I'm going to frame it so it can go on the nursery wall. They are doing it in yellows and whites so hopefully it will go nicely.

I know the next project I want to do (boss is having a baby in March- seems like the stalk has been very busy of late ;) ) I saw it in one of my moms mags. Its that Teddy ...

Thats exactly why I did the fence first Plus it gives me a good guideline as to where the other subjects go.

The little bird has been made and I've started the kitty now. Hopefully it will be done sooner rather than later.

Thank you very much for your kind words and advice xxxxxx

My boyfriend/partner (always sounds odd calling him my bf as we've lived together for 4 years lol) sister is having her first birthday in May. I've really wanted to get stuck into a project for a while and this is giving me a good excuse.

I found a cute Nelson and Tibbs patter in one of my Moms old ...

congrats! Looks mint

Ah! right got you

Are Madeira threads on a spool?

I've ordered Anchor for this project. Dont believe I've ever used it before so I thought I'd give it a shot.

they are a fair bit cheaper than what I paid Cecilia, I'll book mark them for later. Though their postage is £2 flat out so I'll make sure to order a lot lol

I paid 64p each for my threads. I dont know what the correct term for them is. They are the ones that are looped together and held with ...

Hello!

I ordered wild westies III from sew and sew and it was lost in the post. Cant fault them though because they sent me out another one straight away.

That and the post around here is rubbish :)

Edit: I ordered from the at 2pmish yesterday and the order was dispatched at 5pm. I'll let you know when I ...

I'm in big trouble with two of them.

It would seem that my partner has decided (in his infanit wisdom) to chuck the one that was on my bedside table in the cross stitch bag of doom. All the threads have got mixed up.

I was doing Wishing Star from dmc fantasy collection and Wild Westies III both ...

ah thanks for that!

Theres a little market/hut thing a bit our of town but their stuff is so old its covered in dust and dirt. I've been a few times hoping maybe I caught them on a bad day but it was like that every time.

Buying online isnt a problem, its always nice to get something other than ...

DMC, Anchor... the other one that sounds like some sort of cake? Which one is the best to use?

Also, anyone know a good site where I can order them from? I live in Manchester city centre and its not cross stitch friendly (or friendly in general to be honest :) )and the closest hobby craft is about ...

Hey I'm Yelena,

I'm not new to cross stitch as my mom is a fanatic but I can never seem to finish anything :)

Things are pretty hectic in my working life atm and I'm hoping that really getting stuck into some projects will help keep my grounded.

My partners sister is having a baby in May so I'm ...
