thanks FOS.

i have my eye on this... i love it. the design area is actually only 43.5 x 24cm so if i have a smaller mount/ thin up the border i reckon it'll be ok. not overly kean on the border anyways lol.

I like the look of this chicky

Anyone in Bristol?

Quite sad to see a collection like that being sold though.

****off topic*****anyone else watching 'superstar'?? to me the decision is so tricky cause of the 2 stereotypical jesus look-a-likeys (Jeff and Nathan). the only other one i can picture in the role is 'simba' (roger).

Would love Jon to get to the top 3 just to prove to Andrew he made the right decision putting him thro to the top 11.

Have to admit I don't like Jon much, althought he was good tonight. (Unlike Roger, I was surprised he went so off):eek:

I like Niall, followed by David, Tim and Jeff.

Earth, Day 20 - 5 pages completed.




Taking a break from it for a few days, going to get the pic for my Boss done and out of the way. Plus I am waiting for thread 3865 to be delivered lol

mmm - not the wolf picture I'm after, but thanks for looking. Love the picture actually. I must admit I'm like you, I've found loads of gorgeous wolf pictures I want to stitch.

JCS1 - my brother lives in Bristol re the cross stitch bundle on Ebay. I think he's going up to Yorkshire for a week in the next couple of weeks, I wonder if he would stop at sunny Lancashire on the way

I've bought two lots of those thread packs on Ebay now, one for my daughter and one for myself. They are pretty good.

Its both me and MMM who love wolves. Thanks for posting that, am very tempted....:D

Wow Louise Earth is stunning. How on EARTH do you stitch so quickly??!

Jeff is one of daughter's friends. She is actually on her way to London as we speak to see the show tonight. I really hope he does well.

Right time for an update on the eagle, which will be the last one for a while, until I get some of the Light Orange thread that I ran out of!

Here it was as of 27/06/12 - Total stitching time: 129 hours 10 minutes:

And here it is as of 17/07/12 - Total stitching time: 192 hours 25 minutes:

Click here to see in full view, as the pic has been shrunk to fit in to the forum thread. Thank you!

It has now been removed from the hoop and put away in a plastic case until I get the thread, dimensions haven't emailed me back yet, whether they will or not, or just send me some thread, as I left my address in the email, I don't know. But at least it gives me a little break from it and I can do some more on the Dalek :T

I think I can count this as my July mission done, right? As there is only 20-odd stitches missing?

Gildius. Welcome to the cafe. Can't wait to see more progress pics of your Wall.

*Note to self* NEVER visit China........:eek:

When I told hubby about Gildius' post he said the same thing pretty much 'You aren't ever visiting China!'
Love Earth update, it's coming along beautifully.

Soulie. Very nice Eagle update.

As for me. Not started my tinkle design yet as I'm waiting for the erasable pens to come that I ordered.
