Cross-stitch cafe 2010

Dorastar

Got dragged out into the garden by two small people who were desperate to play in the sunshine - am hoping dh is home soon cos I need a nap and some sewing time and I have no patience left with the small noisy ones. Am going to stick my head in a huge cup of coffee and hope they go away for a few minutes:p

Now that all my housework is done I'm off for some stitching I hope to finish this card today as I'm fed up of all the cream tones it uses! Managed to do quite a bit last nigh but not as much as I hoped but hey ho...
Will talk the kids into watching Harry potter now!

Hi Gang

Here is my update of golden earth.




Really trying to work on it - as my depression is hurting me badly. I have a lot of worries and really trying not to let them get to me. Just an awful week. Anyway it is really nice seeing everyones work and support for each other - I don't have many friends - no one nearby anyway - so it is nice to have some support in here. Thank you girls (and boys if they are about).

Kind wishes to all

Hi ladies.

Louise, Kez, nmm, witchwoo and sweetcarer, your projects are coming along great!

Here's my update a day early because I am finished!! :j

This is where I was 2 weeks ago on the 15th,


This is today, all done!


I didn't give her any toes because they looked odd! I couldn't get them to look right at all. I think she looks ok without them but hubby doesn't agree.....but what does he know!

I am ready to go with the Fuschia Fairy tomorrow, threads are sorted and chart is photocopied.
I did think about doing a kit for myself and leaving the Fuschia Fairy until after but decided I'd rather do the fairy so that I know they are both done and framed then I can do kits for myself.
I think I will definately do the Rose fairy again at some point because roses are one of my fav flowers and it was a joy to stitch.

hmmm housework or stitching today? No contest:j

now that's just naughty! Are you sure Pigpen isn't listening. funfairprincess:wave:glad to see you have done your housework first:rotfl:I am a part -time flylady now I have found this area, 3 out of 5 stars will do me.

thank you to everyone for the welcomes, have done a bit more tonight of my flower fairy, I have the rose one too somewhere in my stash! (along with quite a few more:o) I have stopped going to the shows until I have just one suitcase of stuff to do. I have a quite a few large dimensions kits to do and am half way through "Rocky point", unrolled it the other day and my pins have rusted:eek:. Fortunately the rust marks are well into the border but hope a wash will get them out anyway. I have been doing that one on and off for about 5 years but as dorastar has said, a couple of kids can definately take up your me-time!

how do you post photos? not sure if I can do it.

*Louise*

Wow, everyone has been stitching so fast!! Brilliant updates guys :T:T:T

I haven't got any stitching done today at all - I went upstairs to clean and ended up emptying the wardrobes and cupboards and clearing them all out - am knackered now!

Sitting watching 28 weeks later, so will pick up my stitching now to distract me frrom the gory zombie bits lol

poppett

Some great updates and a few new members. Here is my latest piccie, week 3 of HAED "Garnet"

I upload pics from my pc to photobucket. Then I usually resize them to 50% of original size to post them on a thread. Under the pic you want to post there will be a few links (can't remember them all as I have turned most of mine off so I don't use the wrong one) I copy and paste the one that says 'IMG code' into my thread post (I prefer that one because then it shows only my pic, I think the others actually link to your album online)

I usually preview post to make sure it looks like I want it to then submit.

Feel free to ask for more info if you need it either on this thread or via PM
