Right...I need you all to either encourage me to be naughty or reign me in.....


I'm desperate to start Circe the Sorceress......I have all the stuff sitting here - do I start or do I continue with my medieval lady

To stitch or not to stitch...that is the question....whichever option has the most votes by 6pm tomorrow is what I will go with.....:D:o

What is one of this group's purposes?

To encourage each other to finish stuff! (Let's not mention the encouragement to buy tons of new stuff, OK?)

So - finish the lady. We know it won't take you long :rotfl:

Thanks Shelly, that first link is brill. Had a bit of a go last night, sort of worked out what I want to do, going to get the graph paper out and see if I can sort of adapt it a bit (even though I'm not in the least bit artistic!!) Have got plenty of time to sort it because I'm a long way off finishing my current WIP

How far along are you with Medieval Lady? If you are over half way I vote for finishing her first but if you are less than half way I vote to start Circe and go back to ML when Circe is done.

flowers of scotland,tell me its friday and louise, the only ufos i have are actually my mums that she has decided she no longer wants to complete, and i never have a to do list because i like to pick as i go along, my problem is that 1 i dont know what i want to do and 2 my tastes have changed alot over the last 6 months so alot of my charts i dont want to do anymore! will have another look in a little while and see if i can find anything i missed last night, i do have a big anne hatherways cottage that mum started and asked me to finish for her but it is so big that i will definatly need a frame for it, decisions, decision!

louise go on be naughty start a new one! you stitch so fast it wont be a ufo for long !

have a good day all
