Quick question ??

Still looking for suitable charts for an afghan, and have seen a lovely one on Facebook that a girl has stitched. She can't remember the charts she used and I would love to do it..

A = Apple
B = Boat
C = Cupcake
D = Duck
E = Egg

does anyone have any ideas.....xx

lol @ caroline. there's a few cupcake designs I love them.

Has anyone who subscribed to cross-stitch card shop got their sewing box yet?? Was just thinking I had a letter ages ago saying it'd be here within 28 days - must dig it out and see what the date was.

Evening to all

Back from our hols in Kent a day earlier than planned due to not fancying driving home in the pouring rain tomorrow.

Not the best holiday - didn;t get off to a great start though. We were meant to call at the Craft Festival at Donington Park on the way but we couldn't get near. Very disappointed but then I read on Faceb**k later in the week that it had turned into a great big farce and refunds were being issued so at least I didn't waste any money. DH says I can go to the Harrogate show next week if I want and he will have the children. Has anyone been to this previously and if so is it any good?

Not much stitching done this week - aiming to get the couple of coasters that I have started finished ready for the craft fair in about a months time and assess what i actually have and need to 'make up' into saleable items.

ENjoy the bank holiday weekend everyone

Magscat As for the HAED I am speechless. Are you planning to take a break when you get bored/frustrated or just want to finish something? Will there be much bs to do once the xs is fiinished?

There is *no* back stitch.

There are no half, fractional or otherwise tricky stitches.

It's all done by shading they tell me. I dunno, it's my first HAED, but having seen what other people have done, it'll be fine

There will be many breaks. Otherwise I'll go *more* dolally than I am now :rotfl:

Eventually.

Does anyone have any small pieces of 18 ct red aida that I could buy please. I need a couple of small pieces for some keyrings but the pieces I bought from Cross-Stitch-Heaven are 16ct so the designs come out too big forthe keyrings.

Regards

Emma
