Thanks mrs mp


Brednall. I like the Teacher card, simple but says what you want it to.
I quickly googled and came up with this but not sure if it's what you are looking for http://www.coatscrafts.co.uk/Stitching/Projects/tiny_toy_charts.htm

Also some here, they seem big but I guess you could take smaller bits and stitch seperately http://www.cyberstitchers.com/free_patterns/search_teacher

shelly - you are making me want to stitch a christmassy design lol.

re: collect+ - I only found it a month ago, but it is fantastic (compared to royal mail). If anyone wants to if I refer you (all i need is an e-mail address) then we both get 10% off our first/ next parcel.

that cute cross-stitch sounds a proper rip off - new crazy is here (will write up in a minute)- there is a lovely tooth design in that one.

eeeeeeek - watching Glee from last night - i've never been so engrossed in it - but after current events (even more current when this was originally aired in USA) I am surprised the episode was allowed to be aired.

maisy - the miletry is fantastic as is the coke lorry caroline.

skoobie looks like you had a lovely wedding day.

welcome 43teabags can't wait to see your progress. my Pink bug is almost finished - last few backstitchs to finish today.

I'm sure I've pestered before about word and tracking changes but I'm still scratching my head so if anyone can help with my post here , i'd be very grateful. I'm sure I'm missing something!

on and in cross stitch news, the curse of the not marking off the chart as I go along strikes again. Have miscounted on a penguin xmas card so now need to unpick....

Chicky - love these bugs. Could you remind me where the pattern was from please, although don't know who or when I'd stitch it. Seeing uour finished piece reminds me I must post mind.

Have found my stitchy bug YAY. Finished the grey turtle body tonight. Only two flippers and a tiny tail to go. Should be finished by the weekend.

YAAAY finally managed to get back online so off to have a quick catch up with you all (looks as though you've been really chatty while I've been missing).

Thinking of you and your family winnie.

Re: the faulty evenweave. I tried dampening the fabric and pulled it into square and it seems to have worked. I know I probably should have contacted the seller but the way things have been going wrong here, this was just another on the long list. Many thanks for your very kind offer fos - sorry for not getting back sooner but I have just got back online this morning. I have made a start on the Lets Do Wine and I will see how things go (watch this space - note comment to Maisie M below :eek:)

Welcome 43teabags :hello:

You made a beautiful bride sk00bie. Wishing you both a long and very life together. All that planning and hard work paid off.

Great progress Caroline on cola van.

I didn't really find much I would want to stitch in the lastest CS Crazy .

Collect+ is an interesting find chicky. Will bear it in mind for the future. Love the bug btw.

Love military pic MM - I'm sure your DS will love it. AAARRRGGGHHH re your comment on Lets Do Wine. I hadn't noticed the spelling. Have made a little start on it but worked from 'WINE' upwards. Is their anything we can do to 'fix it'. Will have to study it later. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Great progress with snowman shelly - lovely colours.

Good to see the mojo is returning Ailsb.

Took part in a walk at the weekend (in memory of our neices's little one who passed away suddenly last year). They are raising funds for the Lullaby Trust which is the new name for FSID. Everyone had a lovely time and the rain stayed away just long enough for everyone to finish the walk.

Off to hang the washing out. Feeling very stiff this morning as I managed to get our and mum's lawns done yesterday.

Take care everyone
