hi everyone, i've loads to catch up on but not sure if i can - i've got computer problems and it keep crashing so i can't stay long!

sorry for cross posting this message but i dont know how long i'll hve before the computer crashes agan.

Im nealy done on the quilt square, just the french knott, extra border and my name ect to go... but as i havent been able to get on the forum i havent been able to see the font ect. so i'm looking now but probably wont have time to stitch it before going away, so at least theres 2 days at the end of the month left when i'm back. sorry to be so close to the deadline. wish me luck please!

I'm so sorry, I must have got rid of my baby charts (the youngest "baby" was 16 yesterday !). But I did find this freebie, if it's any use:

Welcome cassolete :j You project is so sweet!

I keep going through my stash trying to decide what to stitch after my shelf is finished.
I'm a little sad that I got out the 'home sweet home' that I had started before the shelf (the one I went wrong on) but looking at it I have no desire to carry on with it......for now anyway. It will get done, just not anytime soon

You make me feel good! Thanks for the kind words. I am loving this cross stitch, which is good since it's taking me so long. This was my first "big" project -- before then, I was doing things like precious moments. When I just want something simple to do, I sometimes do some subversive stitching, but those don't take more than a couple hours to polish off so they don't count.

May your needles stay threaded, may all your stitches be even, and may the gods of anti-tangles be your friends!

Hello everyone

Sorry for not being on for like a week. My grandmas twin passed away so we had relatives from australia here for the service and when they went i was left that drained I have done nothing but sleep since and then my dog was ill.

Anyway Im here now, I will go through everything I have missed tomorrow and post replys but for now I have some big news. World of Cross Stitching arewant to publish my story. They loved it and want some photos of me with the Angel to go with it - Im scared as didnt really want people to see me so Im not sure about it, Im not sure that Im brave enough, its one thing for me to be a name in a magazine but for people to see me and read what I have been through it seems huge. I would have to put make up on especially or I would look minging. What if someone I know sees it. Im sure I will go ahead and do it anyway as I really need the years subscription as my 5 months for a fiver has ran out.

As for sewing I havent got much done for the last 5 days, my quilt square is half done and I have done the butterflies on the treble clef but still not attempted the backstitch. Before that I stitced the patchwork heart and everyone brings joy (did these in 3 days non stop stitching) for my mums birthday using left over threads donated from on here. I will post pictures up tomorrow.

Anyway I will post tommorrow, sorry for being crap with keeping the challenge going, I will get better I promise.

Hi Bubbles a BIG WELL DONE I and I am sure others share this feeling when I say I am realy proud of you. Just think by having this published how many people you are inspiring and helping hun, what does it matter if someone you know sees you bet they have not done something as inspiring as you so gthat makes you the much better person in my book. Let it be printed and get your face in the mag and hold your head up high and feel proud of what you have done. :T
