I had a little problem - when I did a lot of one colour, and then realised I should have done it one stitch over....... and had to unpick the lot!!!!!! :oops: :( :oops:

Don't you just hate it ...

Thanks, folks!!! Just hope it gets finished in time!!! Due to circumstances beyond my control (!!) I'm not getting on quite as fast as I would like...

I'll post pics as I carry on - you'll all just have to keep me up to the mark!!

I've stopped the Flower Designs for now....!!! A friend of mine is getting married in July and both she and her intended are crackers about sailing and boats...

So I picked this up http://cross-stitchers-club.com/Grand-voilier?var_recherche=sailing%20ship" target="_blank" target="_blank" target ...

Yes, I ordered the range from Spinning Jenny in 2 lots and it cost £4.50 for postage (I don't seem to delete anything from my email!!!!) but I did order a lot of them at one time - so I didn't really think anything of it...!!

I think I read someone posing the question "Why do they not fly lower as the problem is apparently at 30,000ft"

My Nephew told me that it is because they use less fuel at that height, so my thought is "cut the number of flights and get these people home".

Or is that too simple a solution?

Many thanks, chaps!!!

I love Teddy Bears!!!

What are these designs - I don't think I've come across them...!!!

Any pics..?????

Finished the Sweet Violet tonight......

And here it is!!!




Time to start the next one.....!!!!

Ok, now the battery has charged, I took this pic...

The Danish Flower Threads are on the left and a similar colour DMC thread on the right



The DMC threads definitely look more shiny!!

Wonderful designs, and I'm told Danish flower thread is really nice to work with -- is it a very matte thread?

Hi, Mabel, yes, it's good to work with!! I only need to use 1 strand as opposed to the usual 2 strands for DMC/Anchor... I seem to have a touch of difficulty threading the needle with it ...

:applesauce: :applesauce: gorgeous flowers. I particularly like the Virginia Creeper wreath.

That was the first one I ever did!!! The one mum said seemed to be the hardest in the book!!!!! :D :D

Thank you, thank you....

I enjoy doing the larger designs - the ones that take months or even years to finish... These are fun for a change!!! I'm doing my 3rd one now, so hopefully a few more days will finish it.....!!!
