How's everyone's stitching coming along this weekend?

Went to the framers today to get the christmas gifts framed - it's costing £21 for the Summer lady and £17 each for the Meerkats and Fanciful Fairy.

Hopefully will get some peace to do some stitching tonight

I know - it seems large pieces are really reasonable but smaller ones just aren't worth the cost of getting them done

Ah well - tis done now, will check out online places in future

Hello ladies :wave:

Sorry I haven't been on for a few days - life, ya know?

Speaking of which, it would probably be a good idea to make two or three of you who are members of the Flickr Group, Admins.

That would mean that you could accept member invites and generally sort the group stuff.

Any volunteers or shall I just wield my Moderator button and appoint some?

I'm happy to be an Admin on Flickr.

My stitching day went well yesterday, I also received my (£34 with postage) from Frame Express for the baby sampler, so I spent a little bit of time getting it framed. I had to sacrifice a cream pillow to put behind the sampler as the backing board showed through too much:


Then I started to get a sore throat, thinking it was just strain from singing too much during the day I didn't think too much of it, but it's kept me awake most of the night, so I'm now praying that I'm not coming down with something that keeps me away from work, still got plenty to do before the Christmas break.
