ohhhhhhhhhhhh GRRRRRRRRRRR typed a reply then my stupid internet went down and lost it and now I am cross!!!


23rd spiral - nope didn't go in the end.... felt the hour and a half round trip on the tram and the trek back up my hill was more then i could cope with. I am sure one day I'll have the energy to find a reallly good priced aida on internet to order. 5m should be a good amount to keep me going....:rotfl:

What size/colour/count are you looking for, and how much do you want to pay - I'm at work today, I will see what I can find x

23rd - I couldn't find Cross Stitcher either so had to trawl the big supermarkets - even Mr W Smith didn't have it! I wonder if they had a short print run and ther will be more later. Very strange not to find any.

Chicky - There's a brilliant place for aida on ebay - comes from Jersey so it's tax free (and cheap to start with). User is dmc_tax_free - I don't know how to hide a link so hopefully this won't be removed!

Louise - Tinkerbell is gorgeous.

Just got a tiny bit to do on the Mothers Day Stitching then I can make it up :j

Hi ladies.

Here's my finished sampler, (the colour of the names and date looks bright pink in the pics but in real life it's not)



and here's what I have made a start on for my cousin,




I really enjoyed stitching the sampler so thanks again Louise for the chart nudge

funnily enough they are on my saved sellers list... I'm awful tho for spending 3 hours hunting out EVERY possible place to compare prices from for the sake of savign £1!! :rotfl:

That's who I would have looked at too!

Is 3 hrs time to save £1 a good use of your time. I bet you're worth more than 33p an hour...!

The sampler is looking FAB Shelly...well done!!:T:T

Great to see you back stitching again Louise

ejs2311great work too!!

Been busy designing a coaster this week as well as starting my first attempt at patchwork, also had a trip to the dentist and doctors (with work thrown in on a couple of days too). Will post piccies once I have done..hopefully over the weekend.

Right, off to get back to it...see you later!
