Hello there,

I've been lurking for quite a while (I am a infrequent poster on LJ), and at one time saw a chart that was sort of an aquatic-themed alphabet sampler. I have done some searching however I can't seem to manage to find the chart name (or even where it had originated from). Does anyone recall what the name of this chart is? I seem to remember very bright colors- vividly done- each letter of the alphabet highlighted with an aquatic creature or sea-life theme. I believe someone was doing it for their son(?). I'm sure it isn't the 'fish city' one, as it was more sectional, instead of a large open expanse.

I hope someone out there might be able to assist. I'd love to be able to find this chart at some point to do for my own son, who has taken a serious interest in sea creatures.

Thanks in advance,

Is anyone on the list from Charlotte, NC? We just moved here (as in, last week...I think). Are there any local needlework or cross-stitch stores? We don't have phone service yet (next week?) so we don't have a phone book for me to look in, but I'd rather have recommendations anyway. Thanks!

I'm thinking about my next project. I think I'd like to stitch this free panda design I found online, which I can't find right now, but basically, being a panda, it's black and white with a black outline. And I'm thinking I might not want to stitch it on white, because that would be boring. But what would look good? It's for a 5-year-old boy (for Christmas), so it can't look too outrageous. :p But I don't even know in what colors I can buy Aida. Any suggestions? I already have white 14-count Aida, if I decide to use white.

I'm doing a bit of rather late Spring cleaning, and have found some magazine freebie kits that I'm never going to stitch myself, so I thought I'd post them here and see if anyone wants them.
