hugs to all

So sorry to hear this. Thank you for sharing with us all. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

here's the promised "IF" update had to take a new picture as the one the other day only had 1 verse done :rotfl:



Don't know if you'll check in but <<big hugs>> to 23rd Spiral - you know we are all here if you need us. (for some reason feel very strange saying "i'm here if you need to chat" on facebook but quite happy about saying it here. Anyone else find that??? I think it's maybe the fact I know people have "real" friends on fb and i feel like a phoney. does that make sense written down or just in my head?

Right off for an hour stitching.

I have a friend getting married late next month and Im thinking of doing a tatty teddy wedding cross stitch but they seem soooo expensive! the one I want to do is about £19/20 which if it was for a best mate would be fine but its a work colleague. does anyone know where I can get tatty teddy kits on the cheap?!!

I used a free chart that I picked up years ago. I'm pretty sure I still have it. I'll have a quick look after I'm done with brekkie.
Pic of the finished design is here...

morning chicky 'if' looks lovely
did a bit of titanic last night, thinking i should have put it awy till i stop feeling so sad as i just know everytime i look at that iceberg im going to be reminded of how i feel now.

trying to think of a nice birthday card to do for my other little nice she deserves something really nice so will go through my mag stash and see what i can find, i want to to her an angel but worried that might be too much for her parents
mums 70 in a couple of weeks so also want to make her a nice card.

hope everyone has a nice weekend, my youngest will be coming back from a week at scout camp, ive missed him so much so cant wait for a big cuddle off him tomorrow morning

You are making great progress on If.
I hope 23rdspiral is ok - I was only thinking about her the other day
The needles arrived on Wednesday - thank you - sorry for not letting you know earlier but I was very late home that evening and then "had" to watch the Olympics highlights programme so forgot to check the mail.
Am loving the Olympics but it is getting in the way of my stitching and I've got a deadline :eek:

many thanks - beautiful picture!!!

I was after one of tatty teddy bride and groom though you've given me an idea of doing something alternative (and therefor not as costly!!)

ohh thats ok fos glad they reached you - you never know with the postal service.

well my hour stitching was about 20mins as hubby came up to bed and disturbed me just as i got it out to do. I do have an "IF" at the top now tho :rotfl:

Hope your littlie had a good time away Mrs MP. I loved Brownie Pack Holiday and took a cub scout patrol away once camping which was fun.
If it was me I'd stear clear of angels how about brightly coloured balloons?? (and attach a message to a real balloon to send off for your neice?) (OHHH i've nearly made myself cry writing that )
