Mountainash You've done lots on that, its looking really nice Sorry you've not been well Hope you feel completely better soon...Hugs

Dorastar its really cute about your little girl

Thrifty I really glad you had such a nice day, and your bag chose a very good time to break

Keiss Its really nice seeing the progress on that its really coming along

You could try http://needlepricks.com
It has some charts on there that might cause offense to some people, though. You have been warned...;)

It took me 3 days to stitch, I think. I thought it would be much more than that, but the main body was black, so that was fairly was easy. The fiddy bit was the odd colours scattered around the body. Hope he likes it, but won't know until Christmas. Gosh, I'm organised!

Mountainash-hope you're feeling better soon. Your zebra is coming along nicely.

Hi guys, great work, i've not done any stitching since my quilt square, i must buy some aida and get some done. Well what an eventful day here, if anyone has seen the news today you'll know what i'm talking about i live 5 miles from Whitehaven, so it was very close to home for us, thankfully the worst we saw was lots of police cars and ambulances driving past. My thoughts are with the victims families

Dorastar

We are due up there on Friday as our friends have a house in Bootle (just below where it happened) thankfully they are all alright but shocked by events. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected and their families.

Thanks. I hope my brother will like it. My mum has bought another one to stitch for him, and she has Bubble Kids to stitch as a wedding sampler when they finally get married.
QI was fun. I like going to see the filming of TV shows. It's one of the perks of living in London, as most of the shows that are free are filmed around here.



The show was fab! We were 4 rows from the front and right in the centre. Just a few feet away from him...:T It was all trying out new material and seeing what works and what doesn't, so it wasn't as polished as when I saw him at the O2, but for £10, it was SO worth it!



Sounds like you had a wonderful day.
I'm catching up with Lost too. We have LOADS of episodes on the Sky+ and I've managed to avoid people talking about the ending so far. Must catch up soon, though!

Hi Ruth, sounds like you had a great night! For £10 its a bargain. I was a bit lost literally by the lost ending. Its nice but doesnt answer many questions. Wont say more!

Im a very lucky and grateful girl typing this. My brother was in Whitehaven today on business, he works for the ministry of defence and travels all over the country. He saw someone get shot. He was scared for his life so ran and got in his car and drove straight home without even telling his bosses. It was his wifes birthday today so they came down here at 5pm and he was still shaking. He is like a second dad to me (got 2 brothers, dont get on with the other) and the fact that if he had been a couple of seconds earlier he may not be here. That would have been horrible any time but on Lynns birthday.... My heart goes out to anyone who lost someone but I am so so greatful that it wasnt me.
