Bit of an odd request... Anyone on here that can do a cross-stitch for me (and who doesn't mind swearing)

There's a bit of a long story behind this which I won't go into for fear of outing me or my friend but a very, very dear friend of mine has had a totally shit few years healthwise and is hovering on the edge of depression as a result.

She is such a wonderful person and has been strong for so much of her life but the last few years have been awful.

I've just had an idea about something that would make her laugh so much (it's connected to a joke we have between us) - a cross-stitch of the word Bollocks. Grin

I only need something simple, small (so when framed is only about the size of a greetings card), maybe with a few twee flowers on it.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to do this for me please? I'd deal with the framing side. I'd pay, naturally.

Thank you

Do you have a design you have found and like or want one created?

I'd not mind doing it for you. But do you have a design in mind or something created for you?

I'd love to cross stitch something for you. I have threads and aida galore. Just send me the message and I will sort it

I've not got anything definite in mind.

I've found this image online - maybe similar but more suited to fitting in a rectangular frame and with fewer flowers

That's great that you're all happy to cross- stitch some Bollocks Grin.
I didn't expect such a response.

How do I go about choosing one of you though? Eeek!

OK, I'll message one of you now - just consulted with DD for her advice (it's OK she's 18!)
