Thank you both, there is no rush i think she has 4 months to go and is expecting a boy, she miscarried last year so we are hoping all goes well this time

Emma, that HAED looks great, i'm still plucking up the courage to do dreams of atlantis :rotfl:

Happy new year everyone!!

Nmm - I like that safari one

Oh can I ask - you know the soluble pens.....how long do you leave them before washing out. I know they say no longer than a month, but I see many of you use then on HAED for example which is obviously going to take more than a month, so what do you do about the pen? I'd be paranoid it wouldn't wash out....

Hello everyone Happy New Year:beer:

I have been lurking.... I didn't get the highlands picture done for Mum and Dads xmas pressie, the light in the lounge is so carp. Does anyone know if Hobbycraft do daylight bulbs or anyother website that you recommend. I had a sort out today and found two of the little breast cancer kits of a shoe and the other was a handbag...... now I can't remember where I have put them... so they are lost again:rotfl:

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Love everyones pics.

Started blackwork owl but didn't want to spoil my only bit of evenweave as ive not done blackwork before and only used evenweave once before. So doing a practice run on a bit of spare aida - looks ok so far.

:beer: Here's hoping we all have lots of good health and happiness in 2012.

nmm - I have a couple of Beatrix potter birth samplers charts if they are of any use? And possibly a Shaun the sheep one - I will have a hunt!

Well I managed a few stitches on a lickle bear Christmas freebie kit. Figure if I start it now it WILL be finished by Christmas :rotfl:

DS is absolutely full of cold with a high temp, so not a brillant start to the new year!

I shall have to crack on and finish "On the beach" now as my Dad is coming over for a few days soon. Might as well give it him to take home, save me postage :money:and I can put it in a propper frame with glass rather than plastic in it.

Thanks Katyliz - it is nice that you guys understand. DH still can't understand why I was offended. I guess he figures I can still cook loads for him even if I end up with a total removal. Boy is he in for a shock if that does happen .

Right best go settle DS - he is wingeing again poor little lamb

Hi guys, happy new year :j Lets hope this one is better than last year :rotfl:

A friend of mine is expecting and i wanted to stitch her a birth sampler something simple, i like this one clicky and wondered does anyone have it already? ;) Or something similar, i'm not too fussy Forgot to say she likes animals too, so any cute ones would be great. TIA Just found this one, clicky its cute and not too expensive really.

I've got Bothy threads Old McDonald if you want it, a Noah's Ark one too, and erm, well lots actually :O

I also have a bluetits kit for whoever wanted it, not sure it's it's the same though...

Well did get started today but then started nodding off but am at least getting on with the Gorjuss kist at long last.

Mine has been on an HAED for well over a year and washed out easily. Never had a problem washing pen marks out. They wash out more easily than the pre-gridded aida fabric as well.

Emma - congrats on your HAED progress, I love the colours in that one, so pretty


I am still working on 'Candlelight' atm, going to finish that then get back to my own HAED
