I also have a couple of kits that I really love and can't bring myself to stitch them because once they are stitched they are stitched and I won't have them to look forward to anymore....weird or what? :rotfl:

Now I have to ask - which ones?

has anyone got WOXS? just saw the HAED - omg the symbols are super-tiny!!!!!

I read mine last nght - needless to say I won't be tackling that HAED One over one on 28ct????:eek::eek::eek:

I did that for those little christmas pieces last month - all very well for that but for a giant HAED? No chance...I would go blind lol:rotfl:

If I ever wanted to stitch it I would change to 16 or 18ct aida. I save evenweave for when the background fabric can be seen.

Todays progress




I don't think I'll bother with the HAED in WOXC either, I'm not really that keen on it and the thought of 1 over 1 on 28ct terrifies me, I've never actually stiched on evenweave and I don't think I want to start with that :eek:

Emily went back to nursery today and is knackered, she was so excited last night she wouldn't stay in bed so both girls are having a nap, which gives me an hours peace to read my mag It's mine and DHs 3rd anniversary today so I'll be passing round the chocolate and raspberry sponge later

Because you asked I had to go double check. 'A couple of kits' turned into 8!

These are my favs from my stash....

Waterbridge Garden by Anchor love house kits for some reason, have a few and think this one is real pretty.
A rest at last by DMC purely because it's super cute.
Gourmet ABC by Designworks I love sampler type designs.
Golden Gate Avenue by Janlynn Wanted this forever, probably my most fav in my stash.
Tiger & Cub by DMC Just because it's Tigers.
Home Sweet Home by Cinnamon Cat Have this as a chart and waiting for threads. I love the bright colours of it.

These ones I couldn't find online so took pics,

Side by Side by Dimensions


Butterfly Haven by Sunset


The Bookshop (Lilliput Lane) by Anchor


They will all get stitched one day!

Oops, that was a lot of work

(But I loved looking at them, so thanks!)

I've probably only got about five kits in my stash at the moment - I had a mass clear out a couple of years ago and sold all the ones I was never going to get round to on eBay. Since then I've been working on huge pieces (or on :cool:s from here!).
