I was trying to include little nebtions without mentioning names, as I'm not too sure of the protocol on the 'love bomb' strategy - I had never encountered such a thing until 'Froogs' and I were partnered in the competition. I included a hint for you in http://frugaldom.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/secret-santas-frugal-treasure-trove.html wher the fleece heart is in the middle of the photo. :) Loved everything, including the beautiful card.

You are all such lovely people offering great suggestions, support and to help out with bits and pieces, I am eternally grateful, and a little humbled, to say the least. <br /><br />The blog post really wasn't meant to come across in an 'asking for help' sort of a way, but this show of kindness demonstrates that our world isn't such a bad place. It shows that frugalers, fellow bloggers and friends are all one and the same - a fantastic bunch of people to know, even in a virtual world. :)NYK in Frugaldomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702184851369212088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872493581238440851.post-19078366637060379932012-11-29T12:45:34.626+00:002012-11-29T12:45:34.626+00:00Many thanks, WP, I'll get back to you via the ...Many thanks, WP, I'll get back to you via the forums/email. :)NYK in Frugaldomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702184851369212088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872493581238440851.post-53745874212451531102012-11-28T21:47:28.515+00:002012-11-28T21:47:28.515+00:00Another visitor here from Frugal Queen, will pop y...Another visitor here from Frugal Queen, will pop you a bag of bits in the post at the weekend!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238152842485677600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872493581238440851.post-78552185444627417692012-11-28T17:47:29.976+00:002012-11-28T17:47:29.976+00:00Email me and I will check my stock of hooks abd se...Email me and I will check my stock of hooks abd send you what i can.Welsh Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16352517492013275021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872493581238440851.post-68655943573325401922012-11-28T14:48:50.359+00:002012-11-28T14:48:50.359+00:00Could you use some pieces of felt, buttons, fabric...Could you use some pieces of felt, buttons, fabric pieces, etc?

(Giving my age away now!)How interesting - must do some research, thank for that. :)<br /><br />WP, I have no crochet hooks at all, everything like that was lost many years ago during my biggest move. Anything that's fairly chunky for loose squares would be ideal, as these will become shawls for the lady McGonks of the little clan. :)NYK in Frugaldomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01702184851369212088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872493581238440851.post-72785967985470400322012-11-27T17:50:19.173+00:002012-11-27T17:50:19.173+00:00what size crochet hook are you looking for?
