It's time for my monthly update on what I've got done on the Winter Stitching list. I've added a fair few items in, and changed my mind about a few items so they've come out, so I've had to renumber! By the way, can anyone tell me how you do that crossing out thing? I've also added in general crafts as I was getting confused having this list and a separateChristmas list, I hope that's OK!

you have done well... your list is so long... Okay.. so to cross out (you are going to kick yourself)... when you write your post you have a tool bar on the top of the post page... the 8th one in from the left has ABC crossed out.... just highlight what you want crossed out and press the button....
