I love the hexes and ripples, I have no tips for flying as I tend to just bite the bullet and get on and put up with teh nerves... after all its worth it to go somewhere for a fantastic break.... mind you I haven't flown somewhere on holiday for 12 years so who am I to give advice! lol

Have a fab holiday
X Alex

bachs rescue remedy, you can get it in sweet form now too. perfect for calming. (not just when flying, good for when the children are shreiking too......)
hope you have a lovely trip, and love the crochet, I've just started a ripple sample, I'm very impressed you've done a whole cushion xx

Sorry no tips for flying, haven't been on a plane for 18 years. But I have bought new crochet books and get so engrossed I look up and it's gone dark!!

Well done on the Hexes, my blankie is nearly done, on to the Ripple next!

Happy Holidays. xx

The cushion is beautiful - the colours are really pretty. I am petrified of flying too - so glad we haven't booked our holiday yet, so I don't have to start worrying yet about flying. I don't have any tips really, I just breathe deeply and buy a magazine at the airport and read every page from start to finish. I buy a couple of drinks on the plane, which helps to calm my nerves and I just keep thinking - we'll be there soon....

I really hope you enjoy your holiday, Lynne
