    That range is so beautiful. How are you finding it? It looks as if they are difficult and have loads of similar colours. I'm sure it will be beautiful when it's done how far along are you?

    Hi guys, how do you all remember what you want to say to people? I have just read 3 pages and cant remember half of the posts I wanted to reply to!
    Hi Bubbles, hopefully I can help with this one. When you see a post that you want to respond to, you can click the little button to the right of the 'Quote' button at the bottom right of the post.

    You can do this to multiple posts as it'll 'remember' them for you.

    When you click reply, all (up to three) the posts you selected will appear as quotes within your reply box. You can then reply as you want to. I also tend to remove the information that I don't need from within between the '[ QUOTE ] & [ /QUOTE ]' (minus the spaces) markers.

    I hope that makes sense. :o

    Just so you know, this only works for up to 3 posts.

    Don't go through like I did and quote loads only to get to the end and not have them and not be able to remember who you wanted to respond to.

    Ooh that''s the one I liked too although I like a lot of that series - again patience, time and money would be required so am saving pennies for now.

    Have stitched hard today whilst watching our team lose at rugby to our arch rivals grrrr. Have stitched my last two fairies and got to backstitch them now. Just got to do all fairy wings in metallic, grassy floor and flowers and a couple of toadstools - Emily is well impressed with me although dh is wondering whether I'll ever do any house work again!

    Good Eveing Ladies

    I am a bit of a lurker, so thought I would introduce myself, I used to be a cross stitcher (yers ago) and have not picked anything up in a very long time but this year I have promised myself to craft for Xmas so I have started already on a pressie, this is the pattern

    http://www.amazon.com/Stitch-Commandments-Stress-Reduction-Janlynn/dp/B0019IPEIA%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJJQEE7ANBE5QSHGA%26tag%3Dcleansearc-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0019IPEIA

    and this is where I am at but only just started, its much bigger than I was expecting (thats what happens when you dont read the sizes)

    Well my mum is now working on her "stitch -a-photo" apparently its really emotional as its a picture of my sis (the one we lost 18 months ago) -it was taken at my wedding and mum is loving it as she has done the lips and chin and it is really obvious who it is ...although bless mums socks as she "feels like she is sticking the needle in sis's face" :o

    Sorry to hear about your sister. Not surprised your mum is feeling emotional stitching it, it will be an extra special feeling when she finishes it though and Im sure your sister would be proud, and probably laughing about your mum stabbing her face and feeling funny about it! In the futue I would love to do a cross stitch of my dog but its a long way off, it will be 2 much brown for me to contemplate until I feel more patient! Where is it everyone gets them changed to patterns? I have seen a few on the net that dont look too good and others that look just like the photo.
