    Hi everyone,


    Lovely needlecase Mrs ceejay :)


    Feeling really low atm. Have an ongoing dispute with a company we bought a car from and had a mediation call today. It didn't go too well and now we are going to court. They have lied terribly about what went on and I don't know how to prove it. Has anyone been to the small claims court in England, and if so how awful was it? Sorry to ask on here but I don't know who to ask. None of my family have ever been to court so it's a real shock.


    Apologies again for going off topic :(

    Yup beg the compass cutter is for making the circle apertures, its great and if the card is too thick then I cut it on both sides which works :) this is the one I have clicky

    Love the needle case mrs ceejay :)


    These look like a handy little gadget nmm. Mentioned them to DH and he said that he noticed something like this in The Works today for about £2. The one you have will probably be stronger I'm guessing so have added it to my fleabay list for future ref ;).

    Morning guys

    So sorry I haven't posted for nearly a month, have read back over March and your update pics are lovely, I'm jealous :(

    I've not made progress on my stitching, the mojo up and went 3 weeks ago and it's not back yet...stitching is on frame in living room silently mocking me every time I pass it :o

    I have 6 days off from today so may try and do some, but then again it looks nice out today and once jobs are done I'll probably end up tidying up the garden

    Lovely update nnmm
    I've finished doing both the "one hundred years from now" and put the personalisation on one of them.
    I've had most of the family round today for lunch so been quite busy but everyone's gone home now so a bit of choccy, a cuppa and some knitting is on the menu for the St of the day.

    Hope everyone is well

    Great update nmm :T

    Have been out in the lovely sunshine today grass cutting and generally tidying up so sadly nothing stitching related has been achieved yet.

    Hope you all enjoy the Easter weekend whatever you are up to.

    Lovely update nmm!

    I managed 2 hours of stitching yesterday :j

    Sadly none today as it was just too nice outside and the garden was calling me.....2 bags of weeds/hedge cuttings later and my back is aching :rotfl

    Weather doesn't look too good tomorrow so may get some stitching done if I can sit still long enough!

    Was hoping the lovely would have continued until tomorrow pm as we have got Mums gardens to do mainly the lawns but the conifers could do with a bit of a haircut.

    Fingers crossed we all have some sunshine.
