Another update - I finished another page of the chart, but am taking a small break from it now as I'm going on holiday next week and want to take a project with me that doesn't require 80-odd different colours :) I'll be back to it before too long. https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7191/27540564102_4e38...

I've been going through all my old projects over the past few weeks and was sad to see this poor one has been abandoned for nearly three years! I'm sure there are more like that. Anyway, I really fancied working on this one so I've stitched two pages and am planning to keep going with it for a while...

Finally another update on this one. It's taken me ages to do a page as first I went on holiday, then I was sick and didn't feel like stitching, and on so. Got there in the end though!

:shock: :shock: :shock: It seems I haven't worked on this poor project since September 2013! I didn't think it was THAT long. How time flies. Anyway, I've finally finished the row I was working on. There's still quite a long way to go with this one but I'll get it done eventually :) https://farm2.st...

Another update on this one. I completed another page and some of the shapes crossed over onto the page above so I finished those too

Fab, how lovely for her. Winnie is in an envelope waiting to go in tonight's post from work

It's gorgeous, well done on a wonderful finish

I do Slimming World. I run the check-in till at my local group so I don't have any excuses - I can't not go! :lol: But I've still been messing about for a year out of target. I only need to lose 10 pounds, but I've kept losing focus. Anyway, hoping for a better result this time. I'm going on holiday...

Beautiful finish, well done

We have a winner! I put the names in a random picker and it came up with Niki.

Your idea of the learn to stitch package for your friend is great. Nice to know Winnie will go to a good home. Please PM me with your address and I'll send it off on Monday

Thank you for all the lovely comments.

I haven't stitched as much as I'd like over Christmas, but I'm not too far off posting an update for the lighthouse. Then Floatilla will be taking a turn

A friend of mine who doesn't stitch was given this little Christmas card kit, and it was passed onto me but it's not something I would stitch. So it's free to a good home. I haven't opened the sealed plastic, but I can see there is fabric, a thread holder, unsorted threads, a card and envelope, need...

Awesome, thanks for your help Carole. I'll upload the photo when I get home. xx

I'm not sure where to post this or even if I'm allowed to so I'd appreciate some help. Someone gave me a little Winnie the Pooh Christmas card kit which I won't stitch and I want to give it away to someone who'll appreciate it. I don't want to sell it, it's free. I posted it on a Facebook cross stit...

Thank you everybody! :) The nasty flu is finally gone. It started on 4 December, typically while I was in London on my works Christmas day out. The boss took us for lunch at Wagamama and then up the Shard. Then we went for cocktails and I started feeling rough, so everyone else went to a steak resta...

Ta-daa! It's done. It took a bit longer than I hoped as I had flu earlier this month and was in bed for 5 days, then not feeling like stitching for another week. But it's finished now and I'm delighted. Now I can put this one away and choose another one to rotate with my lighthouse. https://farm6.st...

Another update on this one. It's my favourite project at the moment, but I'm still going to alternate pages with others so I get some of my older ones finished.

Another page done. One and a half more to go to the end

Here's an update on this one. There was a little bit sticking up above the page I was working on so I stitched that as well and now the whole of the left hand side is done.

A little bit farther along! Again some big areas of the same blues so not too many colour changes to hold me up.
