Sweetcarer, you shouldn't go anywhere! Nobody's done anything wrong in here, we're all just very free with the smilie. I tag one onto every text I send

Have sent you a PM. Please don't go anywhere!

Thank you one and all for your kind messages - they made my day and made me feel wanted - that I mean something to someone - daft mare me.

Anyway I always have my nervous twitch at the end of my name so it must be an infection I have.

Here is the final part of my pin cushion. Sew it up last night and filled it with excess threads (the bits you snip off for bin - I keep them in a container for things like this) and some dried lavender. Will get it hopefully in post tomorrow for my friend.




Keep well girls, going to plan out the wording for the wedding stitch.

Kind wishes to all

Sweetcarer. That pin cushion is toooo cute!

Chicky. Nice progress, can't wait to see Princess Palace finished, I love the detail on the cut thrus.


Made Dad chuckle tonight by saying I was going to take him a small cross stitch kit to while away the hours, he said not to bother

Hi all,
It's been ages since I've posted. I've been quite busy 2 recently with work which is good and did a bit of cross stitching but my camera's broken so can't post pics. I've been home to Ireland to visit my new nephew who is very very cute and making me feel very broody.


No sewing in the last 2 weeks, because I slipped as I was going down the stairs and have fractured my coccyx's so sitting for long periods is very uncomfortable.

I'm nearly finished a a winnie the pooh cross stitch for my friend's son and soon to be my Godson, which I will post once I get my camera fixed.

Hope everyone is OK, happy stitching

And the other I shouldn't really be doing yet but I started a couple of hours ago cos I fell in love with it, is the 'Lion King' from this month's WOXS:

I can't wait to see the progress on this one I might do the 5 issues of WOXS for £5 and start it with this issue.

I managed to win my 18ct Cream aida fabric 1m x 43" for only £6.50, so thats my Atlantis fabric sorted with some spare for cards :j

Wow everyone has done so much stitching . Some fab progress been made by everyone . Me i've been too lazy i have only done about 6 stitches in the last few weeks . We have been busy cleaning and decorating though and shopping for a new car. Hopefully i'll start again soon.
Chicky hope everythings going well and baby makes an appearance soon.
Sweetcarer hope you don't go anywhere anyway who says a twitch is a bad thing lol.
