Now I remember why I don't bring my debit cards with me to work!

I know my debit card number/dates and security code off by heart, so that doesn't work for me :o:o

I desperately want to order this (and all the others in the series!) now:

But I keep telling myself I will NOT buy another kit until at least one of the current UFOs is finished......

Hi,

Thanks *Louise* for helping me post a picture. I hope you are right and the baby bears are easier to sew. I'm ashamed to admit I've been doing that picture (along with others) since Christmas and I just hit a block. Seeing it on here has made me want to finish it, so thanks :-)

I love the bra dictionary, but I'm trying not to start anything else until the bears are finished. I get side tracked too easily. I've had to stop myself from looking at the july sales so I don't buy any more kits!!!

I'm not sure if I should sign it with my initials & year somewhere, though. It's 11" high and 10.5" wide, so if I want to frame it in an 11" square frame, I think I'll have to stitch inside one of the squares. But where? Or should I not bother? Help!

I always initial and year date my projects, an artist always signs his work so why not you. Also put a label on back with some intresting facts - threads worked on, material, etc.

It looks a lot of fun your creation.

Kind wishes

I've tried to memorise my debit card numbers and failed miserably.

I've just seen this chart http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=62919&ww=on&do=search_results and I'm very tempted.

I saw that kit last week when looking for something else and was very tempted too, its beautiful. I had to stop myself because I had just spent nearly £30 on 4 kits on e-bay so £25 on just 1 was a bit too much for me.

That one caught my eye too :rotfl:-but Im a superstitious old fart who believes peacock feathers in the house are bad luck -so I can resist that one :j

I'm going to resist, as I've got what feels like a million UFO's sitting in my sewing box, charts galore for me to do and flicking through issue 151 of The World of Cross Stitch, 4 designs have caught my eye! :rolleyes: One is a 'Little Newton' design for a woman I work with who's pregnant!

There's certainly not enough hours in the day to do all the stiching I'd like to do. I think my boss migth have something to say if I sat at my desk sewing! Ummm, maybe for the last hour of my shift when everyone's gone home I could get away with it!!! :rotfl:

Also, I've got this kit to do as well http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi

This kit is mainly made up of half stitch - which I find very strange and lots of colour blending. I love a challenge that's fro sure!

No wonder, it's stunning.

I had never heard of peacock superstition until I stitched one a couple of years back, it was lovely, used gold metallic threads and beads - then my mum said 'oh you can't put a peacock on the wall, it's bad luck!'

It's sat in a box ever since :rolleyes::o
