Chicky I don't like the heart one either.

well done to everyone that has posted an update on their stitching. I am going to try to do some tonight and hope to post an update later this week.

does anyone know the best value place for:
a) plastic bobbins?
b) plastic storage boxes for bobbins?
c) b with a as part of the package?

have scoured e-bay but best boxes i can see have cardboard bobbins (or doesn't specify) and am not keen on these ones.

thanks.

I have that box, DH bought it for my Christmas pressie It looks far nicer in real life too

Plastic bobbins: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/100-DMC-plastic-bobbins-cross-stitch-/280702492134?pt=UK_Crafts_CrossStitch_RL&hash=item415b2c1de6#ht_500wt_1156
I think these are a bargain but you've got 12hrs to go :cool:

I don't know about the boxes, I was feeling flush and bought mine from Hobbycraft :rotfl:

You are a very very naughty girl I want one too. Decided to have a google and found a few on ebay and some discontinued. But what about this one:

Might see if Fr Christmas fancies bringing me an early present - in my dreams!!

Oh I would love one of those! Wonder if they sell it empty, I don't need all those threads.

Chicky - I got all my storage boxes and plastic bobbins from sewandso


Not much going on here, my dad didn't get his results today, he got a letter saying he is to go for a CT scan on wed then to an appointment on Fri to discuss the results, so we need to wait a little longer

Louise - thinking about you and your family. I think the worst part is waiting, at least once you know what your dad is up against you can do something positive.

chickywiggle

can't believe they're making you wait *louise* that's reallly unfair. i sware hospitals don't have any understading what it feels like to be on the recieving end.

((((((Hugs)))))) to you and your family Louise. x

Mine's the heart picture and I don't like it, the box has been sat there since March, unstitched. I don't suppose you or anybody else has a of the sewing things chart?

Or does anybody have any ideas of a picture that shape that I could do instead? I've been looking in all my magazines but all the charts are either too big or square :mad:

no....just cause you got one and i'm jealous:rotfl:

could you tweak this to fit (choose your fav pics?) if so i can ;) that one.

Nykied. I have an email of the chart 'I stitch therefore I stash' if that's any good for your box lid? You can see it here that someone has stitched (scroll down past the rose card) http://awikkidwomanswords.wordpress.com/2010/07/

On the info it says that you need a frame with a minimum aperture of 8 and a quarter inches X 10 and a half inches, no idea if that's anywhere near the size of your box lid.

No worries if you don't want it but if you do want it, you know what to do
