4 to 5 days as they call it major surgery. I am hoping they can work out what pain relief they can give me as I am allergic to everything so a wee bit nervous.😏Hope your daughters recovery is going well, sending lots of love.💕💕

        @Michelle M: how was your break Michelle? Where did you stay after Port Macquarie and on the way home. It is a beautiful day here today. We had a 2metre diamond python in the garden yesterday . Greg put him in a bucket and we took it around and put it in the bush, I don’t know how he picked him up, I couldn’t even walk past him though I must have when I was going down to do some gardening. I don’t know where he came from . There is bushe across the road.

        @Michelle M: I am pleased he is a lot better. You can message or ring me any time. I just wish I was closer to help you. I have filled my crate, and I still have a couple of cupboards for new wool if I see it.

        Hi Elaine I ended up making 3 hats for Dave but just gave him the 2 in the picture. The other ones were for his wife and daughters and I just managed to finish the cream one but I didn't take any pom poms with me so Michael had to make that one.lol.😊😊Dave said the girls loved them and had fun swopping them, so that was nice. Oh I'm glad Bella had a lovely birthday and I hope you have some lovely photos. I have been thinking of you and hope your test results were good.😊😊💕💕
