Beautiful, thanks for link. Lovely to see young girls learning how to do it & also see the beautiful things they make.

What a beautiful cat. Looks just like mine, all black with very short thick fur. Jet has yellow eyes though as in my avatar. He's the one who stops me stitching.

This is a lovely picture you took of your cat. He definitely wanted you to notice him didn't he

Picture of project



The threads are in beautiful colours,the Aida is 18 hpi & good quality as Dimensions kits usually are.

Hello & welcome

Point taken. I've not been into Stash & Grab yet. Didn't realise it was like old fashioned pub. I'll come sometimes & have a glass or two of sloe gin if they have it, but as it is virtual guess you can get what you want. Are they calorie free as it is virtual & not actual, same as nibble...

This is kit I am getting threads & Aida ready for. 12 x 18 inches & biggest I have done. Will rotate it with Periwinkle Cottage Will have to put pic up later as PostImage not letting sign in, even got a new password & it is still not letting me log in;so problems like they had the other ...

Looks like your right Mabel!! I suppose 100 people killed/murdered/massacred at once must be the norm now, esp if you do not know any of them. It is just I was brought up to care for all- whether I knew them or not, But in future I'll have to keep my thoughts to myself, just make comments about craf...

The family were located quicker by a smartphone app developed by one of the mountain rescue team 6 years ago. When coastguards are contacted now they message back to download the app, that way people are found quicker I got more info on this rescue from BBC NW wales web page. Thank goodness the fami...

A couple with a 5 yr old boy were rescued from one of the Snowdonian mountains. They were poorly equipped, in freezing conditions & in darkness by the time they were found by the Ogwen Valley Rescue team. Rescue services alerted 17.30 pm yesterday, family had to be airlifted off, they were almos...

How beautiful, you have made a good start. Look forward to seeing your progress on this.

Glad it made you smile Mabel, love the picture you posted, that made me smile too

I am lighting a candle for those in Kabul & other places where there have been atrocities. So awful, not gone one month in a new year without mass killings. How terrible for those witnessing such carnage.

OMG still lots to do but as the song goes 'at the end of a storm there's golden dawn' so keep your mind fixed on The End & the golden dawn to come. So many nooks & crannies & boxes to search through but hope you find the title deeds & jewellery soon for your own peace of mind & f...

Very relaxing to look at & calm colours. Hope you enjoy doing the rest now. Look forward to next update

Thank you Mabel. I'm going to have a rest from this as I am bogged down with all the greens at the moment. Can put it aside for a few weeks & come back to it. Have been on it a month so when I get another kit ready will spend 4 weeks on that & do them turn about.

Glad you got that sorted & now the house clearance firm & estate agents can do the rest. Enjoy the marmalade.

This is just amazing. Wonderful work with the dark colours

This is lovely so colourful. I have not seen this design finished, just the geishas, so look forward to seeing it again

A lovely scarf, well done on making it & also I like your cross stitch projects.

This beautiful what a lovely picture this will make. You have stitched it so nicely it will be great when framed & an heirloom too no doubt.
