  • You are getting so close nmm - its looking amazing.

    Would love to think that I could get around to making up exchange piece today in an attempt at getting organised ;) but I don't think it is going to happen some how.

    Great progress pm :T The colours are lovely.


    Haven't managed to make up exchange piece today but I have made a little bit of progress on some small Christmas cards but using a different design (less stitching) on some of them now - just to speed things up a little bit ;)

    Have been stitching custom birth samplers (small ones) for the past week. Have finished two and I'm working on a third already! I am posting photos without the little ones names on them just due to privacy, but so that I can share the stitchy bits with you. :)

    Hi everyone,


    Loving all the photos and updates.


    Annie021063 - the NYC piece looks amazing all framed up.


    pm2326 - love the jazzy snowman piece, he's coming along really nicely.


    JCS1 - how cute is that sleeping kitty? Love it.


    nmm - RF looks amazing, not long to go now.


    Mrs_T_M - lovely birth samplers, very neat.


    I've done some more on Girl with Cosmos. Having trouble getting the photo to upload onto photobucket to paste here. Will persevere....


    fos - wasn't the Blackpool Strictly amazing? I loved Saturday's show too. Can't decide on my favourite, too many good dancers. Have to say that Frankie and Jake stand out for me as they are so modest. Pixie went to Italia Conti (up the road from here) so has had some training in the past I'm sure.


    Sorry for going off topic !!! Off to do some stitching.


    Have a good day all.
