    Hi girls!
    Just popping in to say hello from rainy Centre Parcs in Elvedon. :wave:
    Have free Wifi in the villa so had to check in and see what's happening. Soooo happy for you, *Louise*! :T :dance: Well done. It looks totally stunning. And I'm so impressed with how quickly you've stitched it.

    I've brought my stitching with me, but given the amount of booze the others have brought along, I'm not sure how much I'll get done. Still, the pool, sauna and forest is enough to distract me anyway. ;)

    Will log in again tomorrow and say hello then. :)

    Thanks to all the girls in the Cross Stitch Cafe! You're all fantastic! :A
  • Louise, that is absolutely stunning, shame they don't have a faint emote on here. It's huge!

    The detail is amazing! :beer:

    Well done *Louise* -it looks stunning :D

    nmm -ooooohhhh that offer looks interesting :p

    Well I have done NO stitching today :mad: -I decided to throw myself down the stairs this morning (if you heard thunder -now you know what it was)
    it seems my left arm took the brunt of it :( -but at least it wasn't my right side -so tomorrow I will try and see if my left arm can hold the frame if I prop it on cushions ;)

    Mum is all excited as she finished adding the backstitch to her "bird table" so now she can start her photo stitch ....
    right off to bed-have a great weekend everyone

    Chuffed to bits, off to start sorting the threads, chart etc for Stealing the Moon, probs won't get any stitching done on it until tomorrow.

    Wow Louise its gorgeous! I got a bit of a shock when I saw your DS with it, its much bigger than I thought! Have you thought what kind of frame you are going to go for?

    I think im going to try a HAE Storykeep, wheres the best place to buy the 25 count linen you need? Also for their designs would you use 2 strands of thread or one? Ive googled it but seem to find half saying 2 and half saying 1!

    Also is it just the same as using aida?

    Sorry about all the questions!
  • mrsm oh dear i hope you are feeling lots better soon

    bubbles i still have a parcel to send to you but im waiting for hubby to get paid on friday and will send it straight out to you
