nmn - beautiful bear. Have to say you can't notice the different colours in the picture so I am sure it will be fine.

beg - well done on doing all the words. Must get back to mine tonight have been too busy doing other ones which were quick and easy to see the finished product lol.

Ailsb - look forward to seeing the finished turtle.

I think progress will be very slow from now on as there seems to be a lot of colour changes involved. Still awaiting del of one of the colours I ordered online too.

Just had to give in today and stitch the little bird that came with WOCS. Nice to stitch but it has BABS :eek: Never mind its all done now just waiting to be made up. Lovely quality card and envelope btw. Just keeping card handy for any unexpected events.

No more stitching tonight as eyes are a bit tired now.

nmm - I think that little bear is so cute

Reading the posts has reminded me that y WOXS arrived yesterday and I haven't had a chance to browse through it yet.

On the upside, our living room is now fully redecorated. Took a flipping week (could only do it in the evenings) but it's great to get it finished.

My next task is helping my sister decorate her house for the upcoming gala day (my niece is in the gala court) and I will eventually get the RM wedding sampler finished.

WOXS Issue 204

Free Gift - Madeline Floyd blue tit. - Lovely little bird design. As b_e_g mentions it does have BABS, but not too much that it would make me not stitch it.

Tatty Teddy - Very cute but too much BABS so I don't stitch T any more. (I was glad when my sister outgrew him being her fave bear lol)

Letters page 17 - I'm sure the girl with the horses was in another mag? I've definitely seen that design recently.

Flutterby trio - Very pretty, not something I would stitch. I have to admit I was admiring the fabric even more that the design

Nautical ABC - Nice colours, Good to have something more male orientated.

Bonus Page - Stylised flowers - Don't like this at all. I never feel that I would be missing out on these extra pages if I wasn't a subscriber.

Wish Upon a star - Joan Elliot Fairy Godmother- Gorgeous! :jI really like JE's ladies, but never seem to have time to stitch them. I still have the three princess pictures to do as well.

Design Library (Happily ever after) How handy, just when I need to find a wedding card design to stitch Definitely a few designs there I will stitch.

Sunshine days (front of a bike with basket of flowers) - not something I would usually like or stitch but I actually think it's quite a pretty design, and a bit different.

Wine tags- Can see these being useful, and a nice extra touch. My sister likes a glass of wine so one of these might head her way, possibly in a card

The Yarrow Fairy. Now, I like flower fairy designs to look at, even if I wouldn't stitch them (flowers, ick) but I REALLY don't like this design. It's mainly due to the colours, but I fid it a bit bland.

Cupcake of the month (Fathers Day)......Still going strong I see......

Fabric Mice - Look like too much work If I'm totally honest

Stitchers Haven.....wow that's a busy design. Nice though, but not for me.

Not long just the name, date & possibly weight.

BABS=bloody awful back stitching, where BS doesn't go through the holes, like tatty ted kits etc :rotfl:
