Cross-stitch cafe 2010

Mrs_Toast

Evening everyone and many thanks for the welcome. I've managed to get some pictures of my current project thanks to DH. It's called Elgol and is a mountain range on the Isle of Skye. I haven't been able to do much cross-stitch this weekend as I've been in Nottingham for a party without DS :j

Bubbles911, thanks for adding me as a member. Please could you put Elgol down as my project to finish by the end of June.

Here is a picture of where I'm at with this project.



And here is a picture of the finished article so as you can see I've not got much to do :j

Mrs Toast - the colours are beautiful. looking forward to seeing it done.

:j Louise - you should be very proud! :j well done! :j and a great bonus to get a guy interested!

Dorastar - take care of that wrist, you dont want repetitive strain or anything nasty. have you tried wearing a support from the chemist?, or even poundland!

ohhhhhhhhh that is AMAZING and made me more determined to do one, hope my ebay sales go well next weekend then I can treat myself, can't believe how expensive it is just for the cloth!!

I sense a bidding war for the ones on ebay.... race you.....


on a diffferent note I have decided Discworld is my next set of books to tackle so if anyone wants to get rid of any.....am fed up of read it swap it at the mo no-ones accepting any of my swaps!!!! If anyone has any of the series (apparently there are now 30+ ARGGG that'll take me a few years) and would like to check out my RISI account (I have the shopaholic set to go on at some point if you wanted them) or if you can do em at postage cost let me knowwww PLEAASSSEEE
(I have tried freegle too but no luck there yet).

Emzy your parcel is in the post this morning.

Chickywiggle good luck on reading all the discworld books . My sons have those but they won't part with them i just asked. His actual response was i'd sooner go shopping naked in asda than give up my books . Think that was a no then. lol He got quite a few as gifts but did get a couple of job lots really cheap on ebay.


Louise that really is beautiful. I'd love to do one just like it.
