I have promised my chart to b_e_g, but maybe she could pass it on to you after?

No problem.

This Flowers of the Month Bears is lovely - has anyone claimed this yet? If not, can I be cheeky and claim it - perhaps I can have a look through my stash and swap something of mine for it? I also like the other bear design but not sure it would be something that would ever get stitched.

Neither have yet been claimed, but I can put you down for it/them.
The trade or not is up to you, but I'd love to see what you have to offer if it isn't too cheeky of me to say so.

nmm - great BD update. You're racing along now. :T

FE - sorry to hear about your unpicking - it is so easy to get the whites mixed up. Pleased to see you have the stitchy bug back. Which Margaret Sherry are you doing?

Coffee - don't be afraid to join in the Exchange. We all know how much effort has been put into the pieces. If you need any help re the making up of things - just ask for help and someone will be able to offer advice or point you in the right direction. Have a think about it - no pressure

Mrs T_M_ - great haul. :T

Sorry for all the posts but I have just been trying to keep up with all the posts.

Did a bit of stitching on Nordic Santa (not a lot) as it has been very poor light wise here today and by the time I manage to get off the laptop I think the eyes will have packed in for the night.

Louise - do you think that Charles Craft Stardust Aida 14 count will work for the Nativity pic?

Take care everyone

Nmm - love the update on BD, I have put the wolves to one side at the moment as I wanted to get some Christmas bits done.

Ok please don't take this the wrong way but that is a rubbish excuse not to join in the fun Honestly not one person would be disappointed with what you stitched, we all said last year how nice it was to stitch something for someone who would actually appreciate the time and effort put in. Your design can be as simple as you like, for example my family xmas cards this year are going to be blackwork cards which are quick and easy. We will help with mounting the card or making the ornament etc. If you want to join in do it, it'll be fun I promise

Couldn't have put it better myself - well said nmm :T:T:T


Cards are easy enough and there isn't a single person on this board who would criticise someone's work, they would simply appreciate the time and effort which went into making it

I just googled it - yes it looks like it would be perfect :T


Ps - Why no more posts tonight? I never realised we had a limit :rotfl: (in other words - post as much as you want, the more the better!)


Browsing here and watching 'Proud and on Benefits. Recognised the woman as a regular on the Jeremy Kyle show, she is some piece of work (yes, I watch it!) :rotfl:


Will get back to stitching, hoping to finish off a Hello Kitty ballerina I started on Saturday for DD

I agree with both of you. Finished the Rock symbol tonight will try to post photo tomorrow.

Tried to subscribe to online subscription to Just Cross Stitch tonight but it won't take my money. Will have to try again tomorrow.

Be prepared to lose a few hours once you have subscribed

I have found some beautiful designs on the site and have saved all the previous issues to my laptop. So many lovely designs and so little time :mad:

MOS - did you have any problems subscribing? I'm entering all of the details including csrd number and the site just sits there doing nothing.
