Managed to complete all 395 levels on Candy Crush Saga, hopefully my sewing bug will come back again now - just got to decide what to start next

Wow how did you manage that? I'm stuck on level 38 and have been for a week. Its a real time waster but nevermind its also fun.

I'm on level 89 now and I'm getting annoyed with it. I still like playing but I dislike the chocolate growing levels as I feel you rarely stand much of a chance. I've noticed since I've been playing that some levels are a write off before you start and others, you just clear straight away. From reading other comments people have said about the game, it seems they deliberately rig it so that you get so very very close and thus try to tempt you to spend actual money to complete the level! Whilst on the subject of candy crush and although not related, did anyone watch the BGT final on sat eve and if so, what did you think? Did your vote go to the shadow dancers? Do you think the egging was a fix?

morning all
sounds like good progress being done
sympathies to all those in need of it for works or life going wrong
managed a couple of hours of black over the weekend, cant wait to get off that colour now as it seems to be going on forever.

This is looking good. You have more patience than me to do a monochrome picture.
Keep stitching x

I thought I might get terribly fed up with the limited shade palette (there's only 11 colours and one metallic) but actually I'm really enjoying it. Only another two pages to go and I'll have finished the top "row" and be able to see how huge the whole thing is going to be. I keep forgeting that because it's all rolled up on the frame. It's only when I take it off to reposition it that I think "Crikey, that's a big piece of fabric!"

Mags - great progress its looking really good.

Winnie - your cushions really nice and finished so quickly. I've still only done about 20 stitches on mine. I started just before my Dad was ill and put it away when he came to stay and haven't got it back out yet.

On my stitchy front the lines still haven't come out of the magic aida even aftr soaking for over 24 hours. Tesco stain remover here I come. I've finished my friends leaving present, wasnt hapoy with it and now about 75% through stitching it again in a different colour way. Still haven't started wedding design for other friend. Need them both for Thursday. Better get off here and get my a*** in gear and needle going.

Oh b*^%$*! :mad:

Sorry to hear that - how disappointing. I hope you find a way to salvage all that hard work.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone could loan me the chart for the freebie 3 flowers cover kit from CrossStitcher issue 267? I promise I will send it back to you! I was given the kit but no chart And I really want to stitch one of the flowers for the person who sent me it as a thank you.

Thank you in advance, feel free to PM me

Afternoon all

Sorry I can't help you with that one Soulie, I stopped getting Crosstitcher ages ago now.

I'm stuck at 162 but I refuse to spend any money playing it. The chocolate isn't too bad at first but on the higher levels where you can't get rid of it completely its annoying.

I watched BGT but I don't think it was a fix at all, I think the people who won were always going to be the winners. I loved attraction and hope they go on tour soon. I think it's a shame that it has been so upstaged by one very stupid woman who has only managed to ruin her own career..


Back to stitching....I HAVE discovered my bug again :jIt was after I decided to start Joan Elliots Fairy Godmother, I am loving it. The only downside is that I just don't have much free time at all at the moment

I may have this but it would help in my search if you know what year it was published

Ignore this comment - have checked the website and realised it is the current issue - will PM you
