I think I am suffering from fabric/thread/wool/yarn/paper aquisition disorder...otherwise known as Complete Crafting Madness.

I'm definitely with you on the CCM Keiss21! ....Unfortunately that also involves very elaborate cupcakes now too. How amazed was I the day I learned that you can get edible glitter and glue!!!

Ruth i've falled out with my Wii fit. Not only did it tell me I'd put on nearly a stone (it was about a year since I last used it) but it made my Wii fat too!!!!! Can't do much excercise due to illness so I don't see it getting much nicer to me anytime soon

Ohhh, Polstitches. Must look them up now - I like the sound of a Fabric Grab Bag Mrs MK!

Polstitches was such a bad idea!!!!!

So much I want to do, even diversify into embroidery. How cute is this!?!

Aww it's lovely!

Polstitches is fab. I am doing a 15 sided biscornu thing I bought from there (it's my work drawer project)

TMIF - The biscornu is lovely. Still not entirely sure what you do with one oncew it's done though!!!!

Admire it I suppose.

Use it as a ring cushion if you're getting married maybe (not planned for me though). I just saw it and wanted it. (Story of my life lol)

It depends on the width of the bolt of fabric but most fat quarters of cross stitch material are 50cmx70cm (well the ones I've bought are anyway) so they may be a titchy bit short for your project.

Just for the record - I'm 30 with PCOS, TTC for quite a few years, had all the drugs which didn't work and due to complications with OH's swimmers (don't tell him I told you !) were told our only chance of a child was with IVF/ICSI - and a very slim chance at that! At that point I thought there must be more to life than Drs, hospitals, drugs, thermometers and charts and we called time on the whole TTC. I found the whole thing difficult as I am a complete control freak (think Monica Geller ) and it was the one thing in my life I had no contol over. So I empathise with all you guys out there in a similar situation. Its taken quite a long time but I think I am as Ok now as I am ever going to be about not having kids. I still have the odd wibble and cry every now and then but have learned that just because I can't have children does not make me a failure.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you for your kind words. I didn't mean to get so upset about it all. I am just feeling so stressed these days - took me 2 hours to get home last night. I am hoping my new posting comes in soon. I am missing my old establishment was in today getting my expenses. I know my job is changing. I am also concerned for hubby he still doesn't have a job and he is still not coming to bed at night time.

On stitching news not done any for a few days been so exhusted after my drive. Hope to look out kiss this weekend (put it in a safe place, where I don't remember) and get it started.

I am sweetcarer, signing out from sunny Scotland (with side drizzle).

I am up bright and early today and planning a relaxing day in front of the tv with my cross stitch. Mr Postie should also be delivering my sewandso parcel :j(I will be running down the road after him giving him what for if he doesn't have it...)

I had a busy day yesterday - met a friend for a spot of shopping then a hair cut so not much time for stitching. will make up for it today though.:D

happy weekend all. hope you all have lots of stitching planned. hugs to all who need them :grouphug:

Can I ask a serious question??? How are any us finding time for any 'bedroom activities' when we're so busy stitching??? Surely that's the best contraception around for us! ......

I do both at once, I thought everyone did !!!!
