Just on the off chance - it may not be any use to you but someone else using a PC to charge might find the tip useful.......I got a kindle for christmas and discovered that my Blackberry charger also works for the kindle....that saved me a few quid.:money:

So I must stitch faster, make less mistakes and just get on with it!!



I have realised why I struggle so much with it though, it's because there are no blocks of colour at all. I just find it hard,

It looks lovely, sorry to hear you are having trouble with it - have you considered using a fabric marker? I guarantee that you will find it much easier to follow once you have the grid lines marked. It's much easier to count within a 10x10 square and also means less mistakes.



For anyone considering them, have a look:

Queen B = Dita is one of my idols. I get told I look ish like her, which I'd like to say is true, except i'm a size 18 rofl.

Is some one looking for a ballet dancer? I'm sure there was one in one of the mags in the past year.
Do let me know if someone needs me to dig through them

Got lots to stich from christmas, lots of things to stitch as gifts, yet I cant tear mself away from my 4 xa4 page 110x150 project that I found.

this might be because mother dearest whenever she looks at it, me all proud thinking "yes u can definatly start to see it coming together" will go... errm... what is it? cant see it

This is my first project from the Sewandso sale, and the first one for about 11 years

Waiting on them to get in lizzie Kate's 'a good marriage' as I want to stitch it for my husband for our 10th anniversary in may. I emailed them yesterday to ask if they'll be stocking it soon and got a reply back very quickly saying yes, just keep an eye out on the what's new page.

Love these Lizzie Kate designs - I have just finished stitching her Christmas ABCS

and I've also done her original ABC which I made into a cushion (may do the same with the Christmas one and bring it out just for Christmas)
