Sleeping beauty is coming along well...we can see flesh lol


And we are doing so well at Olympics, I have been glued to the tv lol. Currently watching Andy Murray 2 sets up against Federer - what a final!:T:j

Thanks Louise. DH described the flesh you can see as her armpit - isn't he a real charmer :rotfl:

Haven't been on much as trying to get decluttered sorted.

Bought the Vervaco kit, To Have and To Hold, to stitch for my brother and have been plodding along at that in the evenings. Only done two nights work and have nearly the male side stitched. Although to be fair there is only full stitches and quite large chunks of colour. I will get a pic up later....x

Only stitched one of Cinnamon Cat designs, but wasn't impressed when there was no key in the sealed chart packet. Contacted the ebay seller who checked others in stock, all the same. The seller very kindly contact Cinnamon Cat direct and got a copy.

The backstitch in the key was also wrong, it had 3 or 4 different backstitch colours shown in the key with various dots and dashses, but on the chart itself it was all lines of the same (though there was then descriptions on the chart of what bits to do in which colour).

Lovely designs, just bit more thought needed in the charts.

Hi Here is the finished piece - at long last. Nowhere near as complicated as some of your lovely designs. (Click on the blue wording below to see the picture)



Sorry - won't let me post the image directly so hope the link works.

TMIF - Great progress and the colours are lovely. She is so pretty.

Looked through mags last night for birthday cards and couldn't find anything that inspired me - will try again today to see if anything jumps out at me. Wouldn't care I'm not looking for anything in particular (just something quick so that I can get back to SB)

Enjoy your day girls. We have sunshine atm but they have issued a weather warning for later in the day
