Hi all, so sorry I have abandoned ship, I was just not doing anything worthwhile to post. Anyways I have given up on the Gorjuss backstitch and I am going to attempt two cover kits before I go back to it. I am just not feeling it anymore :rotfl: I have a flower fairie cut out and a reindeer card so will move onto those before picking Gorjuss back up.

I thought I would share the final framed butterfly eye pic. As it was the finished piece was about 1/2 an inch too short for the frame on the side. So I added some strips of paper to make it look a little presentable. I think the bride liked it, but I will prob get a final opinion of it after her honeymoon. I love it however

check your email in 2 mins maria.

i liked tom and helen but after the business plans tom had to get it. i was wondering if helen would be allowed her 2nd plan, there has GOT to be something in her greggs contract forbidding it given how high in the compan she is.

PAP that looks stunning, im sure she is thrilled with it i know i would be.

if helen had been allowed to change her plan that would have been totally unfair

Helen totally shot herself in the foot twice - first with her rubbish business idea and then second by trying to pander to AS's tastes and changing her mind. I wanted Tom to win all the way through though.

morning all
lazy day yesterday youngest DD and her BF cooked dinner, DS actually did some tidying and eldest DD took us for a drink while all this was going on, didnt get any stitching or knitting related birthday pressies i think the kids know how full the house is with things for those hobbies:rotfl:. got some lovely smellies a book i really wanted to read, an appt for a really posh hair salon and other bits and bobs. weekend started very sad as on saturday afternoon when our old but otherwise healthy cat roger suddenly died:(. Luckily if that the right word i realised something was wrong and was sitting with him stroking him and trying to comfort him so he wasnt alone at the end. seems strange not having him brushing round my legs whle im typing

sorry to hear about Roger sending you hugs xxxx It sounds like he was a very happy cat and had lots of love. I hope it brings a smile to your face to know that one of the reasons Roger was bringing you little presents was because he was trying to teach you how to catch mice etc

re the apprentice - I think the right person won :j

did some stitching while it was on so mouse xmas kit almost finished - picture soon

*Louise*

biker- that's good news, hopefully it continues to shink before yoru op xxx

MrsM - Sorry to hear about Roger

Pap- That looks amazing framed, I can imagine the bride is over the moon with it :T


Anyone get WOCS today? Some lovely designs in it. And the free tin is better than the one I got with a different mag the other month! I like the forever friends, going to have to stitch that, and the little beach scenes.
I recognised the little duckling, I stitched that about 5/6 years ago, it's hanging in my Nans hallway lol. Noticed near the back that they are doing a HAED 'special treat' in next months issue, so looking forward to that :j

mrs-moneypenny

tempted by your post louise i just nipped down the shops but WOCS isnt out here till tomorrow
