Mothers Day Gift 27/02/11 by pm2326, on Flickr


hmmm where do you all get your evenweave from and what sort/brand do you buy? I want to do the tatty teds on evenweave as I saw a few of you recommend it but have never used evenweave before so not sure where or what to buy...help please!!:rotfl:

Great design, I really like it :T I buy my evenweave from sewand so - usually go with zweigart 28 count brittney (equivalent to 14count aida)





I got on and got loads of my stuff done and out the way, so am now going to sit and watch 'Hancock' and finish the sky on page 2 of my stitching. It's a good feeling when you can score loads of things off your 'to do' list

If you have a look there that shows how far I have got so far, I have the coat of arms to finish, the compass to do and lots of little buildings

Louise, sorry about not being able to stitch, so unfair.
Dragon, that map looks awful to stitch, there is no real solid area so I guess its all counting

Ollie is nearly all but done, just backstitch left I have decided on my wedding gift and its this -



So once Ollie is completed my stitching order is, unless anything else comes along
Union Jack Button (me)
Dino Button (me)
Rose Button (mum)
Wedding Gift (above)
Night Owl (me)
Falling Alice (me)

:rotfl: Its getting longer!

Have signed up to do a midnight 10k walk for local hospice in June to spur me on to shift a few pounds and get fitter (hopefully) plus if its being done at night there wont be so many people staring at me:o Just got to rope in some friends to join me on the walk now.

Let us know if you have an online sponsorship page, I'd be happy to donate a bit of money to your cause.

I'm doing the Race for Life again this year in Swindon on 22nd May.

Aww Maria - what a horrible anniversary... <<<<hugs>>>> xx

vickietm

Sorry to hear of your sad anniversary Maria. Sending big hugs to you xx

chickywiggle

<<hugs Maria>> can't begin to imagine what that must feel like. I always remember (not half as traumatic I know) having to take the morning after pill (i was too young/ off to uni). for years and years after (until DS1 was born) I kept thinking every March "if I had got pg baby would be x now" - it shock me to tears every time. strange tho, I don't feel the same after my m/c... perhaps because i got pg so soon after i've had Noah to keep my mind occupied and shut that out cause i need to think of getting him here safely?
