So I looked again at the dimensions toy shop design and was getting very tempted then I spotted this !

I've fallen in love with this and its OUT OF STOCK!

If anyone spots it anywhere, would you please give me a nudge. I've checked out all the usual suspects (sew n so, black sheep wools and ebay). Thanks :T

Never purchased from this site, but appears to be in stock

I've bought stuff from that site - it arrived safely in the end (took about a week).

Thanks everyone. I just came across it yesterday which was very apt as it reminds me of a good friend who was my neighbour for 8 years but friends for 25 + Sadly old age caught up with her yesterday (she was in her 80s) so not a bad run at things. Still sad though and not news I was expecting. She enjoyed knitting teddy bears and it was funny that I should stumble across the design. If anyone spots anything similar, then please share :j

Hello all

Some of you may remember me: checking back, I haven't posted in over a year, but I promise I have been reading!

I've been crafting as much as I can with a full time job, and a nearly-4-year old. I've got a stash of cross stitch cards ready to go when needed, and am part way through an Ursula Michael design: http://www.crosstitch.com/search?f=114lbfam12
I've also got about 3 crochet baby blankets waiting for a few friends to have their little ones

It's lovely to 'see' you all, and I'm going to try my best to post and not lurk from now on xx

I sympathise Ailsb

I was all set to get the kids in bed by 7 and settle down to stitch for the night........................ the youngest has eventually given in at 10pm.

I actually broke down in tears i was soo fed up of him not staying in bed and winding me up. I am now well and truly f*ed off.

Know exactly how you feel though don't have a great problem getting them to bed its the mornings that are hell at the moment, our 5 year old has been up and dressed for school since 5:eek::eek: quickly followed by the 2 year old who has emptied her bedroom over the stairgate onto the landing. Going to be a long day and I feel like a zombie already!!

Hi ladies.

Winnie. Good Luck with the giving up smoking.

JCS. I really like the Sketchbook Roses kit, look forward to seeing progress pics once you get started.

Chicky. Hope you continue to feel better. Superman logo is great.

Nmm. The pink bear is lovely and I think the pink text is perfect! As you say, black text in with the pink would have been too harsh.
The baby is cute!

Caroline. The sampler is really nice! Look forward to seeing the cupcake cushion.

FE. Hope you are feeling ok and your cold doesn't hang around too long.

Ailsb. I heard you screaming! It's happened to me soooo many times that I now have a permanent blank text document on my desktop that I type my MSE posts into then copy and paste them here when I'm done.
That way I at least have a copy to re-copy if windows does the usual trick of 'closing and re-opening a tab because of a problem' (that's the usual error message I get)


As for me. I hope to finally get back to my stitching later today :T I could have done yesterday but had a few things in the sky planner that have to be watched and not just listened to so I got those all caught up.

I love this design and I think quite a few others will say the same as Ursula Michaels' word designs are popular on here. We love to see progress photos

How impressive to have baby blankets waiting for new arrivals

Yes I did - it is so frustrating when that happens and it takes all the pleasure out of replying

Good luck with removing the lines. If ti doesn't work have you considered contacting DMC ?
