Urban cross stitch sells some Banksy style kits. I've bought a few from there before.

Can you get RSI from cross-stitching? My arm hurts, like a burning pain going from my thumb and up my arm. It was so bad last night I had to wear one of those elastic support bandages and take a painkiller before I could sleep. It's not too bad at the moment but I think I will have to take a break from stitching for a day or two :mad:

Has anyone else had this, and what did you do about it?

Wow, loads of great stitching since I last checked!
kezbabybabe- I love the piglet he looks great now the cushion is done, and you've done so many bits!
postingalwaysposting-so cute, I like the chicks too.
shelly-good progress!

smileyt- sounds painful, I get a sore shoulder sometimes when I sew, but nothing like that. Hope you are ok to stitch again soon.

I'm nearly finished with the cross stitch on my rocket I should finish it tomorrow. Then it's just the backstitch to do, that'll probably take me ages though! But I wanted to finish it by the end of the month, so I should manage that.

Great animal pics! Love the meerkats & tapir.

Czar is looking great. Well done. :j

Spent most of yesterday calling people trying to sort out a ghost walk but the lady who runs it doesn't answer her phone & hasn't replied to the message I left on Sunday & I tried the local tourist information office to book it & they don't return my messages either! Don't they want my money??? Grrr! So annoying wasting so much time on that when I could be stitching.

Edited to add-as soon as I posted this, the tourist information called me back to let me know they are trying to speak to the ghost walk organiser to book my place on the tour. At least I'm getting there-slowly-now!
