    Thank you! :D
    It's from here: http://www.urban-cross-stitch.com/ and they do similar Banksy-style kits. They have a sale on at the moment too, so this kit was reduced to £10. Mum has bought a few to stitch for my brother as he's a huge Banksy fan.

    Hi folks,

    Sorry I wasn't around to party, but I've had the flu and am only just finding the energy to sit at the computer. Hope you all had a better Bank Holiday weekend than me :(

    Well, I would have partied if I'd had the strength. Following all your good advice, I got quite into the zebra last month so I think you'll see the visible difference that I was aiming for.

    Here is what he looked like when I started:

    and here's how he looks today (I've not touched him since last week cos of being ill):

    UFO-Zebra-2June2010.jpg

    I've only got the white and greys to do and a bit of outline backstitch, but he's on hold now until I've finished my square for the great quilt caper.

    Everyone's work is looking great, and Bubbles, I've got my fingers crossed for your next assessment thing - sorry, brain not working on full whack.

    Big Zen hugs to all who need and/or want them.
