Louise - So you don't have weeds then...or have you a gardener?!:rotfl:

I'm not Louise but I don't have weeds - I mostly have grass to the edges apart from my veggie patch. Recently dug over and the cold has stopped any weeds so far. Yippee!!!

Really dense question... have just bought one of those wash out pens to mark the fabric as about to sew a couple of evenweave largish projects and for the life of me cant work out a practical way of marking out the ten squares - do you measure them with a ruler do you count them? arghhh
might be the time of the morning but not going in right now.

will post my jan/feb stuff tomorrow before i go away with work - stitching coming too as have an eight hour flight - which i detest with a passion - unfortunatley they are all little projects - and i need to go on a card making course to make the finished project a little more polished - but worked out managed to get about 4/5 of my 36 (i think) projects to do this year done. (one is a knitting project and two sewing ones but still....)

Not a very Huggy person but ((HUGS)) to those down right now for whatever reason

You count 'em

It's not as bad as it sounds - once you have done a few in each direction you can just follow the lines on the fabric and do bigger sections without counting.

Yup, it was me.

The alphabet and the roses on the ring cushion are the same Lizzie, I could email you that if you fancied charting the borders yourself?

Ohh yes please that would be great then I could change the colours to suit my email address is [EMAIL="lizziespike@hotmail.co.uk"]lizziespike@hotmail.co.uk[/EMAIL] thanks

My mum has parkinsons too - I am always trying to presude mum to do stuff but she rather sit in front of the goggle box.

My mum is the opposite, she's a stubborn mule that will keep doing the stuff she's always done just a lot slower.

Yay It's Friday!!!

Thanks for the frame recommendations ladies :T

I'm going to go for the lap frame as I often stitch sitting in bed with the telly on.
Next week is pay day so I'll order one then, let's hope I don't end up buying too much else!

Hope everyone has a lovely and productive stiching weekend
