Just wondering if anyone gets cross stitch crazy on subscription? Could you do me a favour and check if there is a piranha fish on the I challenge Lucie section? I submitted a request but not sure if it got picked. Or has anyone seen a small card sized piranha design, I need to make a card by april 3rd, thanks in advance

Received mine today - no piranha fish 😞

Still no stitching done here, too busy with work and now my dad has arrived for a month :j He is with my sister from Friday so hoping to start something new this weekend

Lovely little teacup, and the roses look fab :T

I had a bargain find yesterday in a CS. They had a sewing box for sale - only diddy, wouldn't fit my stash in it lol, but inside were 3 pieces of white aida for 99p each. They are 1m x 0.5m each. I paid £3 in JL for a piece half the size so I'm well pleased with my find. One piece is 16ct the other 2 are 18ct.

DH and DS2 are watching the rugby so I'm looking through my stash to see what to stitch next

Off to do a boot fair in the morning - haven't done one for 10 years so a fair bit to take lol, not looking forward to the early start though.

Have a good evening all
