Grrr mse won't let me quote tonight for some reason. We are going to Harrogate for both days and staying over in a hotel - not very mse but have saved up for it. Also signed up for a couple of workshops this year, making a patchwork bag and a Christmas bauble so looking forward to those.....and some spending;) PM if you fancy meeting for a brew and we can swap mobile numbers - I'm very good with m-i-l's and extremely good with Grannies:p

For french knots, the way i do them is pull the needle through, then hold the thread with my left hand and spin it round the needle a few times, then i push the needle back through the same hole, keep holding the thread until near the bottom and pull. It works so far for me :rotfl: This is similar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9qPPXcjXTU

Wow, it's been quiet in here!

Have been working on my Disney Princess design but I'm not too sure about how it's turning out...will stitch a bit more then take a pic and show what I mean.

Hope everyone is okay?

I'm making my way through my latest nursey design, which is something a bit more 'cute' than I normally do. A lot more shading that I have done in a while, but really enjoying it.

However my Bothy Threads spaceship arrived yesterday, and I am really keen to get started on that! Looks like lots of fun. But the child that is for is still 4 months away from being born, and the one I am doing now is for a child who is already 6 months old, so need to get this one done first.

I really must stop buying kits - I have lots now I have never done!

Emily 926 - what about that train one I put on the last page?

Or this one looks fantastic completed:

I've done this one twice - looks lovely. It's the partner to the blue toy shelf on the last page.

I have another farm animals one that I can't find a link too. A bit more long stitching and like a crayon drawing. Looks good, and has the advantage that it's quite quick to do.

I have all the designs and can photocopy them for you. The kits are all done, so sorry can't give you them!

I've also got the Mr Men Alphabet, plus a couple of other alphabets - fairy simple, and one in a book not a kit, if you want an alphabet one.

Does anyone know of somewhere I can find a kit/pattern for either the full 'Monday's Child' poem or that for individual days as my son and daughter were born on different days of the week?

Kind regards

Emma
