beg - she looks absolutely amazing! :T Can't believe you are hiding her away in a bedroom :eek:...why not put her somewhere prominent for a few months until your friends/family have all seen her and then send her to her bedroom? (lol)

Bobbis Mummy - Glad your Noah's Ark has been sent on it's way, it looks great I'm sure they will love it.. I always feel disappointed when I can't watch someone open something I have stitched.

Mrsm - What a great bargain :T:T

JCS1 - Love that design, she is coming on really quickly

That was the plan. My brother and family were due to be with us all for the weekend for mum's 70th but unfortunately the baby had a tooth coming through and gets sickness and temperature with it so they didn't think it was fair to stick him in a car for a 3 hour journey to us:( so my brother and oldest nephew came and have taken it back with them. Hopefully they will be back to see us in 3 weeks time as we haven't seen the youngest since he was 5 weeks old!! x

Chicky, i think ive done it ive got it saved in my puter so ill need you to pm me your email addy so i can send it to you.
i've just printed it off to see if it looks ok and its 8 pages.

not sure if ive got the spacing or the font how chicky wants it so if anyone else is also doing it carry on incase mines wrong.
I had time on my hands it was this or ironing

MrsMP - that's great. You've saved me a lunchtime job, might get a bit of fresh air instead. If I had the choice betwen ironing and doing something cross stitch related I know which I'd do!

Think I'll be doing it for christmas after all - will be able to chart some piccies for it at the same time.

JCS1 - great progress on Rosa :T Looking forward to seeing the next piccy.


No stitching for me yesterday. I've got about 30 mins before I have to start to get ready - to stitch or not to stitch that is the question???

Have a good day everyone.
