    I was wondering if someone could help me out (again!). I'm looking for some bell pull ends. I find loads but they're too small. Has anyone come across some which are about 30cm? Also most of the places selling bell pull ends online are completely new to me, so can anyone recommend any?

    Thanks for your help.

    Well my Me day hasn't gone quite to plan and actually instead of feeling happy and relaxed, I'm feeling pretty grumpy.

    There are a couple of projects I have started that are stitches for my OH. One is an xmas card, and one is an anniversary design. The xmas card, well I don't know when I started it but since we are in September now, I doubt its going to be finished in time for xmas 2013. The other design is a cat holding a holding a heart which featured in Cross Stitch Card Shop. Once again, I've managed to lose the material (I had stitched all of the heart and started the paw) and so I've hunted high and low but not been able to find it. Why is it that despite having the pick of projects to do, I want to do this one?
  • Coxy, flower shop looks fabulous!!

    FE, i hope your fabric reappears soon. hate it when that happens.

    I don't know how many times I've mislaid either the threads/material or pattern for this project.....

    I've hunted high and low and in all the obvious places for the material today to no avail. I know it will turn up in some obscure place - I just wish that was today!
