    Ailsb. MP wedding sampler is looking lovely. In all my time of stitching I still never cease to be amazed at how backstitching brings a design to life!

    blue eyed girl. Do you have a link to the finished design? It's looking lovely, house/cottage designs are right up my street lately (no pun intended :rotfl: )

    Ruth_honey, Somebunny is so cute, I agree they are tricky to stitch, I did one for Emily when she was born

    He is so cute - where do you get items like him - thinking for my new grandnephew doing one, as I can't think of a cross stitch to do for him as yet.

    Thanks

    Hope you are all well - now off work for a week and a bit got the hospital and a wee holiday in between, so ready to chill!

    Finished 'Too Pooped' and stitched a Golden Wedding card for parents for the end of July. Will post photos when I have enough energy to go upstairs and get the camera!

    Not been at work all week as I've felt so poorly.

    Started this yesterday afternoon

    http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Shoe-Delight---14-Count-Aida__VER-2720-bslsh-75-prd-208.aspx

    Bought it a copy of years ago and think it'll be perfect in the guest bedroom.

    Still lurking and wanted to day hi - stitchy saturday next week so will hopefully make some progress on welsh chapel at long last.

    School finishes next Friday so I will have a life back for a few blissful weeks and plenty of indulgent stitching if all goes to plan.

    Bikerchick - sorry you haven't been feeling well hope that with some rest you'll start feeling a bit better. I like that design I haven't seen it before. It's surprising how 3 sets of legs can be so effective.

    Hope this helps shelly. I think the colours in my pic are closer to the real thing - they are certainly much brighter looking. I must admit though I'm not much cop at this photography lark. :rotfl:

    Hugs bikerchick - hope you're feeling a bit better when you've had some rest. Congratulations to your parents on their 50th anniversary coming up soon. Any celebrations planned?? Love those legs btw - now, :think: where have I seen them before - certainly not in my mirror thats for sure :rotfl:Look after yourself and make sure you are getting plenty of rest.

    Take care everyone.
