Thank you Ruth, that spray is very expensive!

I was thinking about getting that book after I saw it advertised in cross sticher should you not recommend it Eric ?

It is, but if it's good, it might save your stitching, which is many hours of hard work. Googled a bit and on Amazon.com there's a specific needlework version. Why didn't I find that before my Mum went to America???

sorry i've hunted back 2 pages and DS1 is yelling................ do people know you can now recover deleted programmes in Sky+ HD (unsure of any other) boxes.

And also only if you have the new updated TV guide-which we still don't have! Most other people I've asked have already had theirs updated.

Hi everyone,
I am a reading rather than a poster. I am really enjoying getting back into cross stitching and have subscribed to Cross stitch card shop via the 3 issues for £5. I have through my door to day have the next issue with some really nice 3D peg cards that I fancy having a go at but they use 14 count plastic canvas aida. I have searched online but I cant seem to find any does anybody have any ideas where I could get some?

Thank you
Michaela

I second Sew & So. Very fast to deliver, too.

Cover kit - Fizzy Moon

Probably won't stitch it.

Boofle at Christmas

LOVEEEEE Boofle.

coming up trumps

am sure these Joan Elliot playing cards (or some very similar) were in a mag last year and I didn't like them then either.

Saint Nick

pah.

Perfect Pins

Might stitch emmm..... none of them.

Merry Christmouse

now THESE I like.

Festive Fellows

these are gorgeous.

Let's party

looks like the sequal to a set that I saw a few years ago (I remember stitching pigs and penguins)not keen on these ones tho.

Nativity story

double pah - perhaps in realistic colours they'd look ok.
Magic Trees

Oh NOW I find a leaf!!! not convinced I'd ever stitch them as cards tho.

Festive Faces

would make some cute gift tags.

Ruth - yes my stitchbows are in the plastic file inserts, which are then in arch lever binders (normal ones, not the expensive DMC binders). I tried to use the stitchbow boxes but I didn't like them. My plastic file inserts all have numbered stickers on each section so that each DMC colour has it's own slot even though I don't yet have all of the colours. I think I'll need 3 binders eventually but for the moment all mine are in 2 arch lever binders. It's been expensive to buy all the inserts and stitchbows but I love my storage system and now that I've got it I won't need to buy it again.

All the stitchbows will fit in 3 files? That should take up far less space than the boxes do. I'll need to buy more plastic file inserts, but those boxes are useless!
Thanks!
Goes to google cheapest places for the stitchbow files...:)
