Hi Im Janey, and I live in Leeds with my hubby and our 2 daughters aged 3 and 16.
I love stitching and beadworking, and am hoping to work out a good way to combine the 2! I also love reading, Tery Pratchett and Joanne Harris are faves!

Hi Janey! Welcome to the Forum from soggy SW France! My daughter and grandchildren live in W Yorkshire so I visit that area when I can.

We are a zany but fairly harmless bunch of Stitchers! We never bite but have an insatiable curiosity. SO jump right in and join us!

Hi Janey, welcome to the forum!

Ooh, another Terry Pratchet fan -- have you seen some of the cross stitch designs they do of Rincewind and the Hogfather? Not sure they do them justice, but they might be fun to try some time.

Hello Janey and welcome

Do join in the fun - and we'd love to see pictures - I'm sure they are just as worthy as any of us.

Welcome to the forum Janey - I'm in South Yorkshire, I do know Leeds City Centre quite well, my old firm's head office was there, great shops!

Take care

Welcome to the forum, you sound like you have many qualities that make you fit right in, there are many Johnny Depp and as we have discovered, Terry Pratchet fans too

Oh and the stitchy habit too

Hello from South Yorkshire from me too! Don't feel unworthy of posting your piccies, just look at my gallery then you'll feel worthy ^_^ Not everyone on here does stunning work

Terry Pratchett is an authour... of the discworld series I believe hada. ^_^

Hello and welcome, Janey. I'm a Terry Pratchett fan too. We have a large collection of his books and I enjoy re-reading them if I'm feeling a bit down - they always make me laugh.

BTW this will give you an idea about Terry Pratchett, Hada56. He writes a type of fantasy book where all the adventures are set on 'Discworld'.

My Husband and Daughter are the big Pratchett fans in our family, love The Hogfather And The Colour of Magic on TV so I may just start on the books

Angel · Post by **Angel** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 8:24 pm

My aunt made the mistake of letting me read the colour of magic when I was ten...needless to say I didn't understand it. I've only read one of his books since then (Nightwatch I think it's called).

Welcome Janey!
You will def love it here, it's a great forum.

Everyone is very supportive, whatever your level of stitching ability, I'm still around 'preschool level' I believe,
