Wow Louise...wonderful, you are sooo fast!

I hope/plan on getting some sewing done this afternoon when I get back from being a student (at my work). Think I deserve it...been manic all week, and it's only Wednesday!

I really must sit down and get my Christmas projects sorted...after all there are only 108 days to go :eek::eek::eek:

And on that note she skulks off quietly, trying not to panic......:o

Hi ladies, sorry I havent been in the cafe for a while - but do you mind if I pull up a chair - I have started a large (for me anyway!!) cross stitch on black (aargh) aida and feel I might need some encouragement when the going gets tough!! - Which it already has as stitching with 3 strands instead of 2 and mixing colours- omg - I wish I'd seen the instructions before I bought it - lol. I will hopefully get a picture of what I am doing soon.

Ooh yes - I've done a few of these.

If you can, have a strong light coming from over your shoulder and put a white towel/teatowel on your lap - makes the holes show up slightly better. Not much, but slightly

mags_cat - hi and thank you for that sort of got the light but the white towel seems a good idea will give it a bash tonight.

Hope you're all ok xx

Hi ladies.

Louise. Love the Meercats!

I seemed to get quite a lot of stitching done today. A whole sunflower! Doesn't sound much but they are quite fiddly, lots of fractional stitches.
Also this evening I have spent what seems like hours looking at pictures of Blue Tits on google and deciding how I am going to modify the ones on the design. I have decided how to change the chart and made notes of the colours but will probably change my mind by tomorrow :rotfl:


On another note.....I suddenly got a dodgy tummy a short while ago Not sure if it's something I ate for tea or nerves getting to me already about starting the new job next week.
I am scared of doing myself a mischief (being overweight I have back, knee and hip problems) and having to leave the job. I really want this to work and bring some money in again.

Hello!
Hope everyone's well! Been sooooo busy lately haven't had chance to do much stitching! We currently have no inner walls, floor, toilet, bath or sink! I have also done exactly what I didn't want to do and that's start a new cross stitch before finishing my UFO's grrrrr!

My mom has decided that she wants this for christmas now

which is nothing like the poppies that she originally wanted or the wild flowers that she then changed her mind to!

It's nothing like I have ever done before - so far I haven't had to do one half stitch which I am quite pleased about! Bit worried about the detail around the edge but I haven't got that far yet so will worry about that at a later date!

Love the meerkat cross stitch it's ace! Can't believe that Christmas is only 15 weeks away! Just hope I can get it done in time!!
