Love the bright sweet peas Garnet & Wuthering Heights is coming along nicely. :applesauce: As regards books/subjects, we all have our own choices, part of life's rich tapestry. If we all chose the same theme life would be most tedious. I have read the Bronte books & enjoyed them. Enjoyed Dr ...

These are really beautiful Sina. Yes the shrine will look great when the temple is stitched as the half stitch you have done as the background makes the main part of the picture stand out. That is what I have found with Dimensions kits anyway. I looked at this design a few weeks ago, it is going to ...

Aaww, thank you all. Yes I have some colourful cottage charts as well as kits. One is plate design, Primrose Cottage, to denote spring in a set of four seasonal plates but I only really like the spring one. The autumn has other colours I like but spring one was first choice as it jumped out at me :l...

Did it this way for a while but when I had to frog stitches it meant needed to cut thread off needle but I continued using this method for confetti stitches. Added bonus of this method is as thread length is shorter not so much twisting. As Wendy said when doing a stitch with a single thread for eff...

Thank you both. In the last 3 or 4 years have needed new glasses each time instead of every few years. Have some Anchor cottage kits in my stash & also some nice charts. Will sort out a couple of the charts before I tackle cottages. The Anchor cottages I have are the one Garnet has done of Seaso...

An update to say had to bin this. The white thread on pale blue Aida was making my eyes sore. Tried over several days but no good. Sorry folks. I am disappointed but don't want to strain my eyes. Even using magnifier my eyes became sore the next day so another one bites the dust!! My eyes are not as...

Hurrah for you going to the designer. So glad you have money left over for more goodies.

As said, a really beautiful peaceful picture, fabulous stitch work Serinde. :whoop: :applesauce: :applesauce: Should have got first but as long as you are happy enough with the award you got, that's what matters. Would really love this on my wall, I'd be one very happy bunny :D :D :D What are you go...

Fabulous as always Mabel, well done on winning a prize. Really is such a beautiful card.

Voluntary (used ty hear that piece of music a lot on the radio when I was a wee slip of a girl)

Thank you Serinde. I did get myself into a panic, DH doesn't know about computers but he dealt with queries re the new email account provider I have so we got it all sorted out. Cheers for the drink & yes, do give Alex a very large whatever he wants. Once I had stopped panicking I could see Alex...

I have had big problems with AOL mail help line. When I wanted to know how to do something reply was sent asking me to give all my personal details!! O f course, I did not & replied that no way was I going to tell them anything other than my name & that I only had free email address so they ...

Good for you. The M Sherry gardening dogs chart makes you smile a lot
