    Hi,
    hmm
    My grandson is seven years old,don't think he knows what he wants! He's got big ideas but the trouble is he doesn't realise how long it will take me to do it,but thinking about your idea perhaps his name won't take so long.looking forward to your pics.thanks for your thoughts.
    This is the one I really like maybe you could do his name clicky its from cross stitch gold issue 48. Or there is this one clicky called crazy for dinosaurs, but I'm not sure what magazine its from, hth :)

    I had a wee nosy on your webpage, even though you said there was nothing there...lol.

    One wee thing I personally would change is where you say you aim to answer emails within an hour. I would put something there about during office hours, maybe 9 to 5 or something as you don't want someone to send you a message at maybe 11pm and expect an answer straight away.....xx
    ;)I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY;)

    Hi everyone,

    I've done absolutely no stitching this week - booooo! Hoping to get some done tonight or tomorrow night depending on how I feel. I've strained my back at work today (I'm a gardener) and may opt for an early bath and bed :)

    Winnie - good luck with your new adventure. I too am insanely jealous. I've always wanted a haberdashery shop but don't think it will happen in a million years lol!

    I'm going to be doing some fundraising for my DDs guide unit. They are off to Switzerland next summer and need to subsidise the cost in order for the leaders to go with them. I was thinking of teaching the girls to cross stitch some small designs (flowers, hearts) etc to make into bookmarks or cards to sell at church. Wish me luck :rotfl:

    Winnie - I'm in the next county so looking forward to visiting you in your new venture in due course :D

    Tried a new framer and took in a piece I did years ago, one benefit of them being on facebook is that posting picture on here is much simpler as I can nab the one they took :rotfl:
