Oh Debby they are lovely and will be a lot of fun to stitch I am sure. Soften the colour of the cat a bit to a paler shade and it could be HM Tuppy. :)

Look what arrived today! And I can't play with them yet because I've got a project with a deadline :-( . Never mind, they'll be there when I've got time to experiment.

Blimey, that's quick :shock: - I only ordered this from West End Embroidery yesterday, with second class postage! Not that I'm complaining, mind :-)

Canvas for a doodle cloth for my next Certificate module which will start who knows when, and silks for a workshop which may well not happen at all; but we live in hope.

We all live in hope, Mabel. I'm heartened by the fixes, work-arounds, lightbulb moments and general ingenuity of people around my corner of the world. A restaurant in the West Highland Way which sold a few wooden bits as a sideline is now a proper food and goods store for the duration, for example. We are sorry, though, that our favourite pub, which had hoped to open for takeaways, has been thwarted. If they continued, then all their staff would lose the Chancellor's 80% towards their wages -- the business being "up and running", even if they couldn't be employed (waiting staff, eg). So, no takeaway (which was how we planned to support them to keep them going for the duration). Seems short sighted, but I suppose what you have is a solution without any finesse -- who had time for finesse? :(
