Thursdays thoughts for 8th Dec 2011

Ive popped over to Attic 24 to see what Lucy was up to and low and behold there's another amazing pattern by her that i want to complete !! But i have so much to do !!! decisions decisions ! 
here's her bunting .....


I'm sure if you take a peek at her blog as well this pattern will be on your list of things to do !!!
