    Hi all!

    Some amazing progress photos, and so sorry about what happened to your stitching chicky! Has it come out? I really hope so :)

    Just wanted to share this one that I've fallen in love with:

    http://www.sybilladavisdesigns.co.uk/acatalog/St-Michaels-Mount-Cornwall.html

    I'm from Cornwall so I've done plenty of these types of kits before - this woman makes kits of Cornish landmarks. I MUST have this one! My mum works as a steward on the Mount and if I made and framed it, it would make a great gift! But her birthday's over - Christmas maybe?

    Stitch on ladies x

    Oh love that!! I have my eye on that one and there's a couple more of the mount that I like. I really really don't need anymore projects but have stayed on a caravan park in Marizion overlooking the mount so it holds special memories for me. Just need to decide which kit to buy then it will have to join my long list of jobs to do!! xx

    Morning all. Im getting rid of all my cross stitch bits and bobs free to a good home. I'll post piccies probably tomorrow evening.

    :( oh why do you need to get rid....... better not be man related. but very kind of you to offer it. Although i must be very good and not increase my stash by buying anything no-one said I couldn't look when offered free :D
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    winniepooh, so sorry to read this, its so sad when people cant continue in their interests:(, sending you hugs.

    chicky sorry i didnt read your post properly earlier and missed you saying it was ruined. you dont need us to say again how lovely it was and what a shame about wasted work and time so ill just give you another virtual hug.

    gulidus, that picture really brought back some memories, i had a jigsaw as a child with that exact picture on, i used to love doing it over and over again.

    did all my little chores this morning, shopping, posting, recycling, delivering birthday cards and gifts. have got the settee throws out on the line and cushion covers in the wm im hoping while DS2 is at scouts i can do some stitching

    well please go and do some keep your stash and enjoy it, if you give it away you WILL regret it and it WILL cause resentment.

    winnie you have us supporting you please dont give up
