JCS1 - nice progress on Finishing Post.

caroline - you are making good progress too.

nmm - the fur looks so life like. It makes you want to stroke it.
The 'In Full Bloom' cards look really pretty and not too complicated.

chicky - well done with 'If'. Looking forward to seeing the vine/leafy border. I think either will look well (nmm or yours) depends on which one you can fit in. Good luck.

On the stitching front for me tonight - I had every intention of stitching a xmas card from WOXS (thought I would keep things simple till this week is over) and to be quite honest I just couldn't be [STRIKE]a****[/STRIKE] bothered to sort the stuff out. See what tomorrow brings. Not expecting too much really as I'm going to a funeral of someone who was in my class at school. She has been battling breast cancer for the past five years. Isn't it strange how horrible things seems to follow on after each other.

On a happy stitchy note, as todays WOXS was the last one of my 5 for £5, I have just redone the sub :j. I spied a little Michael Powell xmassy stitch in the next issue.

FE - hope you feel better tomorrow.

Take care everyone

Loving the new thread!!

Hope you don't mind me asking b e g, when you take out the £5 subscription do you have to sign up to a direct debit agreement to continue after the 5 issues have passed? if so did you cancel that and then just take another out in the same details? hope makes sense!!

Hope today goes as well as it can, makes you put life into perspective when its someone your own age

'If' looks fabulous cant wait to see it finished,
love the photos really nice updates
well done on finishing your ufo leemina, cant wait to see your photo of it.
no stitching done last night, rushing round as it was scouts night. tonight is jujitsu but ive got a governors meeting so no sneeky stitching tonight either. hopefully wednesday while Dallas is on.

Thanks for the lovely comments about BD, i must admit i do stroke him sometimes, i love the fur effect. Pages 3 & 4 continue along the top so it may be some time before you see eyes *Louise*

ohhh that's nice. but perhaps a bit too thin.

have just found this one but gonna take out a few of the leaves and put some gold stitchy stars on it. scrap that can't get it to print so you can read it.

Chicky, did you download the archive for the pattern or are you trying to print the picture? The pattern seems fine to me for printing

Hiya Bobbis Mummy - I cancelled the first WOXC when I'd received about 2 of the 5 and then restarted the new one when I had received the last one (yesterday) with the same details. It appears to have worked. Hth

I have also finally finished the Joyful Snowmen. Lots and lots of backstitching and then loads of french knots too.....

it looks brilliant, so stunning against the black aida.

Finally, after over 7 years have finished my big cats design.

eeek (my word of the month) can't wait to see a pic. if you can't display it here cause of post count then upload it to the Flikr group, give one of us a nudge and we'll put it on.

Morning folks...just a quick one to ask where is the best place to buy waste canvas?

sorry never use the stuff, hopefully someone can help.

I downloaded it but it prints really pale so its hard to distinguish the symbols. plus it printed off the page - I'm sure if i fiddle with my settings it might work..... but twas late....... me and puter were upstairs...... printer was downstairs (the joy of wireless printing).

FOS - love baby bird, tis sooo cute.

P.S Delivered Pooh Bear last night and they were delighted with it.

maria and the imps

Of to get the housework done so when little imp view to nursery I can watch Accused and sew, hope everyone is having a good day

I almost stitched yesterday when DS1 was at school and DS2 was napping....... but then i felt guilty for not doing the housework etc.

mrs-moneypenny

hope all are well, shame the weather seems to have changed again - much cooler and blowier here.

Tis FREEZING in the shade here today but warm in the sun. useless British summer.

subtle_minx - you have been busy. put your feet up for a bit.

sweetcarer - great progress. I love that snowdrop story how romantic.

subtle_minx

now looking for a tiny flying witch.

did you find one?? if not I'll root thro my magazines tonight.

*Louise* - your child with Santa stitch looks great.

One Day follows the lives of Emma and Dexter. They meet on their graduation night. The film (and book) then revisit them every year on the 15th July and we catch up to see what they are both up to. I would recommend watching it but make sure you have a box of tissues nearby because I didn't even get to the end and I was crying!

A much better discription then mine .
