Cross-stitch cafe 2010

Just wanted to say sat last night trying to finish my card kit only to find that I'm short about 1 length for backstich and do I have any in my box that colour of course I don't so I have threw it in the box totally peeved (although that's not the word I used!)


Thrifty honey! part time flylady:eek: just hope Piggers doesn't come over here or there may be flying mules! Re the pics I load mine on to flickr then copy and paste them on to my message.

Righty oh! kitchen then mass of ironing then afghan (you see how much I want to do it I prefer the ironing!)

Hi Linda
Its DMC 3371 brown. I literally need to do about 10 tiny stitches and 2 french knots. I have never had that before I'm always left with masses of thread at the end of a kit. No doubt thats my Scottish bit coming out in me cause I'm very [STRIKE]stingy[/STRIKE] unwasteful

funfairprincess - I have that colour...pm me your address, and I can get it posted to you today.

Still not getting any cross-stitching done these days...I must get back to it...though the jumper I am knitting DH is coming along very well! I seem to be too tired to stitch in the evenings atm and have soo much to do during the day...MUST try harder though!

Keep on stitching everyone...wonderful work being done here!!

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

That looks amazing - have always wondered how their stuff looks when it's sewn - am getting more and more tempted now

Hi Poppett, I'm sure you've probably already told us, but what are you stitching this on and it's count?

It looks stunning so far!

to everyone for their kind offers of thread. Much appreciated. I love MSE your are all fantastic :T:A

I have just took out the afghan from hell to discover that I'm on letter X so I'm well chuffed :T:T Off to do a bit now wonder if I could finish it by the weekend:cool:

Sounds feasible - what alphabet design are you doing?

You have just reminded me that I started an afghan a few years back for my daughter and never got it finished. My sister is due a baby in May, I think I will hunt it out, see what letter I'm on and try and complete it for her instead.

Here is my first piccie of my Chinese God of Wealth that I've been stitching for about 4 weeks. I'm about half way through my second page (which is actually page 10 of the pattern).



Fortunately there are no fractionals and very little backstitch. I'm on holiday this week so, as well as spring cleaning (although the snow is making it feel a bit less like spring), I hope to finish the page.
