Chicky - I am sorry but I have to blaim you for spending over £30.- in WHS today :eek: ok I think all of it was very well spent (the above, one knitting mag, two dog mags and a computer book). Now lets see if I am actually going to stitch anything out of it. I think my mum would love having the two cats.

as i suspected after working through a magnifying glass for the last few months i failed an eye test this morning and need glasses for stitching and close work bit of a bug but at least i should see what im doing now. down side is the back stich will probally look awful once i get them. i finished it this afternoon and i always thing what i did in the evening before looks pretty poor in the cold light of day

happy stitching everyone

sozzzy Marru. I was tempted by the baby one but no one to stitch for so that solved that problem.

I don't know Flat Eric, might get some more of the little christmas kits where I got the meerkat one from Failing that, can anyone recommend any small cross stitch kits? Hopefully not too expensive coz I don't have much money at the moment...

What about the free kits that come with magazines, are they any good? What sort of designs do you like? I have tons of them, could send you a few if you want, I don't have time to stitch them myself

Oh....I have been stitching, but not much. Have had my neice and nephew over today and have spent a lot of time building a new forum for OH and his buddies - never done anything like that before, always nice to learn something new

Chicky - what a lovely piccy of the boys, can't believe how big Noah is now!! Not so long ago since he was just tinywiggle lol x

nmm - thanks for the czar update - the end is in sight!!:T

Ooh, I'm not sure what I like really...cute things like kittens and stuff. I'm not really a fan of flowery things or scenery etc. Erm. Basically I just like cute stuff and christmassy things.
