    Yes I'm mostly ok, the littlies keep me going, and I have lots of family and friends support.

    And, I can get lost in some more stitching and forget my woes.

    oh and who was it that stitched the Happy Happy House design - does it really take the 35 hours the mag indicates?

    I stitched it, I don't think it took 35 hours but I never time myself as when I'm stitching I'm also on my laptop, watching tv and playing with the dog so I get very distracted.

    DH laughs at me as he says I have all my entertainment in a circle around me.

    I did start it but placed it somewhere safe..... never to be seen again!! I'm tempted to start it again but have other projects to do first and do wish the whole alphabet was included. Would love to do my name like that !

    Hi!

    Today a friend gave me a Matt Smith cross stitch to do for her so that'll keep me busy for a few days!

    Happy stitching

    hugs to you and the little ones Bossy, you are coping fantastically. im sure your little one will treasure his special little tiger. are you crossstitching the stockings for your children or is it a sewing project.

    the dates were just something we came up with as an idea to set time limits for our stitching, especially if we put a date on them as we finish.

    Sounds really intresting all this talk - thinking of trying something but don't have all the threads so will might try a bit of it a time - need to sit down and plan it all out too. I have downloaded DMC colour charts so thats a start.

    The great thing about it once it's charted is that it's easy to just leave a gap for any colours you don't have.
    Can I ask where you dowloaded an up to date chart please?

    FOS - My plan for it is just as a display piece, to commemorate my favourite hobby :)

    Mrs mp I'm just stitching felt together for mini stockings to hang on the tree with treats in. What I really want is a pattern for an elf outfit for a dolly...

    Bossymoo Sorry to hear that, hugs

    Ooo I went to HC today, I dont go very often so while I was near I thought I would have a look. They have a 50% off some Gold collection kits there and 20% off the rest of their cross stitch kits. Thought it was worth posting. It might help someone if it nationwide.
