Can any one tell me why... when you show someone a project you're working on, the first thing they do is turn it over and look how neat the back it? (Or does that just happen to me?)

NEVER happened to me, I would be mortified if someone did, the back of mine is always messy lol:rotfl: Well, the big designs anyway

I have a feeling it's people who stitch themselves that tend to do that - nobody else cares (do they?)

Now I'm desperate to start something new. I have no idea what. Maybe the Juicy Lucy 'Eat cake for breakfast' or the Dictionary of Boots...I know I shouldn't be starting any more. I have far too many UFO's, but you all understand the urge to put that first stitch into a lovely new piece of aida/evenweave...right??? Help!

Absolutely.

See, the thing is you have so many unopened kits it is just neglectful to leave so many unstarted, you owe it to yourself and the kits to start at least one of them now

You could do a UFO once you have completed a 'neglected' kit lol:rotfl:

I knew I could count on you to [STRIKE]lead me astray[/STRIKE] help me decide.

No-one in my family (except slightly shaky grannie does it)

However, both my mum and now his mum have both turned them over and inspected the back...

I am quite neat, which is why I am so slow, but that's npt the point - the front is still much nicer!!!

Grr!

Mmmmm, both look great fun....if you feel peckish, then go for the cakes one....better for the figure than real ones!! :rotfl:

At the moment it is definitely cake weather, though tomorrow could well be boot weather!!!

Up to you really, but I would start with the cake one personally.

Have fun, whichever one you choose.

Looks like cakes one is the preferred one!

Cakes it is!!! Thanks for the feedback. Am marking out the gridlines now...how exciting!
