Hi Natc,

give me a few hours for a rummage, I'm pretty sure I've got a couple of baby charts from when my neices and nephews were babies. I'll post pics and if you like them I can help (if you know what I mean ;)).

The price for that kit you showed us is extortionate, I hate being conned :mad:

I'm so sorry, I must have got rid of my baby charts (the youngest "baby" was 16 yesterday !). But I did find this freebie, if it's any use:

My Mum did that kit a few years ago, it's hanging on her wall. If you give me a couple of days I'll see if she still has the chart.

Thanks for the offer but I have the chart downloaded and buying the threads will cost nearly £20. I have found the whole kit for £20 delivered so might aswell go for that and get the fabric thrown in.

Does it look nice once stitched and framed?

I really do appreciate the offer though, thanks. :A

Sorry have been awol or a few days - have been very busy with school work and housework and ds has had slapped cheek and been mega clingy (and not sleeping aaaaargh!)

My DS had that last year, I'd never heard of it before that either! Fortunately he wasn't too bad with it, fingers crossed your DS gets better quickly too.

I like the chart too shelly, it is pretty. All the pictures I've done have been pretty dull boring colours (except for the quilt letter which I really enjoyed!). I bet it will be fun to do that like chicky said, there are lots of really nice colours in it.

*Louise* - Glad your picture is getting framed, it was beautiful. Can we see a piccy when you get it back from the framers? I bet it will look amazing. I still haven't got round to framing my polar bears. Keep promising myself I will do it this month, but then something appears on the grabbit boards that I absolutely must have :rotfl:. I swear this website costs me as much as it saves me!

Chickywiggle - New nephew is gorgeous! Big hello to him.

It looks lovely on Mum's wall, even nicer than the pic on the kit. She really enjoyed stitching it, I hope you do too.

Thanks Linda.

I have just ordered it! Even though it's a xmas present from hubby I have ordered it now because I'm paranoid it will suddenly not be available nearer xmas time :rotfl:

If anyone is interested I got the download from here http://picasaweb.google.com/rosred80/BucillaDiamondAvenue#

Though for me a combination of the chart not printing well and the cost of the threads made the deal I got (£20 delivered) a much better one.
