Stitcher I'm afraid there is no easy way to decide sometimes I ask my kids or hubby which one I should do next as I'm far to indecisive! Lol

sweetcarer- lovely purplework! As promised- here is pic of ailsb's christmas card sent to me for exchange (sorry for delay)


I thought it was particularly thoughtful that ailsb put a little note in saying she had picked the picture especially for me as I had a cat. Thanks ailsb xx

Stitcher

Maria and the imps - thats exactly how I am at the moment - being very indecisive! I think I will get someone else to decide for me. Thank you for the suggestion :j

Sweetcarer - Your purple work is amazing.

BEG - Your 12-12-12 project is lovely and looks great framed.

Laura/ailsb - The kitties Christmas card is very cute. What a thoughtful idea

Ruth_honey - I hope your card arrives soon

Sorry I have just been lurking I have been ill will a tummy bug. Feeling bit more human today. I suppose it was better to arrive before Xmas than during but now I am behind on the gift tags I was making.

Loving all your Xmas projects.:D

still no stitchy parcel

outlaw mummy did buy me the Jesus Christ Superstar tour DVD tho (and let me have it early) :j

It seems such a shame some cards haven't been posted as agreed for one reason or another - perhaps we should make a suggestion that if the recipient hasn't posted one in the next 24/ 48h then you can put your own pic up (assuming you aren't a headcase like me and forgot to take one).

Have you watched the JCSS DVD? I've bought it for DH as we went to see the live show and loved it but wondered how good the DVD will be. Noticed that the show is going back on tour next year

Good idea about the remaining photos

Morning ladies.


Ruth. Polar bear is very cute! I think the date looks ok, only thing I might try if it isn't too much of a faff is to take out the / and put in a french knot as a dot along the bottom line so it looks like 12.12.12. or take out the / and use a dash so it's 12-12-12.

Moments - this one any good

Maria. I dreamt about this design last night!
Never seen it before until you posted it yesterday but in my dream I was sorting out my stash cupboard and came across this as a little kit. As I found it I thought to myself 'oh, that's the chart Maria linked to, didn't know I had it as a kit, will get it stitched up'


Sweetcarer. I love the finished purple work, it's beautiful!!


Stitcher. I know what you mean about deciding what to stitch next. I usually go through my kit stash, put to one side the ones that talk to me then go through those. Once or twice it has come down to eeny-meeny-miny-mo
My next few designs are already decided on once the cats are done.
I have a really nice bird table to do and some xmas designs though I do have to decide what order to do them in. I think it might be an idea to start with an xmas one as at the slow rate I stitch I'd like to give myself a chance to get at least one xmassy design done by next xmas :rotfl:


Firefly. Hope you continue to feel better.

BEG. Love Boofle, very cute!
