Hi all, lovely updates as usual.

Welcome Annie, i'm sure I recognise the username from the lose weight threads, I was the one doing davina workouts in the HHE's, I think its you? Either way enjoy your stay, the owls are really cool

Almost finished page 14 on BD, i'm going to try and get it done today, I've had 2 days of no stitching due to being bitten by a dog last week (see thread) I'm going to take a little break from BD to stitch a design for a work friend who had a stroke last week, very unexpectedly. I said I was going to do a little card, then someone said oh we can all sign it so I need a bigger design, haha she loves cats so I went for this one http://www.sewingcafe.co.uk/Anchor-Margaret-Sherry-Floral-Cat-MSH0004 a cute funky design that will hopefully cheer her up Do you guys think it'll look ok on iridescent aida, as that's all I have in large enough or I have some 18ct cream aida but the design will be smaller, decisions decisions :rotfl:

Hi nmm
Yes that's me currently on SW and walking lots, lost 42lbs since Xmas so very happy, how are you doing?

Love the cat design, looks very cheerful. Your bite business was nasty, I would have been terrified. Are you a postie?

nmm

I'm doing great, I have my own gym upstairs cross trainer, punch bag and weights bench, I got bored of workouts, lol. Im a courier not a postie I wasn't terrified, just more shocked than anything, I love dogs so I don't want to be scared of them, but i'll be much more wary in the future.

EDIT: right the iridescent aida is too small for the design so i'll be using the cream 18ct, the design is approx. 4.5" wide, I'm going to add text and I suppose I could add a border to increase the size. I bought the aida for dreams of atlantis but its over a 1m wide :eek: so i'll get some evenweave for that I think :rotfl:
