well after agreeing that its cheaper to get this side of christmas im bidding on a couple more, there smaller projects than potter so maybe be nice to have a change sometimes *thats my excuse and im sticking to it:D
just got to find and alphbect that i can do the poem in and then thats on the way sort of

just editing to say oh thank you how big is the lily? it does look quite big oh its lovely to have gone from ''oh lord what can i do...to wow its coming together thank you for all your help :T:T
and my list has got longer wohoo :rotfl:just won this on fleabay too as ive always wanted to do one but didnt want bride and groom type as hubby became ill 6 months after we got married and is still a very ill man 5 years later, he finds our wedding photos hard as he has changed in looks so much, his illness has caused him to go from a fit 11 1/2 stone to walking with a stick, peg fed ect and under 7 stone, but we are happy in our own way and i wouldnt be with out him so im hoping he will like this design

You should do it anyway. My late husband only had a stick when we married and was profoundly deaf. So I done us a wee mini cross stitch for our wedding - he had a stick in - put it in the coffin when whe died so can't show piccy.

He had a peg in when died and a whole heap of complications. If you need anyone to talk to you know where I am. Seeing your message brought back alot of memories. Keep strong but know we are here.

PS the floral alphabet was done in his memory.

Well, after a frantic week of work, children and sewing - I've finished my wedding sampler :-)

Here it is!

Just got to get it framed now, there is a really good man at my local market on Saturdays who does made to measure really good value - I think it always looks so lovely to have a frame made the right size rather than try and fit it to a commercial one. I hope they like it...

It's absolutely lovely, and so well stitched :T. Is it a Michael Powell ? I keep looking at them and might be tempted to get the one with the red flowers .

IMPORTANT REALISATION - with the recession continuing, and the price of Cotton rising lots, and with the new year VAT rise, i think it's our duty to build our stashes to see us through the lean times to come!
So it's practially Money Saving to stock up our cupboards now!! :rotfl: :T

Damn that is a very clever idea! And one which is very persuasive too!:T

Yes, its Michael Powell - he's my favourite! I've done another one by him, not framed yet, but must get around to it... See linky

Also, has anyone else got this months Cross Stitcher? I love the new look and have been really inspired by this months designs. I've done a couple of small bits over the last 3 days, one for a new baby and the other for my childminder as a Christmas present. The phrase is "God is Love" in Welsh. I used the free kit bits, the table linen pattern and the alphabet at the back. My MIL now wants half a dozen for the Welsh side of my family.....

Hubby loves my rediscovered love of sewing in the evenings, means he gets to watch the rugby in peace :-)
