Sally - if you could email me with your address, I'll get something into the post for you!
I've hit a bit of a stitching slump since I finished my snowflake biscornu - I went back to my SB Family Sampler, but somehow I'm just not enjoying it
And then I went back to the biscornu I'm stitching in my lunch hour for the Basket of Biscornu SAL and discovered that I'm going to have to frog part that I stitched last week. 
I need to find something to cheer me up at the moment as I'm generally feeling a bit down, and in particular really not enjoying work. If I could figure out what I wanted to do, I'd apply for another job!
Maybe I should just take a break and start another 15 sided biscornu as I have a whole load of little ideas floating around my head!
Edited later to add:
Have you seen this?
Isn't it lovely? The designer is releasing the chart for one side every couple of days or so - I've downloaded 8 of them this afternoon!
And each little chart would make a lovely mini biscornu in its own right too!

Lesley, you should start a new project. This can help you to get out of your slump. And when you have a whole lot of little ideas for another 15 sided biscornu - then go for it!
Your ideas are superb, so i vote start something new and get the creative juices flowing.
Hope you are soon feeling brighter

A new project sounds ideal - just to lift your spirits a little. It's been a bit of a grey old start to the year hasn't it? Not much to smile about ... fingers crossed spring will soon be here. x
I agree, you should pull out a new project and get started on that. Stitching is meant to be enjoyed. Sorry you're not feeling the best, either--it's probably the weather and the time of year. Big hugs, and happy belated birthday wishes, too!
I always buy a bunch of yellow flowers about this time of year and put them on my desk -- absolutely the best cheer up medicine for me. Or you could start another super biscornu with Spring designs, that might help.
I am working on that Blackwork Biscornu from Stitch Creations, it is a fun little stitching project.
You make me feel guilty not even having finished my first biscornu. But I love that blackwork one!
Wow thank you Lesley! I have emailed you.
I'm with the others and think you should start something new:)
Hello Lesley,
Thank you for placing the picture of my blackwork biscornu and a link to my blog.
I like the biscornu with the pins. It is beautiful.
Greetings Anita.

Sorry to hear you've been a bit down. Me, I'm blaming the end-of-winter blues. Take care!
Congrats. to Sally on being the lucky winner.
Thanks for the link to that gorgeous biscornu.
If only I had the patience to do blackwork. I love the look of it but have yet to try doing it.
Feel better soon. Spring is just around the corner!
Hi Lesley, I agree with the others. Start something new, possibly something you wouldn't normally do which is a bit of fun. Something by Margaret Sherry for example. I have really enjoyed doing the Snowmen Biscornu from La Fee Rie this week (found it on the basket of biscornu)and she does some others. I will be doing the back to school one, even though as a teacher that is sometimes the last thing I want to think about!(will be adding your blog to my list). Come and visit mine sometime http://speedystitcher.blogspot.com
Hi Lesley
I agree with all of the above^^
reckon you should treat yourself to a bunch of daffs and make a start on another 15 sided biscornu - that blackwork one looks nice and quick (for the blackwork part at least) and you could soon be charging around the park with your camera and second biscornu in hand! I know when I'm in a slump, a nice quick design is always the best remedy because it gives instant gratification . . . or just browsing on other people's blogs and getting inspiration is also another booster.
Hope you'll find something to inspire you very soon.
