nmm

Thanks for the lovely replies He was 87 years old everyone loved him, he had been in hospital for over a month but was due to come home on Friday as he was better, then he took a turn for the worst on Monday morning and died yesterday. Quite sad really but he is with my nana now who has been waiting 16 years for him :A

Skoobie. Love the butterfly, very pretty. I agree, it's too nice to stash away in a drawer, use it and enjoy it.

Chicky. Nice find! Amazon are selling them fairly cheap. From 2.65 for a used one depending on which cover design you want.


Nmm. Sorry to read about your Granda.

Well so much for not buying any stash - all of a sudden loads of extra stuff comes along at once and negates any money saved

So far this month:

Nursery photo - £10
Nursery fund money - £13.50
DS1 Home Ec contributions - £20
DS1 Trip - £10
DS2 & DD's milk money for the coming year - £49.40
(Some) School uniforms - £110 (making a start now, so much to get)

= An expensive month! :eek:


So I wouldn't be buying any stash this month even if I had a mind to lol :rotfl:

My aim is to complete Circe by the 19th of June, that's when Rapunzel is released in CSG. If I finish before then (doubtful) I will go back to the medieval lady.

I must say - I think I will be glad when I get back to a project that's on good old aida, everything is evenweave atm.

Mags cat loving what you have done so far. I think all of this range is beautfiul but this one is particularly stunning

sweetcarer what a thoughtful husband and the kit he bought is lovely. Re Crafty Kitten - I subscribed to their fabric of the month for a year - loved everything they sent and the service was excellent. You have probably already been answered (I'm catching up on older posts) but I think magic evenweave would work very well for the Jo Verso design

Emma your keyring is lovely though I'm sorry I can't help with other charts - it's not something I've ever stitched though I can see they would make great presents

Ailsb so pleased to hear the good news about Charlie; you have certainly been busy; you must be very pleased with the dragons and marshmallows - is it for you?

23rdspiral - interesting idea to use turmeric and cinnamon for dyeing. I'm thinking that next time I declutter my herbs and spices shelf that I should try some of the old spices for dyeing instead of just throwing them out. And if they add the scent of cinnamon that would be a real bonus as it is one of my favourite smells. A friend of mine swears by gravy browning for dyeing calico and muslin (some of you younger folk probably don't even know what it is but you can still find it if you look:))
