Yesterday was the Derby meet up of the Crafty Natter group. I really looked forward to this as I had never been to a meet up before and I was not disappointed. It was great fun and I met lots of nice people that I hope to meet again soon. Lots and lots of laughter and fun, two pieces of Tammy's chocolate fudge cake (extra yummy I can assure you) and lots and lots of goodies.
I was very good and only spent £15 but I think you will agree I got good value.
I also did 2 swaps and got these two lovely charts
There was a lovely little chart for each and everyone of us from Colly as a memento of the day.
And last but certainly not least was a wonderful Goody Bag from Hayley.
Missing from the picture of my lovely goodies was a big tube of Maltesers. These just happen to be hubbies favourites so as soon as he saw them they were lost - though I know he will share them - LOL more than his life is worth not too.
On the stitching front I have not got a lot done but I have made some progress on LHN Winter Whites and as I am enjoying this at the moment I am going to stick with it.

I hope everyone else has enjoyed their weekend as much as I have.
xxmay your frogs stay in their ponds

And I am shocked...why I don't know, but I find it wonderful that your stitching a LHN :o) It just seems I guess that all your projects are always so intricate and LHN is far from intricate (although you KNOW I love LHN!)
