Morning all


TMIF - not long to go, she looks great, I love the colours

Brednall - Congrats on the finish, quite right to keep it for yourself, where is it going up?

Shelly - it is such a cute design


I'm off out for the day Going with my mum for her first radiotherapy treatment then I have booked afternoon tea for 4 of us at a nice hotel in Edinburgh as a treat for her. I got one of this itison deals so it's only costing £24 instead of £56 :money:Mind you, I wouldn't have begrudged the full price cos she deserves it :T


Have a good day, and anyone with severe weather - stay safe xx

beautiful photos of finished pieces and updates.
ive almost finished the 2nd quarter of titanic, im just doing some ripples in the water below it then moving on to the other half, not looking forward to going back over it for all the backstitch couching and stars
must sort a photo out

louise i hope you and your mum have a lovely time at your afternoon tea treat and that everything goes well for your mum

THanks for the lovely comments. It's going in the hallway when it is framed.

Off to Hastingleigh in 2 weeks time - anyone know of any stitching shops in that area (Kent)? Hoping for some days out in the area including Blue Water if I can persuade my DH to take me.

Someone needs to ban me from ebay please. I see lots of little kits and think that they would be great for the craft fair but with all the will in the world, I will never get them all stitched in time!!!!

All the updates look fab, especially the finished framed pieces. Louise as always you are an inspiration. Enjoyed your fairiy tweaking.
Love the ladybird fairy, def on my wish list.
Anyway I'm near Gloucester at the mo again, this time we're house sitting for 6 Horses, 4 Dogs and 3 cats. Been here since thurs and prob head off home tomoz or weds via Bracknell to pick up my New Nikon D90 (2nd hand on ebay). Wanted one for years!
Right off to do some charity stitching and to get my stitchyness back
Hardanger sal is waiting till I get home as lots of animals do not mix well with white fabric. Anyone got any good links for working on 25ct Lugana.

Have a good day ppl

If you were to sell some finished cross stitch how would you go about it, im thinking of selling some finished ones, but i dont really know how to go about it, i dont really want to put them on ebay, i case they go for silly money. any ideas welcome

hope everyone has a good day

I wouldn't normally look twice at this design in a magazine, but it's amazing how lovely it has turned out. Bet it looks stunning hanging up. :T
Handy having a DH who can turn his hand to framing:j

Am just about to start some stitching in the daylight - loving holidays and good light for stitching in.

Did intend to start last night but ended up 'tidying' my threads as I found a whole bunch more than I thought I had and there is something very nice about a box of threads wound onto bobbins and sorted into colours.......or is that just me?

Still on MPowell's welsh chapel but the end is in sight honest. Have no idea what I'll be stitchimg next but it can't take as long as this little one has!
