The "no frills, no gremlins (hopefully)" cross-stitch cafe

ohh dear M_O_S.
I had an interview at Liverpool Hope for my degree and it was my 2nd choice, I liked it.
Hope she gets the one she wants.

Can i please post a public apology for anyone who thinks my 'moderation' of this thread in a bit to keep it lighthearted, legal and friendly has been OTT.

It is never my intention to upset people, just to try and keep the group a happy/ helpful place (especially when the attitude shown by a handful of new posters have caused upset and anger from people that I have grown to count as good friends).

However I need to draw a line. Seems everytime I log in there is someone ready to annoy me on at least 1 thread. I no longer accept !!!! from people in my personal life and refuse to put up with it online.

I'll be around periodically to check in, hey I can't afford to leave MSE!!! Will try and keep my diary updated etc (hey if I'm not posting here I might remember to do it there ).

If anyone wants to add me on facebook then PM me and I'll send a linky (or find me thro the MSE cafe facebook page).

Happy stitching to all.

Chicky - don't go. (I can recommend putting really annoying posters on your ignore list, it works wonders

)

Here is the blackwork rose:

And the cross stitch one:

Beadwork one is missing/lurking at the back of the cupboard, will look again tomorrow.

Off to look at replacement cameras, yellow photos and horizontal lines not good :eek:

Just lurking - really love the Blackwork version!

I think I've finally lost it. Last night I picked up some stitching for the first time since the weekend. It was the wedding ring pillow which should be finished ie made into a cushion by the end of next month. Adive just realised that i wasted at least 20 mins good stitching time looking for a particular pair of scissors that "match" that project:eek:
I did find them in the end. I think DGD had "tidied them away"

So it's confession time When I kit up a project I look through my collection of scissors and choose the ones that go best with the project. Does anyone else have any unusual rituals they are prepared to share or am I on my own here?:o

Scissor wise, its usually whichever pair I can find..... but if its a project I've picked from a magazine then I like to have all the threads for each project with the chart and material. Typical example of this is the newton bear designs which featured in the World of Cross Stitch mag every month for a little while. There were lots of these I wanted to stitch so despite the fact that the threads for the bear were the same I had to have a skein of thread for each individual project?! even though this meant I had lots of duplicates and more of the bear colours.

Chicky, I echo other posters. you are part of the furniture. You are not allowed to go.

Hi ladies.

Couple of comments in reply to old thread first,

MOS. Very nice finishes, I especially like the hearts. Nice ebay bargain too!

JCS. Very nice framed pieces, I especially like the farm scene.

New thread, hope it works better for those of you who had problems with the old one.

FOS. I don't thinkI have any rituals really, only thing I do make sure of is that I wash my hands everytime before stitching.

PAP. Look forward to progress pics of your blackwork.

Chicky. I assume you have been PM'd as I can't see anything on the thread but I agree with the others, don't leave because someone doesn't like what you do. If someone thinks that you looking out for us as a group is OTT then they can always stop reading the thread and go elsewhere.
