This one had a few problems at start but everything seems to be okay now...Have midwife appointment on Tuesday when we will get to hear heartbeat for first time, should reassure us as I am not showing (although I weigh 19.5 stone, so hard to notice), haven't put on a pound and don't feel much movement, only a weird feeling like a fish flipping about in my tummy...lol

Happy New Year's eve everyone! I am not going out either, 2 babies are all tucked up and me and hubbie have started drinking Not planning to do too much though as don't want to be unpicking tomorrow!
I am one colour short for the Dimensions chart conversion thing so will be getting that next week. Need to get some header tape for my dining room curtains too so will go into town on Tuesday- fine excuse:D
Happy nights stitching everyone.

Well, earlier on I picked up the Queen Anne House again to carry on with the beading, and noticed a mistake I've made in the stitching. I think it's only a few stitches I've done wrong, but in 2 colours, and will need to unpick and restitch. Then get the thread stitched into the birds nest on the back so it doesn't come loose (that's the most annoying part, I think!) So I've put it aside for now and have dragged out my kit box to find the Cut Thrus. I'd forgot that I also bought the Lighthouse. No idea when I bought that one!
Have found the washable pen, so am all ready to start marking up the fabric. May start that tonight, but we'll see how I go.

Also gathered up some bits I bought in the Wimble Bees closing down sale and sorted through that. Some of the fabric pieces I'm cutting up to share with my mum. Thought I'd do her a stitching hamper. Got some socks with 'stitching girl' on, some aida, evenweave, keyring blanks & some sparkly floss.

Polstitches has a sale on, BTW. Some gorgeous hand dyed fabrics.:D Gonna try and persuade DH to get started on buying Valentines pressies...;););)

hi I would like to join in the cut thru challenge if that's OK. I think I have missed the details though - does it last for as long as it takes to complete? I just told OH and his comment was "that will take you ages!" I can't afford to buy the kit till OH gets paid at the end of January though so will it be OK for me to join then - although you will probably all have finished by then! even if I am too late for the challenge I still fancy doing one of these - just have to decide which one:D

Join in at the end of Jan, by all means! It's gonna take me ages too, but at least it'll spur me on seeing the progress of mine & everyone elses week by week.

I won't be finished by the end of January bunbun, so don't worry about joining later. I have got my aida but am still waiting for some threads for my cut thru, am looking forward to starting. I shall try and get myself organised to start tomorrow but have this horrid bug that has been doing the rounds.

Happy New Year eveyone

I :wave: my OH off a short while ago as he set off for the pub so I am sat in the warm with Alice and Wonderland on the tv and my free glass of red wine/bottle of becks at my side :rotfl::rotfl: and my sister for company. Who needs to go out ??!!

Have any of you set any new year's resolutions ???? I haven't yet. Cross Stitch resolutions include actually finishing the stuff I start ! so thats the row of cats to be finished, plus my ow zat country companions cricket design and my friend's wedding sampler at the top of the list of the projects for 2011, oh and to make a start on my dimensions european bistro kit that I got plus the mr men kit I ordered today. Also to start my xmas cards early - make my friend's 21st birthday stitch (May) and perhaps stitch a few birthday cards as well !

I was about 19 stone when i had my fourth child and put on hardly any weight at the start and then started losing weight and at my scan they found child no 5 too . lol so i had 2 babies and lost a bit of weight bonus. :rotfl:
