    Hello!

    Hope everyone is stitching well, I started on my design last night after hunting everywhere for white linen with no success, so whoever get's mine will have some lovely handdyed linen as it's all I had spare lol! Also hoping the colours suit it!!

    Mags_cat - I asked to join the group on Flickr, please disregard my first request as I thought I was in my flickr account and obviously I wasn't lol!

    Finally finished my first little mouse, it took forever on aida. For mouse no2, I've switched to evenweave and what a joy to stitch with, he's flying along. I don't use evenweave much but I really think I should, I love it.

    LFC, you've inspired me to start my mammoth Dreams of Atlantis, i'm going to do it 1 over 1 on 25ct evenweave, just so its not too huge, save my OH the cost of framing it, lol.

    Oooooo that sounds lovely, I've done a quick search but loads of different things came up, who designed it and I will have a good nosey.

    I love the ideas of mice, I've seen a few Cards done with them and they are so cute. I think I have a couple from a mag from a couple of months ago. More birthday than Christmas though :)! I'm around 3/4 the way through mine and I am seriously in love!! I think everything has come together nicely. Looking forward to do a couple more quick ones to give away this year instead of my normal stamped ones!

    Hello all,

    Just a random question I seem to have a few of the threads left of from free kits with magazines, how does everyone store these? Do you keep them separate or with your normal threads?

    Thanks
