Now for the close up
But now I am in a panic - I done the other border in two strands - can some one let me know what it should be - I will unpick it if need be - won't take long to do again. Also does the A look ok?Kind wishes to allsweetcarer

Sorry for any 'stuff' that hasn't got there yet - dh posted it out for me on Saturday afternoon from one of the most unreliable post boxes we have round here (he does display worrying signs of numptiness very often!) If there is no joy by early next week I will re-post to anyone who hasn't received anything. We once posted a birthday card from the same box for my brother and it arrived 11 months late so I am not hopeful

Have yet to sort out my threads too! Going away to lakes next week so taking mine with me then hopefullyMortgage £119,533 going down slowly
