Wow, love this one. Congrats on the finish

Well I've picked this one back up again for now since I fancy stitching something bright and colourful after months of stitching White Tiger. Hadn't realised before just how confetti heavy this is in comparison :lol: But the confetti is well worth it, I'm loving how it looks so far and have seen sev...

Thanks all :D As for Spencer, hubby calls him the energizer bunny, he is impossible to tire out. He has bags of personality and is much more intelligent than I am :oops: We got him at 9 months old from a family who hadn't done any training with him, didn't walk him and no longer wanted him. Well mor...

I still wouldn't have got that it was a dragon. I'm a bit hopeless, I was thinking some sort of weird duck with tentacles from the first pic Lovely colours though and I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

3rd page finished :applesauce: Think I may switch to Train of Dreams for a page or two now, really want to get that one finished too. But I want to see this one done. Ahhh decisions, decisions :thinks: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i269/sjlwilliamson/Cross%20stitch/4Aug13_zpsd1bddd34.jpg And bec...

Lots of people stitch 1 over 1 on 25ct because of how bulky it can be in confetti heavy areas. That may be worth a try. Or tent stitching 2 over 1. Worth doing some test stitching to see what you're happy with. My stitches never look particularly neat close up to be honest, doesn't seem to matter wh...

Can other people see them? I can see the lines on my White Tiger which is being stitched in 10x10 blocks but nobody else can. Nor do they show in photos as far as I can see. I'm beginning to think it's the fact I know roughly where they are so see them where others can't. I've seen others say that t...

Love the "good friend" one

Here's this weeks update, just a small one again but I seem to have more motivation to stitch if I keep posting updates :lol: Lots of white at the top of this page but looks like the bottom is a bit more varied. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i269/sjlwilliamson/Cross%20stitch/2July13_zps10f30d00....

1lb off this week

Fljotsdale, enjoy your time with your daughter

Can't say I've noticed slow delivery but everything seems to take forever getting to me here Don't really mind waiting a bit if it means I can kit up a project a lot cheaper though to be honest.

Ordered from them several times now and would definitely recommend them.

My grid lines all washed out when Easyjet somehow soaked my suitcase and everything in it. The DMC didn't run though. I also find myself having to re-grid because after a few months the grid lines have faded massively. This is the pen I use http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Fabric-Marker---Wipe-Off...

Thanks for the support :) I've been 140lbs before and was happy at that weight so that's what I'm aiming for again. Initially at least. I'm not too bad for snacking, portion sizes tend to be my biggest problem so I need to watch those. Need to exercise a bit more though so I started Zumba a couple o...

Thanks all, I'm really enjoying seeing it come together even if it's not going as quickly as I want! I admire your ability to work with no colour on such a massive piece, I could never do it! But I can see the head taking shape, and it looks fantastic. I hope the third page goes as well as you hope ...

I dunno actually. Things like buy one get one free deals are often false economy coz you buy something you usually wouldn't just because you get something "free". I bought 2 charts today, if it hadn't been a sale I wouldn't actually have bought any but coz I could get 2 for the price of 1 ...

2 Penfound ones jumped into my basket and stole my paypal details. Bad charts! Bad!

Thanks, when I've finished this page I'll be more than half way finished with the top row lol. Going to do the bottom row after the top one coz that looks boring and I don't want to be left with just boring snow to do after the tiger is finished. The detail so far is absolutely fantastic. Doesn't lo...

Love the cushion

I really should join this thread. I was diagnosed with diabetes last month and have been told I really need to lose the extra weight I'm carrying around. I gained around 80lbs in 6 months when they put me on epilepsy meds and have been trying to lose it for 4 years now (been off the meds for 2 years...
