Morning all :wave:

I am in two minds what to do today. Part of me thinks I want to pop into town but I don't really need anything from the shops and it is only the beginning of the month so not the time to be spending all my pennies. especially as I have a few birthdays coming up.

I'm also debating whether to chill out at home and stitch? and listen to one of my audible books? Hmmmm.
decisions, decisions....

mrs-moneypenny, Tinkerbell looks great. Now if only I had reason o sticth something like that? Did it take long?

Ruth_honey Still undecided on that one. Does anyone know if its easy to match up bothy threads into DMC. Is there a website or something?

caroline, well done on your progress with cocacola. Now I am really undecided on that. I don't know if its yor light/camera but that looks really dark Don't know if I want to stitch that myself now.

PAP. Look forward to seeing the 'half stitched' heart. Can you post the original pic too so I/we can see what it would look like in whole stitches too, just as a reminder. Thanks

Hi Shelly/all, this is where I am now thats half the heart in 1/2 stitch. And this is what its supposed to be in full stitches.



Still undecided, might just carry on doing the other side of the heart and decide once thats done.

caroline coke lorry looks fantastic - cant wait to follow your updates

pap half crossstitch heart does look very good, as you say if you decide to go over and fill the stitces once youve finished it wont be a problem -you could always use a different shade for the 2nd half if you did decide on full BUT i do like it as it is.
Tink took a couple of months but i had a fw weeks where i never picked it up so it could have been a lot quicker if i'd stayed focused.

already done shopping and halfway through putting away. got to nip back out for fruit and veg and take mils shopping round to her.
taking kids to see ironman this afternoon a late birthday treat for DS2
hopefully some stitching time later - or tomorrow.

The top section is darker as it is the night sky, but I used webcam so not a great picture. I will get hubby to take a picture later and post it up. There are actually a lot of brighter colours to use...xx

I didn't manage any stitching today which was a shame but I hope I'll get some done tomorrow.

I did sit down and watch ice cream girls this afternoon and I didn't fall asleep! now I want to read the book!

I did sort out a few projects but as per usual I can't decide what I fancy doing and no doubt if I decide on something tonight, I will have changed my mind by tomorrow!

I hope everyone has had a lovely day.

coke lorry and the heart are looking fab (LOVE how the blue stands out against the black).

Sweetcarer I am pleased to say I can completly see how those bits are you to a tea........ but fortunatly they don't need me to add them
