  • It's from World of Cross-stitching Issue 115, Oct 06.

    I can ;);) you if you would like to send over your address.


    Thanks for this but my indecisive mum has now decided she doesn't want poppies but wants a wild flower combination not in a vase maybe with a cottage! As of yet I am yet to find anything! I have sent her round the shops looking for something so god knows what she will come back with!!

    Having done much stitching recently as have been knocking down walls in my bathroom and just want to veg out in front of the tv afterwards as its hard work! And this weekend I am going to see Muse in Manchester so VERRRRRRRRRRRRRY excited about that! Hopefully will be able to crack on with getting some more bits finished very soon! Only 16 weeks until christmas after all!!!
    Keep on comping!

    2018 wins: £600
    2019 wins: £186

    My cards arrived this morning and I've got the house to myself this evening to crack on with one of the thank you cards as one of my physios leaves next Wed so hoping to finish it before then. It's not too big or complicated so shouldn't be a problem. Fingers crossed.

    Will start having a look for my next big project for after baby arrives. Not sure what I even fancy doing!!

    Hi ladies.

    No stitching done again this week but should get started again monday as hubby is back to work.
    Though will have to stop again soon as I got the job I went for! :j It's only temporary but if after a month there is still work I'll be kept on. They have temp staff there who started in January so they sound busy.
    :heart2: Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without :heart2:
  • Well done on the job Shelly xx

    Thanks. I'm excited but scared too. It's in a small factory that makes fabric and wallpaper sample books and looked like nice clean work when I was shown around.

  • Hi guys, I still havent done any stitching but have decided Moday is going to be the day when I must start stitching again, its been too long. Plus we have relatives from Australia coming over and I was to be able to show off my treble clef! As for nonstitching things, Im struggling with my prolapse today but on the good side my bipolar is being managed better and im feeling less sick so I have no excuse for not stitching on monday!

    I spent £2 in the mad about cards sale today getting things to jazz up cards I stitch, my mum was geting some bits and pices and loads of it was only 25p so I am really happy that I could afford something!

    I find looking in the magazines is a good incentive, thats where I found the treble clef, scoure all the adverts, get a 5 issues for a fiver subscription and you will probably find something advertised which she would like. I have seen a few adverts in them for a cottage surrounded by wild flowers.

    However she wouldnt fit in anywhere and cant think of anyone who would like her as a gift and cant afford her so all is well. :rotfl:

    I have finished the birthday card for Adem and have washed both of them, when pressed I will add them to my photobucket album and brag about them!

    I have done no school work ready for Tuesday, not that I can do an awful lot until I know the level of my groups but think I may have a nosy through my school bag or then again I may have a bash at Rocky point or do a bit more of my scarf. Mmmh decisions decisions:D
    Well done on the job shelly
    Bubbles may have a look at the card site now:)
