    OOh spent some time sorting out my stitchy stash this morning and it doesn't fit in its designated box so will have to spend more time on it! Had to get some wool today as ds has been moaning that everyone else we know has been given a new frilly scarf from yours truly and he is the only person he knows without a new scarf. So got some lovely thick blue wool to get started with in local wool shop sale.

  • Hope I've done the photo correctly and you can see where I've restarted my project

    I love that range! I think I have Pinetree Bay. It's been a while since I last stitched on it, so not sure that is the correct one. You're making good progress. Keep us updated :)

    Edited to add: Here it is! Found a pic in my UFO album. Not got far on it...

    EVening to all

    I have received the new DMC catalogue today and there is some lovely blackwork kits due for release in March.

    I will be posting a piccie tomorrow of something I am stitching for my daughter but need another opinion on the lettering. I think it looks too spaced out.

    Happy New Year to all my virtual forum friends. I hope it is a good one for you all

    Oh dear, what a pain, having to spend more time sorting stitchy stash :D;)
    I have a new box to stash stitchy stuff in and I'm putting off sorting it out because I really enjoy doing it so want the feeling of looking forward to doing it to last a bit longer.......is that odd? :rotfl:


    Poohspals. Nice update pic.
