Virginia is happily stitching away on the Kirk and Hamilton (now Kirk and Bradley) circus animals. She's got some nice tips on stitching fur and adding bling to designs you might be interested in.

The set was a club at Chandail a few years back with guides from Emily Pannier. I'm not sure it is still available but you can always ask the shop.

You can see better photos of the entire [unstitched] set here.

UPDATE: Virginia has posted more, this time of the ringmaster, plus information on where to find the set since it's been discontinued. Thanks!

Mr. X Stitch,
videos
Thanks to Donna, I have a fun video for to you watch this morning. The speaker is Mr. X Stitch, who runs a fabulously wonderful (and occasionally odd and always weekly Not Safe For Work) site on all sorts of handwork. In the video he talks about the commercial kits available in England, the arts versus crafts controversy, and how he came to be interested in cross stitch.
