Oh good *wipes brow*, more people who haven't started yet. I was really beginning to panic .

[Couperwife]

its ok, you dont need to panic until its 3 days to go, and you havent started yet

[A chickychickychick-ENN!!]

With all these early birds, are people posting and opening early or are we being good and having a mass opening later in the summer?

[Helly Welly]

Even if i finish early, i'm not sending mine until a week before the opening date. I want us all to open at roughly the same time, it's more fun that way.

[BarbaraJ]

I have nearly all my stuff ready to make my item having not made anything before bit unsure if what i make will be enough

[craftyhunnypie]

I started mine today - phew!

I was hoping it was for me.

[ubereglu]

Started mine today! Finally had time and inspiration!

[Cooks]

when are we supposed to be posting off the gifts???

[Plum]

Well Cookie, think if one arrived through your letterbox, how long could you look at it before opening it. Then deduct the number of days from 3rd August (? or date we are supposed to open them) take off a couple of days for post and that is when we send.

 

In my case it would be 1st August

[Cooks]

true, but I was wondering if there were any bank holidays that we need to consider?? that would hold up delivery? Is there one at the beginning of August??

[Fizzle Knit]

No BH's in England, not sure about Scotland, or Wales. Think my PM said they have to arrive 2nd August.

I made one of the things today - I have an unspecified number of other things to make,

[craftyhunnypie]

Yes, 2nd of August is official opening day folks! My hubby is getting his gift made this weekend.

How's everyone getting along?

Be afraid, be very afraid - as hubby is busy in his workshop shed making something. I do like the sound of what he's making though.

Mine is nearly finished.

I can see it being a creative day today in OH's shed.
