Once again, I'd like to thank Karen for sending me the most perfect chart! It was so perfect that I simply couldn't resist starting it. I had a look through my fabric hoping that I had a piece of white linen that was big enough...I didn't, but I had some peach aida that Chris said was perfect, so I decided to use that.
Anyway, I started it late last night, wheile Chris was playing Halo and through one episode of a TV show, so I didn't get very far. I also discovered that I had all the colours for the tiny sections, but none for the big bits So it's a good thing that I'm off to hobbycraft at the weekend.

Well we will just have to watch it grow then and wait for the finished result. This means you'll get lots of of course, as we'll all be so curious!
Good start!

Wow Angel! I'm really impressed--I guess that chart definitely was meant to go to you!! Great start on it and I can't wait to see the next update on it!! Hope you are able to get the needed threads this weekend! Sorry there wasn't a picture to go with the chart, but that makes it that much more exciting to watch grow!

hehe it really was meant to be. Thank you. I'm not really bothered about seeing a finished picture as the chart itself is perfectly clear anyway and my mean side is actually going to delight in making everyone wait to see it finished bwahahaha Thank you.
hehe pokes are more than welcome. I've got to find some threads for my mum on Saturday. She's running low for a kit but she has no idea what the thread numbers are other than the kit mentions that they're DMC so she's going to bring them to me and see if I can find the numbers and if not, I'm pretty good at matching them by eye now, so I'll do that. And as we're going to hobbycraft they have the full DMC range, albeit very expensive, but the full range. Maybe, If I'm a good girl, my mommy will just pay for them too as a thank you ^_^
our own Angel has a dark side it seems--haha as if!!
Sounds like fun trying to match up the needed threads for your mom's kit, but hopefully it won't be too difficult--great plan to get her to pay for your threads though--shame that they are so pricey--I'm spoiled as our local craft store carries them for a fair price--but they don't have much of a fabric selection at all--typical

hehe careful telling me that, I may wind up making puppy dog eyes and asking you to send me some At hobby craft they're about a pound each! My LNS has the full DMC set too at only 85p each, which is still expensive, but I've yet to find cheaper. It's really annoying because they were so much cheaper when I started stitching, which isn't even that long ago!
haha ok, dark may be the wrong word...how about puckish? I have a Puckish side ^_^ And ten points to those of you who know what that means
Yikes that's a lot to pay for threads--I'm truly spoiled in that aspect--but have to order anything other than the standard dmc threads. Puckish, doesn't that mean something like spritelike?

Yeah, I know right? I don't understand why they're so expensive either. Still, that's the price we pay for our craft. How much do you pay? *Is aware that she's going to regret asking*
hehe it's a Shakesphearian reference. There's a character called Puck in a Midsummer Nights dream. He's a mischevious, a sort of fairy...One character had the name saying something like bottom....so Puck gave him an Ass's head...because it seemed like fun...
Yeah, that's why it means mischevious, before shakespheare, the word Puck simply meant nature sprite or something similar, it's only since the character Puck that the term puckish meant mischevious and only because it refers to the character not the general pucks.
Bwahaha *scampers away to make queens fall in love with asses*
Impish definitely was the word I was looking for--just didn't quite have enough caffeine in my system yet--brain is still waking up
Our floss runs about 37 cents a skein, which is roughly 25p converted to pounds

You really should considering ordering from one of the US sites--pretty sure that 123stitch sells them for 44 cents per skein and I think they do ship internationally

I used to have a floss mom, which was great because she'd go to all the sales for me and get them for like 3p. But she doesn't do it anymore. I really should look into the sites though, I just haven't got around to it yet.
So it's a good thing that I'm off to hobbycraft at the weekend.
of course, as we'll all be so curious!

Thank you.
