    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. :)

    Well if you want to pm me somewhere to send them I will pick a couple of cuteish ones out and bung 'em in the post on Monday :)

    I will have a look through stash and list a few styles that I have - I know I have loads of Winnie the Pooh and friends / flower fairies etc and might have a couple of christmas ones :)

    nmn - Czar looks amazing! Dreams of Atlantis is pretty but scary!! What are you planning to do with them when you finish?

    Louise - I agree life is too short to backstitch over one square so two it is!

    Im determined to do some stitching today, was too tired last night after dragging bump around Belfast shopping! Although I got loads of cute bits and didn't cost me a penny as I used some gift vouchers that have been in my purse for ages :)

    Chicky, your boys are gorgeous!

    Nmm. Czar is looking great.

    Kez. Love the calendar, very colourful and fun.
    :heart2: Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without :heart2:
  • Love the meerkats willow and congrats on completing your first of many pieces. ;)

    Good luck for the London Marathon nykied :T

    Hope your feeling a bit better Flat Eric with your cold. I've gone a little bit off chart design on my current xmas card but I think we are allowed a little bit of artistic licence - it makes them unique :rotfl:I have been trying to build up a little supply of ready stitched cards so that I am prepared but as of yet it hasn't happened and I always seem to be rushing at the last minute. :)

    Not been tempted by the Maria Diaz bookazine chicky - not a great cat lover and even though the baby pic is lovely I haven't really got anyone to stitch it for. I have received email tempting me with 5 for £5 of Cross Stitch Crazy mags (giving serious consideration - can't be that bad for a fiver can it????)

    I'm opposite to you mrs-moneypenny - my glasses have to come off for stitching but I need them for tv - last night I was trying to stitch and watch Strictly - most of the time it was just coloured blurrs moving around the screen :rotfl:

    You must have plenty of patience nmm for Dreams of Atlantis - look forward to seeing your progress. 2015 ???? ;)

    Your Mr Men Little Miss Calender looks super kezbabybabe :T

    Here's the latest on Myrtle Cottage - dah dah (hopefully)

    Bought the frame but the mount that came with it has too big an aperture so I'm going to get another made to measure and use a double mount in contrasting colour as I think it gives quite a good effect.

    Sorry for the rambling post - promise I will keep quite for the rest of the day :)
