Can't wait to start stitching it for Charlie's birthday in June and sharing my progress here - looks like a fun stitch

How cute is that - I love the Mr Men!

Very cute isn't it? I loved the Mr Men in my childhood, so very pleased that Charlie is enjoying them, and this one just looks a lot of fun to stitch!

So cute. The colors are so bright and cheery. That is one show we don't get over here, or at least I don't think we do. I haven't been keeping up with the children's shows the last few years, but the characters look like the type children would flock to. Maybe its on ETV.

I used to read stories to my children every night before bed, and the Mr. Men books were a favourite. It brings back precious memories.
It's a great chart, and I will look forward to seeing you stitch it up!

oh mr men reminds me of my childhood love it

Now that I have read more of the posts, am I right in assuming that Mr. Men are characters in children's books not cartoons? Sounds like something I will check into for my grandchildren. About what age group?

This might help Carole. I feel like I was reading them from around age 6-10, but I could be off by a few years. Arby's had some character as giveaways one year. I think I might still have Mr. Nosey around somewhere.

They are a fantastic series of books by Roger Hargreaves. The back cover lists a total of 46 characters though I think there are a few 'special' characters that I have seen on sale (Mr Christmas being one of them lol) I seem to remember a tv show years ago but my memory may be playing tricks!!

The Mr Men (and Little Miss) have their own website:

Enjoy!!

My children were preschoolers when I read the stories to them, but they still had an interest in the Mr. Men until they were around seven or eight, I think. It's hard to remember, exactly.

That is so adorable!! I loved those books growing up! I'll be following along to see your progress.

Lovely project. I can't wait to see you start it

They are lovely to stitch I did one not long ago which I've put on here this morning I love the vibrant colours, the bus looks great I look forward to seeing your progress

My order was dispatched today, should be with me tomorrow Look forward to starting right away!!

My son had the Mr Men and the Little Miss sets, 46 of each. It was when we realized that at the age of 5 if we said a number from 1 -46 he could tell us which book was that number in each series, that he was something a bit special. Turns out he has aspergers and has a photographic memory. He is now 12 and only the other day he was giving me all the titles in order although we put the books away a few years ago! Weird but true!!

Liz - I am trying to re-learn all the names, some I don't remember very well at all..perhaps he could help me out!!

My kit arrived this week. Haven't had much stitching time since, but have started with Mr Nosy and will post my first progress pic soon

My word! Where's my dark glasses? Very bright and cheerful!

First progress pic at last - haven't been stitching as much as I would like, better get my skates on if I want to finish this by June 22nd!

Mr Men is still on in the UK on a Saturday morning I think on Channel 5.

I have a 20 month old, hence my tv viewing is now all about peppa pig and ben and hollys little kingdom and I think its on before one of them!!!!!!

Looking forward to seeing more progress so you can meet your deadline.

I did catch that new Mr Men show myself a few weeks ago..think I preferred the old narrated version, but enjoy seeing the Mr Men popular again!!

I am glad Charlie has outgrown Peppa Pig, I do find that hard to watch lol
