    Beautiful work sweetcarer. I cannot remember when we last had moussaka. Ooooh flapjack - I could really murder for a piece of that. :D Diet sweet things never seem to hit the spot like the real stuff. :D

    Little bit of Red Tree done earlier today. Had been planning on doing some this evening but DH is going to put a film on so I think I will give it my full attention instead of one eye on tv and one on stitching :D.

    Hope you all have a good week,

  • I bought a kit from photo to stitch beg. You can convert them online for free if you search around, but, due to the reasons i am doing it, i wanted it to be done properly. Cost me £45 but the costs vary depending on how many colours are used and what count the Aida is.
