Bobbi. Love the LL cottage. I have a 'thing' for cross stitched houses, have a few in my stash but not stitched any yet. I have a LL kit called 'The Bookshop' quite fitting title as I am an avid reader.

Thank you. This one's called Marigold Meadow. We used to collect the actual lilliput lane models but got to a point got far too many and luckily managed to stop ourselves buying anymore!!

Hi guys, off to catch up shortly, here is my latest BD update only done half this week on it as I've got Brednall's AOY to do. Anyway this is where i'm up to

Ive ordered the cross stitch with wool on canvas - pheasant cushion (going to stitch it and give it grandma for Christmas) will I be able to use a hoop with it being on canvas?

mrs-moneypenny

winnie id use a frame as i think it would be a bit thick to get in a hoop and keep the tension once youve filled so areas in

Soulie - hope you are feeling ok.

Thank you, I am well. I have chemo session number 5 this week, which will take me to over half way there :T Having it on Thursday this time instead of Friday, with it being easter. My arms and legs weren't half as achy after the last session, but that night I was super tired and went to bed at 7.30 and didn't get up til 12 noon the next day lol Mind you, I'd rather be super tired for one day, than have achy arms and legs for a week or so!

Right, off to go sort through some more charts to list on eBay! Have a good day all.

nmm - lovely update.

Soulie - glad to here it wasn't so bad last week and hope this week will be the same. Sleeping isn't too bad!!

Just clicked on another thread in error and saw someone saying Happy Birthday to Chicky. So Chicky if it is your birthday hope you have a very happy one.

As I've not been particularly "with it" over the last few weeks, if I've promised to do anything for any of you can you give me a gentle nudge and I'll try to do what I said I would. I know I promised someone something but the life of me I can't remember who or what - sorry.
