As a side note, I am on the look out for Jungle Book designs for baby's nursery if anyone sees any please let me know...xx

I think I saw some Jungle Book kits yesterday, on mariescrossstitch.co.uk. I've no idea what they were like, I was looking for Snow White for my daughter, but I scanned through the whole Disney section.

I've wasted the whole day browsing various websites and managed to get absolutely no stitching done! It's the thought of that back stitch on the horizon, it's sapping all my motivation :rotfl:

Just a quick question, I dug out an old UFO from 2005 :eek: and had a quick look over the chart, and some stitches require 5 strands! I've never had a chart that called for more than 2 or 3 strands, has anyone else come across this? And is it more regular than I thought?

Thank you!

The chart in question, {just in case anyone else has done it or has it in their collection} is White Lightning by John Seerey-Lester.

In all my stitching years Ive never heard of using 5 strands. To be honest Ive very rarely used 3. I would have thought it would be abit bulky for the fabric???

t4mof - that is a fantastic lookalike! Really captures him :T Is it for someone or are you keeping it for yourself?

My 'Treasured Time' Victorian skating scene used 4 threads at some points....5 is more than I have come across in any design :eek:

Looks good though....;):D

Hello everyone, new to these boards but feel this is something I need to do!
I have been stitching for years, but haven't picked up a needle for over 2 years, I was doing an all our yesterdays picture for my nan and when she died nearly 3 years ago I was just over half done with it, I managed to finish that one but haven't been able to pick it up since, maybe 2011 is the time?
I have another all our yesterdays one on the go and have many many more kits unopened. All our yesterdays is my fave but I love tatty teddy and winnie the pooh as well, I also have a set of ballerinas to do.
If i don't pick it up again this year I'm going to have to be ruthless and get rid of some of the kits :eek: Going to have a clear out of other craft stuff tomorrow as well.
Anyway enough rambling, hope I can show you all some stitches soon!
