I agree that people who do not do "craft" have no idea of the time and effort that goes into doing something.My DH is a china painter-birthplates,wedding plates mugs,teapots.If it's china/porcelain he can paint on it.Recently he was aked what it would cost to paint an entire dinner service...

It is a well known fact that there is no such thing as too many Puffins(or Owls and Cats)

The Wagon BB (morphed out of the TW BB years ago)has also migrated due to server problems.It has been an absolute nightmare.Months of uncertainty.

You are not mean.So many people do not realise that stitching takes time plus it's difficult to stitch a piece that has no appeal for you.

Nicola,that is such a prettycard.I'm busy stitching a Christmas stocking for a very dear friend and with each stitch hoping she will survive until Christmas and hopefully for more years.

Sadly the Australian boy has been confirmed as one of the deaths from this horrific attack.His was not the only precious young life that was taken .

Thank for the Birthday wishes.It was a non event as I am in quarantine with a contagious gastric bug so family could not visit.
DH never remembers my birthday,but the cats said meow!

Apparently the little boy was in Barcelona with his mother to attend a family wedding.Father is on the way to Spain now.Three other Aussies also in hospital.Thankyou for the kind thoughts.

There's a seven year old Australian boy missing.His mother is in hospital.So many innocent people injured or killed.

That's what our Sally is all about-being the kindest of people.

Cross Stitcher magazine.December 1993 to October 1994.Two designs per issue.

I know the ones you mean.They must date back about 20 years

The numbers wouild be the same because Kreinik is Balger,due to Au ver a Soie not being diligent with their US copyright-at least that was what I was told by someone in the trade.

SE Queensland = paper wasps who love to build their wet mud nests in corners and framed needlework is so enticing.All of my pieces are glassed.

I've been following her embroidery magic for ages.Such talent.

I'm sure they did it to drive us stitchers crazy!!!!

There are some really nice people out there.Years ago when I saw my first piece of Hardanger I sent a letter to the designer Emie Bishop saying how much I liked it.Several weeks later I received her latest design(Christmas Stocking) and a lovely letter.Years later she sent me a copy of her hardback ...

Good luck with the cat problem Richard.Mogggies are very perverse creatures.They just can't accept the fact that cats and roads are not a good mix.

Happy birthday to both of you,and many more birthdays to come.

Nicola,here in Aus the needlework stores,and there are precious few of them.charge $1.30AU-76p for DMC.I would love to patronise my LNS but there aren't any near me.
