Here's a pic of the kit I am starting today. Didn't start it yesterday during F1 as I nodded off instead

morning all
hugs to chicky and everyone else who needs one
love the words on the stitching youve done Louise
the tiger tank looks great, well done on finishing in time nmm
more sky done over the weekend - i think that will be my stock phrase for a few months to come:o

got a huge bargain at the carboot DH spotted it and even paid after checking it was something i wanted :j
i got 4 folder/book things called DMC gold concept with little plastic holders to store silks on in them. 2 are empty but the other 2 have 71 dmc silks between them, also included was a bag of stitch bows and little labels to put in the folders next to the silks. Also got a disney princess limited editoin tinkerbell sketch stitch kit and an anchor kit called the trotters which is a row of pigs walking along in a line, a small embrodery hoop and two pairs of really chunky knitting needles all for £7:T

Loving the tiger and WOW what a bargain.

I have finally finished the chickens so hopefully picture tonight. That can only mean one thing - I can start stitching the Wolves :j

Chicky - hope things have improved over the weekend.

Mrs MP - great buy from the car boot sale. I don't go to them as I end up with my son buying rubbish. I could actually do with taking some junk to the carboot myself, I seem to have been keeping my local hospice CS in stock lately. Every time I have a day off I end up dropping things there. Think I've nearly finished the sorting now so might actually go in and have a look instead of just dropping off.

Shelly - love this tiger. It's reminded me of something that I found on Thursday when I was sorting out my craft cupboard. When my mum died she had been stitching a tiger for my dad. I couldn't cope with finishing anything so bundled everything up into several bags and put them in my cupboard. Earlier this year I found the tiger and threads but no pattern. I couldn't even find what the name of the piece was so I think I got rid of it. Can remember being upset but don't know if I threw it out. On Thursday I found a box with the picture and I think the chart - didn't look too closely as didn't want to get upset (again). Have kept the box just in case I didn't throw the aida and thread away.

Will post a picture of my MP sampler later.

Those carbook bargains sound great! I never find any cross stitch stuff but did get a 'ready to sew' toy snail for 20p yesterday for some bizarre reason!!!

Chicky - Forve him to sit down; blokes are a nightmare for bottling stuff up and chickening out of any meaningful talks by heading off to the pub. Hope it gets sorted & thinking of you (hugs).

Everyones work looks great. Love the cupcake - keep meaning to stitch something like that for decoration on my stalls.

Am currently stitching the free Faye Whittaker card that was on WOXS a month or so ago. Need to get going as it has to be in the post by Wednesday. Then I WILL finish Titanic!!! :rotfl:
