Can someone please do me a favour
In the scandi style book given with cross stitcher a few months ago are the patterns for the decorative bauble duo pages 20 and 21 the same, I have 2 identical patterns for peace and no pattern for Noel, just wondering if it is a whole issue problem or a batch problem before I email them. Thanks

I have managed a couple of hours sewing so I'm really pleased.still very slow so not done a lot but every stitch counts.

Chicky- Did you ever get the sub gift... I'm still waiting.

do you know..........I didn't!! might just e-mail them again.......
(yes it was a different company to the one above)..............ETA: done.... lets see if they respond.

sorry Maria not sure I got that one, oh you found it (must read the thread in order and not backwards lol).

Spent this pm sorting my thread box out and putting it nicley into boxes like my Anchor pressie was Have ordered another set of DMC stickers (seem to have lost my leftover ones) so I can mark up blank bobbins for the missing ones and once my printer is plugged in and working I will print off the chart to tick off.

Decided there is no point in keeping the unbrandeds (various colours) so if anyone can make use of them let me know.

Kids in bed, bath had time to crash and crack on with DOH. will finish sorting my threads when I get my stickers
Thought I'd watch this "....sings disney songs" that I taped the other day but real people singing the songs has made it loose their magicness.
................ohhhh but I do LOVE this phil collins one - "you'll be in my heart" from Tarzen one of my top 10.

Told hubby & DS1 I had downloaded Muppet Babies today and he asked if I was ever gonna grow up :rotfl:

Had to scrap slow cooked beef tea on sunday as I caved and bought some casserole slow cook beef today - 3h in the oven and it was LUSH made into a pie with mash.

i need to do the lottery.........................

What is the betting that out of about 20 skeins to wind onto bobbins and around 50 blank/ pre-used bobbins I would pick a skein up then .... at random... pick a bobbin with THE EXACT colour number on?????????????

where issss everybody...................????????????????
come backkkk - all is forgiven

right NOW I shall pick up my stitching....before I fall asleep!! decided to finish sorting my threads out tonight lol. Kids have a lot to answer for.............there were 2 needles with it all earlier..........but they aren't there now - am not even gonna THINK about what they have done with them.
