I think we all deserve a laugh!

Dawn is having a wee challenge on her blog - with a difference! "All you have to do is take a photo of your crafting space/room and if you're in the photo even better (and if you have any furry crafting buddies I would love to see them too~!!!" I couldn't be in it as I was taking the photo, so Poppy kindly took my place! As you can see, I have the worst craft space ever (yes, this is my spare room floor!) and should win on pity alone!! We were hoping to move this year but the flippin' 'credit crunch' put paid to that and our house wouldn't sell so we're stuck! I say 'we' as Jamie is always asking me to put it away but I can't possibly!! Bless him!

Also, do you have snow where you are? I have never seen snow like this in October, especially in the south! Here's the views from my house, it's so pretty!


One more thing, I've just finished a cross stitch I started a couple of months ago and I thought I'd show you! I got it off Ebay and I think it applies to lots of us!

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my waffle!

Hey Beth!

well you have a lot of stash and who doesn't, it must be Poppy's paradise - they're so inquisitive!
She is adorable.
Hope you do get your house sold in the future.

Oh no Beth.. if I was to enter you wouldn't win! lol your craft space is far to grand for me.. I don't have any craft space - boo hoo :-( I sit and colour on my sofa and my storage is.. well everywhere.. paper storage in my bedroom.. small ikea unit in my dining room, books of papers in spare draws in my living room.. stamps everywhere! I am green with envy seeing your spare room floor! he he So sorry to hear about your move and we was also hoping to have a loft conversion some time but it's now on hold and some of the deposit we did have has gone on bills.. sob sob. Love your cross stitching and that's another thing hubbie has just been moaning about on the phone.. too many shoes in the hallway..lol! Hugs, Nikki x

Hi Beth, well done on completing your cross stitch - it looks beautiful. Wow look at all that snow (I don't mind it when I haven't got to drive in it). Poor thing having to craft on the floor. My space is small but at least I have a table and a few small units. Give poppy a cuddle for me. Lots of love, Denise x

We didnt have any snow in Southampton at all and we're only 40 mins down the road! Huff! Well done on your cross stitch - I've done a few in the past and have kept it a big secret too. It's just not very cool is it?! ;o)
