  • Here I am again popping up like a bad penny!!!! Sorry not posted recently I promise I check in every day and admire everyone's hard work. Must say I am loving the titanic picture.

    Well I finally have my stitching bug back only to find my husband has tidied away the evening star mega project I am keen to make a start on!!!! as yet it hasn't materialised. Sods law when I'm in the mood to stitch!!

    In the meantime I am busy looking for a bargain for a St Michaels Mount cross stitch (somewhere we took oldest for her first holiday and somewhere we will be returning this year) Found a lovely DMC one so just need to wait for some more pennies to hit my bank account then I will search around for the best priced one.

    Best wishes to all and apologies again for not posting xx

    If I'm remembering correctly, someone on here stitched a St Michaels Mount cross stitch for her mum. I think her mum works/worked there.

    OT-I finished my crochet scarf last night! :j

    Titanic is coming along nicely Mrs MP. It's going to be fab when it's finished.

    Ruth hope you a nice weekend away, I've never tried crochet before but my friend makes lots of things. Maybe I will have a go this year.

    Dolly is coming along really well and should be finished soon. I'm allowing myself to buy a new kit when it's finished so I'm quite excited! It looks like the weather is going to be rubbish this weekend so hopefully some good stitching time.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend x
