    Morning all x

    Looks like you have all been busy with various things, some lovely stitching being done - loving the cut thru's :T

    Bubbles, good to see you back online, sorry to hear about the op, hope you are feeling better soon x

    I won't bother posting a weekly update, I have hardly had time to stitch - been working, and various other family stuff going on. The little I did do is all blue any way but the wishing well is starting to emerge :rotfl:At least that's another page completed though. 4 down, 8 to go (8,000 stitches per page):j

    I did however, get back to the framer to collect the wedding sampler, got plenty time to wrap it before Saturday lol. It cost £22, and it's a good size so deffo worth it. They had better appreciate it or there will be trouble :D

    Louise, that is beautiful and a great price to get it framed...:T
    ;)I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY;)
  • i do love the photos:T everyones work looks so beautiful and neat.

    finished the winnie the pooh hanger, as a couple of people who'd already done it commented it was really quick and easy. im going to save that for a friends birthday but i was so pleased with it im doing a couple more to use as birthday cards - just got to change the wording slightly.

    Wow, everyone has been so busy - all the projects are looking beautiful.

    I'm another one who can't believe how fast some of you stitch!!!

    I've added my updated Kingfisher to the flickr group - no point in adding Titanic as there's no progress.

    Once again I'll try posting the pic but if it refuses again it looks like just being the link!

    I don't believe it - it's finally let me post a pic! Now I just have to work out how to make it smaller next time!

    Hope you're all having a good day xx

    That's lovely, ejs! The pic is a good size as well. You can't really see any details when they're small.

  • Evening all!

    As usual I am behind the fair with my weekly update on Sunflower Girl.

    Here she is - http://s618.photobucket.com/albums/tt268/rowantanner/?action=view&current=SunflowerGirl-Week5-7Feb2011.jpg

    She's coming on but I'm still a bit panicky about getting her finished for the end of the month. And if anyone knows of a good framer in the Nottingham area who doesn't cost the earth, I'd be very grateful.

    Soulie - I'm glad that the funeral went well and send big hugs to you and your family to help you move forward.

    Bubbles - Sorry to hear that you haven't been well, but glad to see you back with us.

    Must go as it is Slimming World night tonight.

    Big Zen hugs to all who want or need them.

    Regards.
    Ro

    Hello all,

    *hugs* to all who want or need them.

    Loving all the progress photos: I'm a bit at a loose end just now, as I left my threads at my mil house last weekend so am stuck!

    I love that wedding sampler Louise - its beautifully framed. I have 2 weddings to go to this year, so am looking at what I could do for the happy couples: one is my cousin, and one is my brother. I fancy doing this for my cousin: http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Happily-Ever-After-Wedding-Record__DIM-65045.aspx so if anyone happened to have a copy of the chart they could ;) I'd appreciate it! I'm thinking of this for my brother: http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Rose-Wreath-WeddingAnniversary-Sampler__CIN-K901.aspx

    I also need to do a card for someone who is leaving in work, so think I'm going to order these charts:
    http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Greetings-Card-Set-1--Chart-Pack__CIN-807.aspx so if anyone wants a ;) of them when I get them just let me know :)

    Right, the oven is beeping so dinner must be ready! Talk later all xx
