Ohh that is going to be nice, looking good

I 'rescued' two Golden Orfe that were left behind when the house was empty next door, by the afternoon I had one very plump, satisfied Cat

Hey. A cat's gotta do what a cat's gotta do.

Re moving the frogs: what about survival of the fittest? If they can't find the new pond now, just think about dealing with their offspring next year...

They were spawning all over the gravel

and making a terrific racket underneath our bedroom window, and banging themselves against the patio doors, it was a froggy hell, at least they shut up when Dave put them in the new pond

Sorry to hear that! They must have escaped from Jilly's pond again!

Ha,ha .. yes, that's a good idea Wendy, we'll blame Jilly ... nothing to do with my bad chart reading!

Bad Jilly, letting the

escape again!

Oh no not the frog again, this frog is being very naughty.

There were so many outside again last night, trying to keep them in the pond is impossible, I took the torch out and shone it round the gravel, they all shut up and just watched me, quite menacing

even the Cat stayed in a lot

Watch out for the rainy nights, they are the ones they love best

Ok, the dolphin has been duly frogged

and I have managed to stitch a little of it again tonight. So we're on the way again.
Will post an update picture tomorrow as camera is downstairs at moment.

I don't think this has been one of my fave projects. Not because of the frog, but so far, I just think it looks a bit 'block like' rather than picture. Anyhow, see if it improves as we go along.

Why is it that those "easy" projects seem to want to give us the most trouble?????

~threadbear~ · Post by **~threadbear~** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 11:23 pm

Yeah, you're right Rose, this one has been a pain, yet it isn't difficult at all!

Anyhow, new pictures since it has been

You're getting there T'Bear! Well done! you can beat those

~threadbear~ · Post by **~threadbear~** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:42 am

Thank you both!

I am not overly keen on this dolphin it has to be admitted, I would like something a bit finer rather than so blocky but I shall def complete it and beat that dreaded Mr

Oh he's looking lovely

- you get a bit further after every visit

Jilly · Post by **Jilly** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 9:10 am

I think he is lovely, once you have completed him and look at him from a bit of a distance you will love him

Love the dolphin threadbear !!
- it's inspiring me to try a couple of small projects I have with free designs of dolphins and orca.

I can email the pdf's of the designs if anyone wants them?

(.....also please excuse the ignorance, but what's with all the

in this thread?? am I missing something?? )

Why do we need pdf files of patterns when we can download them ourselves if we have the links available? There may be a copyright issue involved!
