got to go computer going flat

Ailsb

Maria - thanks for the close up, hadn't realised this was a HAED design.

Will take the advice of you and Louise and use either 14 or possibly slightly smaller aida. Managed to get the 5 colours of floss that I hadn't got.

I also got quotes for two of my pieces that need framing. My Lavendar & Lace mother and baby has been quoted at over £60 and the Michael Powell Wedding Church at over £35. Not sure what to do - any recommendations for online framers?

Thank you have managed to finish the top left corner so far tonight!

*Louise*

Maria - she is looking great, which section are you going to go for next? (Left or face lol?)

I am keeping busy - bought 5 ring binders and 250 poly pockets and have sat down to arrange all my charts into pockets and file them - they have become really unorganised so I needed to sort them out.

On the downside this reminds me of ones I want to stitch But I will also look for ones to ebay as well

Left next Louise its a waterful quite a lot of big blocks of colour, was hoping to get started on it tonight, but the littlest imp has decided to play up went in there room to see if I could grab something for the biggest imp and woke him up, so my fault really I love looking through my patterns, last time it made me realise how much my tastes have changed now, there was ones I loved before but don't now

Happy filling !

This is the link to the magazine I am looking for Louise. A lovely lady sent me a link to the chart but if I could get the magazine and/or kit, it would be great.

Thanks
