Cross-stitch cafe 2010

This thread has been busy whilst I've been away. Some lovely work everyone.

I made progress on the Michael Powell, kept me entertained for the 6/7 hours we were snowbound in Grenoble airport anyway!

I'll post a progress pic when I can summon up the energy to take one. What with the delays in France, the car needing to be extracted from a snowbound car park in Gatwick and a complete failure to negotiate the snowy hill at home some 4 hours later I'm too tired to do anything much.

Depending on what they charge for postage (normally cheaper than ours) this could be really cheap. None on british site though, sorry.

Snap! I love seeing everyones WIP's. I will take a photo of mine in a minute. It is going to be a Xmas present for a friend this year (check me out I'm organised for once). Just getting DD and DS off to school/college then I plan on a lazy day sprawled on the sofa with my stitching too. :T Off to take photo now.
