I've had a lovely relaxing evening - got loads done on Circe, she has a proper face now :j That was fiddly, I can tell you:eek:

Aneres I agree with the others, the dragon on black is already amazing and once complete will look spectacular!

Chicky The POP only pill, such as Levonorgestrel have a space of 3 hours in which to take, I am constantly taking mine late
:P. I have had so many varying types with side effects but this one seems good for me, happy to go into more detail, just pm me.

Sk00bie - The blackout cats are awesome, I can't wait to get a blackwork chart, technique looks fab! YOur butterfly looks lovley too! (Also butterfly mad), lol NW - are you near camden? Only down the road from me.

MMP- Titanic looking really good, I'm obsessed with all things titanic (convinced my past life had something to do with the ship)

Brednall - Keyring looks cool, I'm planning on making some fridge magnets soon as small gifts

Sweetcarer - Lovely thoughful hubby - lucky lady!

Ooh yeah, my news, finally (after a week) finished my pincushion (even though it has mistakes and isn't brill, the amount of satisfaction and pride was fab! I also ordered some pretty little scissors (anyone know where I can get a scissors case template/instructions etc?), some metallic threads and beading needles (all for future projects) I just need to complete my needlecase now.

Bye for now!

HI everyone,

Sorry to hear you're going through the mill Chicky, have u thought of Depo injection? Apart from weight gain, it's been good for me. TMI but haven't had a period in years, odd but cheap! Lol!

Fos I made it to a shop with CSC in it today... I think you're right that the bird clock might have a good bird or 2 for my dad. If you're still willing and able I'd love a nudge

Ugh. Off to bed. Just shattered. Work is stressing me out.

Sweetcarer - what a lovely thought of your OH. Hope something turns up for him soon.

Emma - Gorjuss is lovely - looking forward to seeing your next update . How much more have you to do?

Aislb - great news about Charlie. :j. Dragons are great - definitely well worth the wait.

Chicky - hope you both manage to sort things out with Mum soon. I was going to have coil fitted 6 years ago to 'cure' heavy bleeding but they did a scan, found out I had large cysts and fibroids and had to have hysterectomy and I must admit it was the best thing for me that could have happened. Life had just become one continuous heavy period. They stuck me on hrt which I am getting weaned off now but I felt as though I got my life back. Hope you feel better soon. Well done on restraining yourself with candles.

Aneres - lovely looking ufos. Colours on fireball are great. Is there much more to do?

sk00bie - love your blackwork cat and butterfly pic is so pretty.

Still no stitching done here. but we do have sunshine atm :j.

Take care everyone

B.E.G I've got to finish the flames round the edge and then add white in between the ball and the flames. I think what's putting me off is the fabric has gotten so soft it's really hard to stitch.

I hate soft fabric - do you work with a hoop or frame?

aneres

I did the dragon in a hoop but since then I have got a plastic frame so thinking about it it may work in the frame.

Thanks Louise you've made me think.

The site is safe, i have used them before and the threads arrived quickly.

Just finally caught up, i've been stitching Beautiful Dreamer update to follow, sadly my granda passed away yesterday so not really getting much of it done atm.
