Thanks for your comments peeps! Can you offer me some inspiration too please? I have lots of kits in my stash (although not as many as I thought when I actually sorted it yesterday!!) but I would like to stitch something for my childrens bedrooms. My DD is 2 and my son will be 1 in June so a bit past the birth sampler maybe. I thought about doing their names in one of the alphabets from a mag or an alphabet sampler? What do you think?

Hope everyone is staying dry today - can't wait to see more update pics soon too

I love the alphabet suggestions especially if you made them into names. Another idea is a height chart. Here is a fun one if you wanted to do one chart for both children. But if you put "height" into the search there are a couple of pages of suggestions. And I know that there have been charts in magazines on this subject though I can't help with when.

Hi ladies.




FOS. Really like the millenium sampler, can appreciate the work that's gone into it. Love the keep calm, I need one of those for tea drinking! Imagine is coming along great.

Thank you - most of the work was actually done in 1999/2000 but I had a dreadful end to 2000 and stitching was abandoned!. I feel quite positive that I was able to finish the sampler without it bringing back unhappy memories.

I think I have seen a Keep Calm and Have a Cuppa or similar but it may just be in my imaginaton

Here's where I am on my nephews monster sign, after about 3 hours, so not too bad!





And this is my drafted 'pattern' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm still on the look out for something similar for girls though, the Bothy threads one BOBBIs MUMMY posted is along the right lines! So thanks for that BOBBIs MUMMY!

Here's where I am now!



Going to do the backstitch then move the fabric over to do the other letters, will let you know how I get on :T

Great pics from everyone, I love seeing what you've all been up to!

First update on Circe the Sorceress - 4 evenings stitching...there is some gold left at the bottom which still needs to be 'reverse stitched' - you can see it's a lot thicker than the gold on her top.

the fairytale alphabet (grr bad memories - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2424617) is lovely for children of that age.

i posted last night - i promise, i know i did but it's vanished and now i can't remember what i wrote!
