gildius - China is amazing. :T

Julie - signed petition

fos - love the wine bottle - I've made a note of it and its definitely up there as a strong contender atm. Thank you.

m_o_s - I got two emails re XStitch Cards mags - really tempted

maria - baby's feet are gorgeous.

chicky - well done - looking great. Looking forward to seeing it framed . Your friend will love it.

How stupid am I??? Before I went out yesterday, printed out voucher for Hobbycr@ft (25% off) and forgot to get it out of the printer before we left. However, just for the record I still went into HC had a very very very quick fly around, spotted they did the mount board in large size and lots of colours (ready for hubby to sort Sleeping Beauty) and I didn't even buy one little thing. How good was that. DH said he would have a go at the framing (hasn't done one that large before) as the double mount I got from local frame shop for Michael Powell Cottage (lot smaller) was nearly £14. DS has a frame I can use (looks like new) so :money: will be proud of me.
No stitching for last two days :eek: and I have really missed it. Made an early start this morning, first load of washing has just finished, will reload it and might try and get half an hour of stitching before I go out.

Catch up with you all later.

PS Update on fridge freezer - found one - going to order it online today so that I can get a few nectar points.

Thanks to everyone who signed the petition, I really appreciate it :T

Maria - I love those little feet, so cute! I think I might have to have another look at the Making Spot

chickywiggle - That looks brilliant, I've always admired those designs. I think you've inspired me to add that to my to-do list! Well done!!

Hi ladies.

Maria. Love the little baby feet!

Chicky. Well done on getting DOH finished in time! It looks great.

BEG. How frustrating forgetting your voucher!
We done the same as you when buying a new freezer, looked around shops then ordered online as it was quite a bit cheaper.


As for me.
Got quite a few hours stitching time yesterday, though you wouldn't think so at the leisurely pace I stitch at
This last week for hubby and I has been quite a celebratory one. We had Valentines last thur, my birthday on sat then yesterday was 23 years we have been together!

Cor!

Is the colour you've run out of a branded one? If you give me the DMC number I can send you enough to do that tiny bit

Wow, that would be so appreciated!

The kit is from China and so all the instructions are in Chinese, but there seems to be the number 869 next to the colour I'm missing, and I've looked at some DMC charts online and it seems to match up.

Do you have any of that? There's only about 50 stitches left, I think.

You're saving my life :j

Soulie - I'm glad things are going OK

I have that colour too if needed. It's brown, right? Happy to post some if you want.
Will get chance to catch up soon...I hope!

thanks tried about 4 online ones last night (i recognise the top 2 names and possibly the 3rd as being ones I used) but they still come up HUGE - i mean 8 squares wide for 1 letter!!!

ohhh idea. I could frame it with a mount (fingers crossed I can find the right sizes) then write the saying nicley on the mount.

Or when you frame it - get the mount cut wider at the bottom - then print it in an appropriate font on to some nice paper and attach it to the wider section of the mount...
