Well I couldn't wait - I went to Hobbycraft and paid their silly price (79p) for DMC 780......wasn't going to get the Lion finished before end of month if I didn't, and I have 3 projects waiting, plus my HAED.

:rotfl: Bet your threads come tomorrow! You will have probably be finished by then though! :rotfl:

Off to get tea sorted...no BBQ today....tipping it down now, thunder too...no lightning yet!

starting a little butterfly tonight as i need to make a start on it for a gift for someone and the dark blue adia makes stitching titanic difficult at night

loved the russian kit that was posted it looks so beautiful, i spent a lazy afternoon after the wedding browsing at kits on ebay some were very tempting

Hi Girls

Hope you are ok. I am stressed out my box with work - was working today at one of the other sites a bit of way at home. Hubby still not found a job. Don't know if he is trying he says he is but I don't know. Only reason why I agreed to work away from home to get a wee bit extra money. Going to do a wee bit more on the wedding stitch. Listened to the radio today for the wedding, so seeing some pictures now - she was beautiful but I think every bride is. I really liked the prayer they wrote even tho I am not that religious.

Kind wishes to all

Chicky - congrats on meeting your target :T:T

I had a nice day yesterday - I watched some of the Royal Wedding whilst stitching my 40th Wedding Anniversary card :j (quite an appropriate thing to stitch don't you think?) Its coming along nicely and is nearly finished now. I won't be able to do much today as I have a busy day but plan to do some tomorrow and hopefully finish it I have tweaked the design ever so slightly - well I have stitched the 40 in three strands and the text happy anniversary in 2 strands rather than one strand for both. Certainly for the Happy Anniversary text, this has made it stand out better. Its my first project on evenweave and I am really really pleased with it - I think it will look fab when finished I will try to post a picture.

So not much stitching time available today but all day tomorrow and Monday available for stitching before back to work on Tuesday. boo but only about a week at work before a few more days off = more stitching time. YAY!

Happy stitching weekend all.

Well, postie arrived and guess what??


No threads!!:eek:

Quite surprised actually, Acrosstown are usually quite quick (I ordered on Tues) so I guess they will be here on Tues coming. :cool:

Glad I went to Hobbycraft now or I would be stuck doing nowt :rotfl::rotfl:
