    Oh thanks Chicky! My wish list is growing longer & longer...:o
    Would have to amend the coffee one to include Gingerbread (latte) though. Love those!
    And the ice cream flavours could be changed to Vermonster, Oh my apple pie, winter berry brownie, Baked Alaska...:D

    WHY is this magic.........well

    ...............but then I would have to do the matching ice cream one.......
    ............and the coffee one............

    In this house, every day is pie day! ;)

    I've got a sign I need to hang that says 'bring back big knickers!'

    Morning to all

    Looking forward to the weekend but I was glad when DH went back to work after the Christmas break. Back to a bit of normality. Doing a Community Fair tomorrow and I hope it is more profitable than the last craft fair.

    Here is the stitching for my DD I mentioned so I would appreciate your opinions on whether the name stitching looks too spaced out please.

    Here are the new blackwork designs too from the DMC catalogue. I love the top right one

    Have a great day everyone - off food shopping this morning with my little ones and my Mum

  • Emma - I think the stitching looks fine imo. Pic is so cute. Good luck with fair and shopping trip - I'm off out shortly with DH for the food shop too. The DMC blackwork pics look gorgeous. Are these new kits that will be coming out?

    Just filled the washing machine for the second time already this morning. Will have more as the day goes on when DS comes in from work with his heavy overalls (just so pleased to have him working again). Looking forward to the summer when (hopefully) we can hang the washng outside rather than having it draped all around the house. :eek:

    Take care everyone

    Love these blackwork designs - I think my favourite is the top right

    Although I don't think it is essential I think I would move the capital J one square to the right so that there is less of a gap between the J and the e. But unless you asked I wouldn't have thought of this. However if you aren't happy about it then change it because you will be looking at it forever (it's different when it's a gift that you might only see occasionally or never)

    good luck tomorrow.

    ohhh I want a DMC catalogue (is that a freebie tucked in it?) do you have to join their club?

    I think the lettering does look too spacy BUT not sure how you could make it less so with that size lettering IUSWIM.

    well bang goes my stitchy day got a list as long as my arm of jobs I need to get done before going back to work on Tuesday.
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
