    Also, has anyone had a photo charted? I'd like to do one of my sister's little girl and her two dogs for Christmas next year. Do they just supply the chart or does it come as a kit? Or does it work out cheaper to buy the software and do it yourself?

    This is my favourite project so far, the design I did for last Christmas: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57019223@N05/5306603435/in/pool-1577253@N21

    And this is the Christmas stocking I finished on Christmas Eve night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57019223@N05/5306598321/in/pool-1577253@N21/

    I have no idea how to make the pictures appear here as pictures rather than links, but hey.

    I want to do a leopard or lion design for my Dad for next Christmas, so if anyone has one or sees one, please let me know :)

    I have decided I had to be ruthless today and have cleared out loads of kits to sell, I have left myself with 44 though! Please tell me I am not the only one hoarding that many?? I don't know how I managed to collect that many!! Must now start stitching some :)

  • shelly and Pinkruth, thanks for the advice. I've been on the sewandso website and picked my new frame :) Now I've just got to wait for hubby to come home so that he can buy it for me :D


    kec09 - wow, I wish I could hoard that many! I only have 9 unopened kits at the moment, I have a tiny house with no space so I have to be really ruthless!

    Now I don't feel so bad lol! I didn't include any free kits with that, with those included I probably have around 100 to do, therefore no more magazines, kits or anything this year!

    I have finished the ginger fat cat. It has 4 smaller cats with a baking theme. I though it would look nice with Big Ginger in the middle and the others surrounding him.
