    Wow maria the mr men are fab you certainly did stitch that very fast. I can't wait to see your next project my oh comes from liverpool and him and his dad and my boys all support liverpool.

    Not made a lot of progress on my calendar bears as i wasn't very well this week but i'll post an update later.

    Some beautiful projects being stitched at the moment. Louise you are really cracking on with yours.

    I can see it is super addicting to view pictures of other people's UFOs! In order to keep myself from stitching rather than studying today, I have hidden my cross stitch in the backseat of my van. ;)
    May your needle stay threaded, your stitches even, and may the goddess keep your tangles far away. :)

    I'm No36 in a cross stitch challenge I don't quite understand yet, but my goal is to be done all the stitches on my UFO before Christmastime! :cool:

    jlp - you definitely have to allocate yourself some stitching time! I do most of mine in the evening. The way I see it, hubby finishes work at 5pm..why should I slog the evening away!! So once our three are in bed the night is my own :D

    Aargh just rushed home from work hoping to catch the end of it and it's finished! I bet it was brilliant to watch. I caught the score mid afternoon when he was 2 sets down, couldn't quite believe it! Was hoping he'd go out in the first round too, shame he pulled it back :rotfl:

    Can't wait for the catch up show tonight!
    :xmastree:What a splendid idea, this Christmas sounds fun. I fully endorse it, let's try it at once!:xmastree:

    thats exactly what i do i get everything done before the biggest one goes to bed at 7 and then it is my time for stitching. i always have my bath before then as well so i dont have to stop to get clean lol
