  • nmm...I don't envy you stitching this design on black aida...the only way I can stitch on dark aida is to have a white towel on my knee to help me see the holes...
    ;)I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY;)

  • Morning :)

    I've just discovered my friend's wife is having a baby - a boy, due in 8 weeks.

    I want to make them a little piccie - does anyone have any ideas (or ;)s) I don't think they are into super cute, and I don't have much time :)

  • I saw this one, my sister's just emailed me the chart - can I do it in 8 weeks (or so), and what do you think of it?

    OHHHH I LOVEEEE ITTT!!!!!!!!!!!! depends how fast/ long you stitch. I'd not manage it in 8 weeks at my current stitch rate (around 5-10 hours a week) but if you are a lucky one who can do 15 hour stitchy days then it'd be no problem at all.

    I've a few birth samplers if thats what you are after or I have some baby motifs if you are after that sort of thing.

    Well my MAT leave starts here (ish) fed up of leaving work at 5 on a friday then having to go trek to pick DS up from childminders so have arranged to finish at 1 on a friday so i can go home.... 3 hours stitching me time in a quiet house... then go get the boy. :D
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
  • I started Too Pooped on Christmas Eve, and i've done all the stitching. Finished him last night except the back stitch, but only because I really enjoyed him... it's wouldn't matter too much if it took an extra month though would it - she'll be busy recovering from the c section (good girl)

    You can have a ;) if you PM your addy (as per usual :))

    ohh you should have noooo problem getting that done then!! :D I'm hoping i can have another natural, can't bear the thought of a c-sect and being movement restricted for 6 weeks.... can't bear the thought of staying in hospital more then 12 hours either - I delivered and ran last time .. pretty much!!

    I may just do that thank you.... not sure who to do it for yet...... hmmmmm maybe the boys will just have to have it as a pretty picture.

    I've just found this freebie, don't know if it's your or the friends' taste but it's cute ! Might be too simple, on the other hand it should be stitchable in 8 weeks.
