Does anyone have any charts of tiny hands and feet. I remember stitching them years ago on a bib but can't find them anywhere...xx

*Louise*

Just sorting my 2012 stitching...

18 projects completed so far (see siggy)

Still to complete this year:
19 - 12 Days of Christmas
20/21 - 2 x Christmas grave cards (I'm counting them as individual projects cos there's a lot of work designing the charts)
22 - Bob the builder for nephew
23/24 - David Tennant & Matt Smith for other nephew
25 - Song for my mum (already charted)
Perhaps something horsy for niece if I have any time left (possibly not)

Rolling over into next year:
Earth
Circe
Touched by magic
Royal Regiment cap badge

Is the Earth one the circular one...I quite fancy that one myself...xx

Louise - will try to have a looky over the weekend to see what I can find for 12/12/12. Years ago I did a nativiity trypicth (sorry for spelling) which I haul out each year but I have never signed or dated anything before.




Sorry if I've already shown you this.

WoW Louise that's quite a to do list you've got to do - good luck with it.

Caroline - re baby feet chart. I think I used a free Debbie Cripps chart for a new baby and just removed the words. I think it might be a bit on the small side for you though. Hth. Thanks for ex instructions.

Need a kick up the 'you know what' to get moving this morning as I was supposed to be going to gym and then we have got weekly food shop to do as I didn't manage to get it done yesterday.

Hope you all manage some stitchy time over the weekend.

Hi girls


You were a late bunny Caroline - pm received, thanks for organizing all this. Thinking what card to do - any specific size - or is it just a Christmas design?

Well I got work to do, then make up the lists for shopping (comparing shops before I go - very MSE), and maybe later do some stitching - hopefully. Sun is out just now, wondering should I put a wash on to hang out or will it just get wet later - yuk.

My neck and back are a little sore still. Some of noticed on my FB page. I had a wee small car crash - someone went into the back of me (or as hubby puts it I was rear ended). Car is away to garage to have a check - hope its ok - don't want to loose it - it is older (16 years old). All I noticed is the number plate came off and it was rattling afterwards - like something was loose. I have a hire car to keep me going. Not used to the modern technology.

Baby feet patterns - any of these any good?

Crumbs. lots of posts to catch up on!

Have done a little bit of stitching this week. Added a few stitches yesterday (morning) to the Woodland folk bookmark design I am stitching and started a small mouseloft kit on my way home. Earlier in the week, I was stitching a small christmas pudding design that I intend to make into a gift tag (hopefully I can make more than one!) and will continue with this too at some point. I should finish it this weekend if I stick with it.

Intend to sit and stitch today but waiting for Te$co to deliver my shopping this morning (spent too much as per usual!) and *then* might decide to go into town but not sure. May also tidy (once again) my spare room where everything gets [STRIKE]put nicely away[/STRIKE] chucked and forgotton about!

There has been mention of the Cross Stitch Gold Blackwork Angel. I spotted this in the shops and couldn't resist I also liked the advent calendar (By Durene Jones) and the Arts and Crafts Christmas. I did consider/am considering taking out a subscription to Cross Stitch Gold but I don't think every issue would be to my liking. I did also wonder whether it would be best to do the 3 issues for x deal (I think £5) or whether to take out a subscription and get the free gift - the kit this month (DMC Mill Pond) is quite appealing.

I'm sorry I'm not joining you on the xmas card exchange. I feel it would be cheating to send something I stitched last year ! and I can't promise I can get myself organised and get something stitched in time for send date. but it sounds fun and I look forward to seeing pics of all your efforts.

Its my intention this weekend to sit down and organise my stash and work out my forthcoming projects so once thats done, I'll pop back and let you all know what I want to stitch over the next 18 months....
