Cross Stitch Cafe 2011

postingalwaysposting

nmm, lovely tigers, you can really see it taking shape now. Hopefully not long now
Eric, love the easter bunny, very tide on the back too Wish I were that tidy :rotfl:

So more wedding gift done and its coming along really well :T Just to claify my timings - a day is equal to 8ish hours (ie my days off but no evenings) and an evening is about 3-4hours.

3 days work -


4 days, 2 nights work -


If I keep this speed up I may get it completed early. I am debating if I want to stitch any words on the finished piece but I think I am going to finish the piece first and then get opinions

Have a great week all and I hope baby comes soon chicky

Progress week ending 10th April:

I was able to do one of my favourite things this week; sewing outside. So most of Mr Snow was completed out in the warm sunshine.

I do have an update on the rose to show you at some point.

WIll you have internet access to do a blog or post some photos while you are travelling Mags? I bet you're so excited! Have you sorted your itinerary yet? x

Oh. it's been planned for the last 12 months - it's taken me that long to save up! :eek:

I'm going on my own, but with an organised group tour - so there will be lots to do but none of it's compulsory. I'm going all the way from home in Birmingham to Vladivostok by train. I have visas for Belarus, Mongolia and Russia. I have Euros, Zlotys, Roubles and Dollars. I have an emergency credit card, just in case

I also have unspeakable levels of excitement :rotfl:

Internet access is going to be very limited - probably fine in the hotels in Warsaw, Moscow and Vladivostok - but distinctly limited anywhere else. Pictures will probably have to wait 'til I get home and will be on my Flickr page.

Kez, you're a star :T

I'll sort it out on Flickr - it'll send you a Flickrmail automatically. If you want to "demote" yourself when I get back, that's fine

Buy yourself a special travel notebook, or take your laptop then, and make loads of notes I would love to do something like that!

Don't have a laptop, but yep - I have a travel journal and some absolutely humungous memory cards for the various cameras

I'm 40 two days before I go away - this is my mid-life crisis and I thought I might as well make a it big one :rotfl:

ohhhh on a baby note (sorry)..... have we seen Caroline?? (off to stalk her profile) ETA: she was quietly lurking yesterday.

I'm still here...not doing much stitching as can't seem to settle to do any. I am constantly thinking of things that need cleaning...lol

Last Wednesday night I had contractions which were every 15 minutes and went right down to every 5 minutes. My Mum phoned the hospital and they told me to get a bath, which I did and the contractions stopped and haven't came back again.

Keep getting tightenings across my tummy and squirming down low, but as this is my first I am not sure what this means...lol

Heading out for a dander round town tomorrow so maybe this will make baby shift..xx

Oooo Caroline, how exciting A new Cafe member!!!

S/he's a little bit early yet?

Someone who's had a baby will be along to tell you what all this painful stuff means - very best of luck xxx
