Thank you sweetcarer for going to all that trouble, it really is good of you. I'll wait to see the picture you can hopefully send through but if not I think I'll go for the twins sampler on bizzielizzie crafts. Although I do like the storks on the Austrailian ebay site. Wonder how long they'd take to come from there though - am desparate to get on with it!

Thanks again

Hi

This was in a 2001 issue of crossstitcher

Must finish off my baby gift and get piccy up!

Ok that worked at home uploading to photobucket - work computer wouldn't let me - work piece of s**t.

It is a start - maybe you can add other motifs to it and more wording. I know its not great but you seemed so determined to do a twin one. Like the one Lainz found in the magazine.



Keep us posted in what you do - things from Austrialia could be here in about 10 days not bad.

Kind wishes and good luck

sweetcarer

PS thank you Keiss for all your help.:)

Oooo thank you very much

I would never have spotted them. Mind you , I am having a lot of trouble with the wimblebees site - keeps coming up error pages and adding things to the basket just disappear. Weird.

Perhaps "someone" is trying to save you from yourself :rotfl:
I on the otherhand in the words of Brittney Spears -can only say "oops I did it again"
I thought I would have a looksy and found that Sew-and-so had the other angels .... it seems she releases a new one eah year -what a lovely idea,,,, anyway I have ordered the others :whistle: -and when I went to pay I found out that I get my stuff from there TAX FREE :j-which could be a dangerous discovery :rotfl:-so I will have 13 to "fit in" inbetween the golden earth Im doing next :eek:
Right Im back off to do some more sewing -as I have now moved onto the last chunk of the pattern :j
Happy sewing everyone

Hi everyone, you are all getting on really well with your projects :-) I have finally finished mine and went for the beads instead of french knots which just unravelled so really need to practice them. Mind you the beads look fab, I will uploads some photos on to my blog on Monday.

I recently bought this (after someone on here posting the sale info from The Black Sheep - oh you lot are a bad influence lol):

My little girl is forever walking around in her sisters flamenco shoes which are far too big for her so it reminded me of her :-)

You were all talking about preparing your work for framing earlier in the posts, how do you go about doing this and framing them so they are nice and taught? I found some projects I forgot I had done recently and would love to frame them up and put them on the wall.

Thanks

oohh just been on ebay looking around and found this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Heavenly-cross-stitch-book_W0QQitemZ290401545649QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_CrossStitch_RL?hash=item439d47edb1

I know some of you like angel designs so this book might be a good buy :-)
