This snow that has come up the east coast kept me inside all day. But hopefully I can get out in the morning and get a few things!
Congratulations on your shopping success!

It may have been a brief shopping spree, but it sounds like a successful 1.

Brave you are -I'm not at all keen to venture near any shops. Have been gardening lots and would rather shop online to avoid crowds. Have a couple of 'shops' left to do with my Embroidery Library Voucher and one from Julia's Needle as well. Rather drink milk out of a box when I run out of food supplies. Enough fabric here to last the rest of my life, most likely, if I were to actually take time to put into some projects. Good on you, impressing your DH with your speed readiness, though -hope he remembers all year :)

Mine suffered the same type of shock yesterday morning.We got the the shop before it was due to open but they were putting the stock outside & we were allowed inside.About 5 mins later I was in the car with reels of cotton .I can spend up to hour in there at times, because you have to wait for your turn ,& measuring & cutting takes more time.

Merry Christmas Monika - wow! I hope your hubby was greatly impressed, I know I was. If you know where you are going and what you want then it should only take a while to shop, shouldn't it?

I'm off to buy some good pinking shears this week, most probably end up at Spotlight (the only big haberdashery store in Newcastle) again and I hate the parking facilities there.

Love Chris
