Here is how much I have done so far, I started it last night and have done a little more this afternoon/evening.
It's lovely to stitc and there are not too many colours to keep changing either, the threads are Crescent Colours hand-dyed floss which I have never used before but love.
I didn't have a pattern so made up my own design and stitched it in a 6 x 3 inch design and split the design up into squares
I then added some beads and a tassle that I had and I think it turned out quite well, what do you think?
You cannot see the true beauty of these gorgeous crafted gifts, the blue beads on Frosty are so irridescent and the snowflake is loose so it is animated, the little cushion orni is so delicately stitched and finished so lovingly and the colours of the beads on the fob just match so well. 
I started to do the 2009 but have decided I don't like it and will frog that bit and put the Noel there instead tomorrow.
Below the boys went out for a cooked breakfast in a cafe in the park in Derby whilst us girls went and did some serious retail thereapy - they look like the three stooges!! From L to R is Jonathan my son, Bob my hubby and my Dad, Tony.
On the Saturday the kids went to Alton Park (below) dressed to kill and us oldies went to the lovely town of Leek and had a pub lunch out. From left to right Jonathan my son, Hannah my daughter and Christina my sons girlfriend.
Below is my daughter Hannah who has her Tanky (our chidlrens name for their grandad) wrapped around her little finger!! I wonder where she learned that from........???
