Do lots of you like to stitch heaven and earth designs? I had a load sent to me before but I never got past the AGH THEY ARE HUGE so they have sat on my PC un-printed lol...

They look lovely but boy, can I get sooo many more little ones done in the time it takes me to do a biggie lol

Yay for big play areas that let your cildren play all day (not really) and let you sit around being lazy, nattering to friends, drinking tea and stitching! Have got a little cat done and started on the next and final fairy - I really do like these holidays -am now planning my big six week holiday in stitching terms

Talking of HAED, has anyone ordered off their site?

They have 25% off right now but I wondered if it's worth it once you've converted to £... how do you pay? And are their charges for receiving parcels from the US?

Is it better just to order on sewalong site... not in a rush, barely half way through my Calendar Bears but have put off ordering a HAED for so long I have to order one now, the temptation of the Julie Fain designs is too much!!!

Hi guys, sorry I havent been good at posting for the last few days, when Im having a down day I cant even be bothered to speak to anyone. I have done a lot of stitching though. I have finished the 3 photo frames which are pictured below - I just have to get the photos and put them together:







A while ago my Dad mentioned buying me stuff to make a angel for my mum, he bought the pattern without telling me and when I told him there was nowhere that a blue picture would fit in the house nothing else happened until yesterday when a parcel arrived, he got some company in america to convert the colours and send all of the fabric, threads, metalics and beads. Now he wants it finished by June! I was up until 4am stitching this morning - with not knowing how the end result is going to look Im quite keen to get on wth it! He chose red and white as he is a sunderland fan!

This is where I am up to so far, it is a pattern by Mirabilia called Angel of the new Dawn:



This is what my dog thinks of all my stitching!



Thanks again to everyone that has helped me out with sending bits and pieces. I cant wait to start on my pretty treble clef now I have all the kit - so far I havent stitched a single thing for myself!

Rofl - can justify it cos all those UFOs have now been decluttered :Tto other stitchers and if I get the fairies done then they can be framed and put on wall instead of cluttering up a corner of the lounge. And dd decluttered a pile of books she didn't want anymore to the friends we met at the play area. And we decluttered 2 eggs to them and they decluttered 2 back to us! Pigpen would be proud of us really:rotfl:


AAARgh - have just posted this and Bubbles sneaked on with her pics, but I scrolled up and just saw the left hand bottom edge of her couch which looked instantly like a rather nasty case of piles (am so sorry but I screamed and thought the computer had been virused and had lots of dodgy pics on roflroflrofl)
