    Mrs M - lovely teacher pic. Can you remind me of the site that chicky found. This is the one I sometimes use.

    luckycat - sorry I cant help re photo stitch. But one of the Cafe members is doing one of her nan and grandad so perhaps she may be along soon and can tell you which one she uses. I've never been brave enough to tackle one - there again my photos are pretty rubbish. Good luck.

    nmm - brilliant update. :T

    JCS1 - great pic and so cute.



    Sorry if I'm not around much but DH's neice is critically ill and we are expecting the dreaded phone call anytime. :( I will try and pop in now and again just to keep an eye on you all - so beware ;)

    Take care everyone

    morning all

    Beg, your niece is in my thoughts and prayers.

    this is the text to cross stitch converter i use http://www.stitchpoint.com/eng/tool/alph/cross-stitch-writing-tool.php I'm sure it was Chickywiggle who suggested it.

    i hope everyone is well, sewing machines coming out later to try and finish off the hanging and make a dog bed for DD1s new puppy

    nmm - lovely update

    mrs-moneypenny - love the classroom banner, very apt

    I have been busy with the V&A design. Didn't get any done yesterday or today as have been catching up with friends. Seeing Mum tomorrow too then out at the theatre in the evening, so will have to wait until the weekend to begin the dreaded beads :eek:
    Miserable and rainy here. Hope all okay.
