and folks it official -hubby is a true stitcher now -when I mentioned the number I was after -he told me what colour it was:rotfl:

HELP!

Are there any nice people out there who by chance have some DMC Thread 437 (pale dusky brown) lying about that they don't need?? I need literally like 4 strands of it to finish off my tiger cub!!!!! :mad::mad::mad: but its not a colour I'm likely to use again so was just wondering if anyone had any spare instead of ordering another load of it then having it laying about unused. .

I have every colour - I am happy to send you some, just pm me

Well B*m

I guess Im "granny" then -I wil be 38 on the 22nd of December ....

I think I am the "granny" I am already 38 - turned it in July 18th :eek: . I have been cross stitching now for over 20 years. I have been a collector of both cross stitcher (UK) and cross stitch collection since issue 1. I lost a few in a house fire and still sorting through what got saved. Also lost pictures I had up in the house. I used to do alot for other people - wedding samplers, birth samplers and of course the free wee kits in the magazines. Just now I am concentrating on the floral alphabet - each letter feels like a new kit.

Well better get on with it. Love this forum, don't have many friends around so feel less alone. Hubby works night shift.

Kind wishes to all and happy stitching

Tigerlily - Johnsons Crafts (google it) have good threads and they are 45p each at the minute.

Hoping to find a new chart to start soon as the tiger cub is done.

I missed that part too. Must read more carefully!

When sorting through some of my kit earlier, I found this Margaret Sherry Cattitudes design that I've finished and never had framed, so will do that this week.

Someone (sorry can't remember who) posted this link the other week

http://www.across-town-stitching.talktalk.net/

DMC threads are 30p each or as little as £52 for 200 :j

Louise ordered some and they ARE genuine DMC skeins
so I have ordered 213 skeins for my my next 3 charts

Sweetcarer -we can be the "old farts" of the group together then

I have to confess that I have popped on here to get a break from all the bl**ping backstitch on mums pressie -I am going crossed eyed -and using quite a lot of rude words :rotfl:
I was thinking about doing another similar one for mum for next year -that is the partner to this one...... I don't see me doing it now

nmm

Ruth_Honey no plans for my 30th, we don't drink or go out and no family near us so it'll be the same as an other day here.

*Louise* i do find doing the background easier as its big chunks of the same colour in half stitch, the lions will take ages as its a few stitches of one colour then a few of the other as you can imagine :rotfl:

Misty that cat is adorable.

I'm getting the stitching bug again which i'm pleased about only i keep seeing lots of kits i want, at this rate i may have about 20 UFO's :rotfl:
