My first car was a Cavalier, Paula you can do this but I know it will be tiring for you so glad that your pacing today xx

Oooh Paula!!! Considering learning how to cross stitch. Where would be a good place to start?

[Paula]

Bothy Threads do some lovely beginner kits. Most kits will have the chart, fabric, needles and thread so the only thing you’ll need on top of that is a frame (I used to prefer a 7 inch hoop before I had to do it one handed and I found wooden were easier than plastic). Go with something that’s got lots of space (ie not every bit of Aida fabric is covered in stitches) and that has contrasting colours - so it’s easier to see where you’re going itms

This could be an issue. Quick look on amazon and I've seen so many kits I want to do

I love cross stitching too - it'll be awesome if you get hooked too Jaq!

Paula - a rest day? seriously? You're pacing? Blimey! Go you!

*groans* we’ve just got back from dinner at a newly opened steakhouse near us. I’m full to bursting

I know that feeling, you should leave the table wanting more rather than feeling uncomfortably full, I'm yet to achieve that state of affairs

Glad you had a good time

Sounds like you had a lovely evening!
