Just a quick one to say that Wimblebees are closing down and everything is 50% off on their website.

Am v tempted to buy myself a HAED to put on one side for when I feel a bit more confident.

THANK YOUUUUU Mountain Ash!!! Total price of basket - £38.99........ discount £20.46!!!! total £20.48.

For that I got:
DMC Plastic Thread Bobbins (Pack of 28)
2x Basic Bookmark - Ivory
DMC 14ct Magic Guide Aida (Ecru) 14" x 18" (35 x 45cm)
DMC 14ct Magic Guide Aida (Ecru) 20" x 30" (50 x 75cm)
DMC 14ct Magic Guide Aida (White) 14" x 18" (35 x 45cm)
Heaven and Earth Designs - Faery Tales

Just worked out how hugeeee the faery tales will be - very scared - but have admired it for ages..... luckily I have a new large roll of aida - unless anyone knows of a cheap place for magic aida? it needs to be approx 42.5" x 41" as I'd like to do it on 14ct aida........ still not confident enough to venture onto evenweave with a chart that complex. perhaps i ought to have got the rolling frame too.....arggg too late now I don't want to pay p&p again.

p.s...... they still have some Afghans in so a fabby price if anyone is looking.

Ohhhh I love it!!! Hubby is hanging over my shoulder encouraging me LOL :rotfl::rotfl:(Think he wants me occupied so he can have the telly )

I would prob do it on 14ct as well. My rule of thumb is if you can't see the background...aida will do!:D

Could you just buy a pen and mark off the squares yourself? Save the cost on the magic aida.

I ordered a whole bunch of stuff for me & my mum. Thought I could do her a stitchy hamper for christmas. Got some fabric, door plates, keyrings, clover cutter (lost my other 2!), tweezers, handbag mirror and some other bits which I've forgotten already! Oooops!

*Louise*

I'm trying but it's not letting me buy stuff!!

My password won't work, resend password isn't sending, re-registered and it says email is already on system, tried a different email, apparently THAT is on the system as well and it won't send a password reminder for that either

Pffft

Do you think somebody's trying to tell you something Louise!!! :rotfl:

Have resisted, but then I did get my lurrvly light today...sooo cute!

Going to set up my thread organizer for the Summer Lady tomorrow...hopefully the threads will come in time..Sew&so are soooo much faster than Across Town...but not as cheap where the threads are concerned !

Off to bed now...feeling quite shattered tonight.

Night, night, don't spend tooo much!!

Thanks Mountain Ash have ordered a floss organiser for my huge project and a fabric marker. Thanks for the heads up!
