ohhh yes pleasy... i'm a sucker for the bothey charts!! will pm you (argg who was i supposed to pm yesterday that i forgot??)



thank you.... lol i love the contact them bit, not sure i can be quite that cheeky. the '=' one is for water on square A3 as well. have never actually used verigated before - do you have to cross each individual stitch rather then (as i do at mo) stith all one way for a large block then go back over them.

Yes, with variegated threads you stitch each cross individually before moving to the next one. It does use more thread but the effect is great. I just had a look on sew & so at the Anchor multicolour threads and they look like a better match. When I'm next in Hobbycraft, I can see which matches up best if you like.
Not got the chart here in the bedroom so can't see how much is needed in A3. That's the downside of ;)s isn't it? Colour matching & the little extras that are hard to find...

Thinking of you and your family on what I am sure will be a hard day Soulie ((((((((HUGS))))))))


On another note, we currently live in a downstairs 2 bedroom flat which has severe damp. We put in for a house in another area, where my brother lives, and have been told we need to clear arrears of rent first.
This is okay as my Dad said he will clear them for us at the end of March and then we will get on the transfer list which is about 6 months at the minute.
Baby is due in April so we decided to redecorate, and basically paint over the damp. So decided to start with the bathroom which hubby wanted to paint orange. Went to B&Q yesterday and got two tins of Dulux Orange paint reduced from £24.98 to £1.00 !!!!
So hubby started the white gloss yesterday and is going to do the walls today, so I can't help with this as paint fumes are bad for me due to asthma, so I get to sit on my bum all day and STITCH !!!

Hope everyone has a good day !!!

Also have ordered a Madeira cotton swatch from Barnyarns, so that should be here today, will look at the colour codes for the variegated threads in Palace, Noah's Ark, North Pole and others.

On another note, does anyone have the full Dictionary of Love (that's the only one I'm missing:()

Everyone's pics look really good. Will try and add some of mine, when go through stash tonight.

Ruth-honey - wondering where to build my extension or whether to make my 2 boys share, would be Armageddon though :rotfl:
