Getting there (148/365) by Mags_cat, on Flickr

Making progress...I'd forgotten how hard it is stitching white onto white evenweave

nmm - glad you've managed to find the chart. It would have been such a waste if you'd had it all the time and ended up buying the bookzine (?) to get it again.

Chicky - I don't watch the voice didn't like it once they stopped the turning around bit. Was it a good shock?

Mags - your scene is coming along well. The horse already looks realistic. I agree it's a pain stitiching white on white.

Managed to get a third of my bag for mu aunt completed yesterday and sorted a frame for my nephews wedding sampler. Son has music lesson tonight so while I'm waiting for him I am going to take my threads and sort the colours out - at least it's a start!

Have a good day everyone, I'm off to work shortly:(

love the horses mags_cat. I hate stitching white on white aida let alone evenweave.

no ailsb not a good shock - the 2 that we were convinced would be in the final both lost the public vote .... it defo doesn't come down to "the voice" where the public are concerned. don't normally like singing shows but BBC does tend to do ones I'll watch: Fame acadamy, how do you solve a problem like (Jesus Christ next yay), and this.

in stitchy news....................nada.........will get cracking tonight (and try and remember to post the update pic.

eta: just seen "how do you solve" is moving to ITV this year - booooo.

Afternoon all - flying visit from me, been sorting the house all morning, just heading out to the garden to stitch for a while (not Circe though, something small) - I've got about an hour before the full sunlight hits it. (Jeez I sound like a vampire ):rotfl:I like nice weather but don't like to sit and bake

FOS - What a cheek, I would have had to point out the error of his ways!!

Sweetcarer - Nice to see you have made a good start

Mags - It's looking lovely, good to see the horse appearing

Mrsm - Really sorry hear that, you must all be so worried, I hope she gets better soon

(hmmmm not sure about the new FLIKR upload facility).

But here it is - just 2 pages left to go (top corner which i've started) and the middle.

Off for an hour and a bit stitchy time while DS1 is at nursery and DS2 naps.

Louise - belated happy anniversary wishes for yesterday - hope you enjoyed the day

sweetcarer - hope you are enjoying your lavender stitching

mags cat - you are making really good progress though I don't envy you the white on white (and expecially not if you are trying to stitch in this bright sunlight)

Thanks for the sympathy about the BiL - it would have done no good if I had said anythng as he just wouldn't understand. Anyway all in all it was a lovely evening which is the main thing

mrs mp so sorry to hear about your niece - hope you have better news soon

chicky - I am very impressed by what you have done on PP - you are really on the home stretch now. I managed a bit of stitching on my cushion last night so I heard the semi final of The Voice. We were also surprised by 2 of the results (and judging by his face and subsequent comments so was Tom). We can't stand watching commercial channels live where you have to endure the ads so like you have tended to watch the BBC music programmes and were looking forward to the JCS one expecially as we have just booked to see the live show later this year.

Have a pleasant stitchy evening everyone
