    I have a wedding in July next year it is my brother in laws and they absolutely love the ME TO YOU bears, could any of you suggest where I could get a wedding picture from, all of the places I used to use have all disappeared. Many thanks.


    I can recommend sewandso as site to buy from. I'm sure the other ladies can recommend other sites too.

    They have this one
    http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=59399&ww=on&do=search_results
    Take out the word 'Our' and move the 'Wedding Day' over a bit?

    Or this one..
    http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=34964&ww=on&do=search_results

    Last but not least, this one... http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=29574&ww=on&do=search_results

    Morning all

    Nice to see someone else encouraging folks to buy new kits -so its not just me leading folks astray with links :rotfl:
    Well -here is this weeks progress:-
    last week:-
    inher1august.th.jpg
    This week :-
    inher8aug.th.jpg
    Im getting there:j-Im sure that this thread -and thoughts of "when" I get to start a new design are what is spurring me on :T
    Hubby keeps telling me to get the threads for that big orange lady if I want to start it next :eek:Im resisting -just ..... I WILL get that celtic lady finished first I WILL *must keep repeating that* -then I will have crossed 3 UFOs off -leaving the some bunny to love, a native American Indian one, and that "might" be it :A:rotfl:
    Amazingly hubby picked up his x-stitch for the first time in ages yesterday :T-he is doing an owl in flight and has just the background to do I think -its gorgeous ...so Im really thrilled he has picked it up again -we are popping out today to price up a lamp for him to work under in the evenings ;)
    Right I had better get off, make a cuppa and settle down to get on with some more sewing :D-hope everyone is well -glad to see you back Jintyb -hope you are up to some sewing soon ;)

    Thanks everyone...Im getting there :jthing is every time I undo her I remember how much I love her... still its for mum and will go much better in her house -so I WILL be able to give it away.....

    ooohhhh *Louise* how lovely to start a nice new piece of fabric -*not jealous really* :rotfl:
    Its very strange that you have posted a pic of your chart, as I took a pic of the orange lady chart the other day :p
    Not sure how clear it is unless you click to get a bigger pic-
    orangeladychart.th.jpg

    its like a magic eye picture-not helped by them using a symbol for all the unsewn fabric at the back -I think they are expecting me to x-stitch the background white :eek: :D -not on my nelly will I -its going on cream/ivory fabric and being left blank ;)-When I get around to starting her Im probably going to start off centre and do her face first.
    Right I had better get back to mums lady -the sooner Im done the sooner I can get on with something else :j
    Happy sewing everyone :D
