Roses finished Feb 29th by XS77, on Flickr

Well I set myself a aim to get this done by the end of feb. And if it hadn't been for leap year it wouldn't of happened. All washed and dryin now - will try and get it in a frame and given before the weekend - so it can be my first "complete" finish.:rotfl:

Thanks FLOWEROFSCOTLAND for the heads up about the fabric for the peacock. If you could ;) me the chart I'd be very grateful! I just hope I can get the hang of evenweave.

I got my WOXS yesterday, there is not much in it that appeals to me at all, I may possibly do some egg markers for my newphews for Easter. I do like the look of the flower bucket in the sneak peek from next month. I really don't think this is the mag for me as I don't do cutesy stuff or like teddy stitches. The home sweet home free gift is nice. Ahhh now I write it down it, I do like the cards too so yes it was worth the £1. Though I will only subscribe if I get a £5 for 5 offer or similar. I think I will take out a sub to Cross Stitcher as I seem to see more in the few issues I have bought that I would put on a to do list. Must look out for any offers for that mag!

Further to someone's earlier request (apologies - I can't remember who) about a design of Las Vegas, does anyone know if there are any of Tenerife at all?

Loving everyone's progress - just completed a keyring for my niece. Not easy stitching on such a small piece of fabric!!

Benny1981 beautiful roses, they remind me of the old caravan decorations.

*Louise* :eek: the price they are asking wouldn't cover material and thread costs let alone the hours of loving work thats gone into it. Someone will get a bargain.

Made a list of the threads I need for the green Goddess and actually have most of them so don't need too many more which is good. Also got quite a bit of stitching done today and its been lovely to see the flowers come to life on the fan

Just a quick note to say I had a nice surprise through the letter box today, thank you Maria!

I finally have been working on Dear Santa, will post an update tomorrow!

A quick question about the 5 issues of WOXS for 5 pounds, does it lapse after the 5 issues, or do you need to cancel it before it auto renews?

Thanks

Lol that made me laugh - I never got any decent roles at school cos I wore glasses and always looked slightly geeky :shocked::sad:

Ps - Boofle is really cute:)



As for my own target - I orginally thought 2 months for my fairy but after seeing it coming together so easily (and having extra stitchy time due to school hols last week) I'm going to aim for 21 days, which is this weekend.:j

If you decide that you don't want to continue the subscription then you will need to cancel it. You can do this once you have received your first issue by phoning them and asking to cancel. Make sure you cancel your direct debit as well. I didn't have any problems canceling last time just said I wasn't sure if it was the correct magazine for me.
