The photo of the Cottage for July is out see here. Now is it wrong to totally change a design, is it a breach of copyright? I will not be stitching this as it is, as I am English and proud of it. And there is nothing wrong with People celebrating their national holidays, but it is not me. I hope that doesn't make me sound bad, it was the same for March I am not Irish so changed that one!  I am

This weekend is April's IHSW and I am looking forward to it as myself and Lucy are in Nuneaton for the Needlecraft haven Meetup, staying over in Nuneaton and travelling to Melton Mowbray to the Scout Hut Crafters meet up or if you are on facebook see here.  I really do enjoy these meet ups and seeing what everyone is up to. So the only excuse I can possibly have is that I was talking too much LOL

that there are more than one way to put Hexagons together...I didn't but I do now! (Can you see your fabric ?) Do you see the four groups of seven on the left, well they slot in together fine, the the one on the right does not fit. I hadn't realised that if I just did them as I was doing they wouldn't fit. That means I have to think about where I attach them together and it looks like I have

Well it was a foggy start to the weekend, especially as I was travelling to Melton Mowbray for the Scout Hut Crafters weekend. Saturday was a quiet day as many had previous engagements. Well I say quiet, it did get a little rowdy when some ladies were nearly wetting themselves with laughter! See the man in the background, well they were being rude concerning his drill! I got this JBW

I know there are quite a few reviews of these  Cross Stitch kits around at the moment, but I would like to add my input as well. Kit The kit came today, well packaged in a cardboard backed envelope. I had two choices from the website of what I would like to stitch, One had already been reviewed but luckily the other hadn't. So what did I chose... Tiger I like these design as I do love
