*Louise* -I have seen a bootiful HAE that would go with your lake :rotfl:..will pop and find it in a moment -it looks almost like a close up on the figure by the lake -Im in love

I can't get the link of the pic to work -so its on the wimblebees site
on the HAE section Page 5 left hand side -3rd one down -tis lovely

I knew exactly which one you were referring to, I spied it the other day myself :rotfl:

Heaven and Earth - Spring? (My link wouldn't work either)

It does actually match - it's by a Christopher Vacher painting the same as the lake one.

*Adds it to favourites list*

*stands in the corner* i must not be nosey i must not be nosey....ah i looked and wish i hadent i like College of Magical Knowledge and i agree with MrsM thats alovely pic to go with the one your doing dont worry about not giveing me 18 or 16 count i like a challange, and it sounds like it will be if none of you ladys have done it in 25 count by the way it says use two strands of cotton , oo i wish everything would arrive so i can start :rotfl:

Oh it will be a challenge lol

I must admit I prefer the larger count, cos when it's finished I want it to look an impressive size as well lol:rotfl:

Non-stitchers tend to judge by size rather than content, don't they....

Hi, i'm wanting to make a cross stitch birth announcement / sampler for my nephew's newly born twin boys.

Have beeing trawling the internet without much success. Can anyone help? Thank you

Why not design your own? I done this one for my grand nephew when he was born - design was from a magazine - added the wording and hey presto - one original design.

Agree with sweetcarer though that you could design your own.

Just ordered these: http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=64772&ww=on&do=search_results I thought £12 for the set was fantastic, and will make some lovely cards!

I have just ordered these as well. Thank you for the link.

Thanks lelc and sweetcarer. They're maybe a little more traditional than I'd wanted though the one with the 2 little prams is quite nice.

I don't think I'm up to designing my own though!

There were a couple in the Wimblebees sale, I think. Or does it need to be specifically for twins?
