*wonders whether that sea horse would be the right size for an ATC*

:lol: no, much more fun to come up with something new. Last time I used an existing design but I am inspired by those of you who designed your own :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: !

I am finding a design to stitch, I am not good at designing, the dragon was easy, he is pretty standard on everything Welsh.
I hope I am not alone in this :(

I don't think it will be a problem. I am not good at drawing, so I am going to use something, too, at least to start me off.

Jilly, I haven't decided yet but mine will probably be someone else's design also, although I did once do a couple of labradors :thinks:

I'm going to have fun going through magazines and books first though.

Hi Jilly,
Please be patient with me. I've got a ton of stuff over the next three weeks. Next Sunday I leave for Boston and a speaking engagement. The following week is a major management meeting I coordinate, an interview for a new job, followed by our annual lace weekend my lace group sponsors and visitors for that weekend. I promise something special! ...it may just take an extra week or so....but I promise it will come!

lol CF, having seen a few of my friends start a families I think it's easier to go to work than be a mom! Looks like lots of hard work to me and definitely not 9-5.

Anyway I've hit a quiet patch at work so taken the opportunity to cut out the cardboard back - it's so tiny - have I got it right - 2.5inch x 3.5inch??? :oops:

Oops, posted in the old thread -- anyway, the design is ready but Alyson it may take a little while to stitch what with work *wails 'why do bills need to be paid? why do people want money for groceries?* and other projects *thinks of the Britty kitty pleading to be finished, not to mention a kingfisher that ought to have a few stitches done*. I'll do my best over the weekend though!

Un -- yes, that's the right size, and don't worry, if you look in the old thread you'll see it's amazing what you can stuff into that tiny rectangle!
