ohh was going to post the list but it's not posting properly...........
try this site - seems sowing needles and knitting needles are fine.

from what i can gather (from another site) around 2009 all the rules were re-visited and stupid things like needles were re-classified.

hello ppl!

back from OH's been cross stitching away but must remember not to do it in the pub anymore (OH is a manager for a well known pub chain and I while away time sitting at the bar just drinking tea and chatting and stitching) because I am now making V-day cards for 3 boys at the pub to ive to their missus's.


Sorry if its late to add, but as to air lines Boots do do air line size bottles for carry on for under 100 ml for a large range and others you can self fill. For perfume, I do really recommend the travelo from The Perfume Shop.... u take the cap off you purfume and "pump it into" the travelo (trust me when you see it, it makes sense) no glass, no breaking, made for such travel needs

oh and.... GOT THE JOB! (hehehehe)

I know, 'tis a palarver isn't it.

I am going on Tuesday, so I had to look it up myself anyway Isn't it just as quick to get the train, after all the travelling to the airport, and checking in and whatnot...?

Thanks for that

We did think about the train cos hubby hates flying (lol) - train would take well over 5 hours and cost over £100, flights , even allowing the full 2hrs for check in will be about 4 hours and only cost £70 :money:

Those Travelo atomisers are great. I bought 2 from Amazon a while ago & keep one in my handbag-gave the other to my mum. Such a brill idea.

Congrats on the job! :j

We're flying this weekend too. Off to Iceland for a few days. Really hoping to see the Northern Lights. :T

OH has been trying to read over my shoudler what all you lovely people post, amazed at the stitches and considering he thinks I'm a fast stitcher (I am not) is in awe at what people have done and the detail.

Im sure he knows I'm stitching him something and is just tring to ruin his suprise..... so have now distracted him with his lego tardis I got him for xmas.... hehehe.
Now back to stitchy-ma-foo

3. How does the 15 thing work? Do you have 15 projects that you work in rotation?

You can either work them in rotation or one at a time, it's really up to you.
You can include little kits like freebie magazine cover kits along with bigger projects. You can also include any WIP's and UFO's you might have in the 15!

I am rotating mine, as I think that is where I went wrong before, I would get easily bored!
I have almost finished one of my fifteen, but it's just a freebie magazine cover kit, but I ran out of thread 'cus the thread is really bad quality and it kept breaking away :mad: Thought I might have enough but it turns out I didn't. Not happy!

mrs-moneypenny

congratulations to PP on getting the job
debtdalek sorry ive just spent an hour pulling back issues from the two blackholes (the back of my wardrobe and the cupbard under the stairs) and no sign of the one you are after. will probally take 3 hours to put them back as ill end up looking through them and get distracted with things i forgot i wanted to do.
