Hi Mags-cat and Aislb - you have mail - hopefully

Thanks for your comments judellie - I have managed to cancel and had already signed up for 5 for £5 XStitch Crazy. Didn't dare get any more as there are not enough stitchy hours in the day as it is :rotfl::rotfl:

Make the most of your stitchy time chicky - you certainly deserve some :T

Hi all!
I have been keeping up with the thread, I just haven't been posting!
Everyone's work is looking great!
And a big welcome to all the newbies to the cafe

I've put down the Corrie kit for a while, whilst I do the West Yorkshire map, as it's going to be a Christmas pressie for my Uncle.

Started working on it on 26th September, and I think I have done about 9 hours worth so far, BUT it doesn't look like much lol because it's on evenweave, and it's the first time I have ever used evenweave and it's taking a bit of getting used to!

Anyways here's a pic, a little boring though! I have done a little more since this pic was taken, not much though, just the darker thread at the bottom and some backstitched mountain/hill signs at the top.

i really need to start the Dr Who tardis + Matt Smith or my friend wont get it at the end of the month.

Can I ask where you got those from please? I am a HUGE Who fan, as is my son, and would love to add them to my 'to do' list!
Thanks!

Hi Ladies sorry i haven't been around i've been really poorly for the last month. Anyway i've just read up on all i've missed and i can't remember who did what but some really fab work has been done by everyone.

Chicky how you didn't kill the outlaws i'll never know . If i was treated so badly by them they'd never see me again just ask my oh's sister's and brother rofl.

Received - thanks a lot. Need to get stitching now.

Graftygranny - just read your comments. Hope you are feeling better now, so sorry to hear that you've been poorly.

good to see you back craftygranny hope all is getting better now.

thanks for all the nice comments **blushes** always feel guilty people comment on my stuff and by the time I get round to having 2 free hands to post (i can read one handed while feeding, changing, playing etc but typing is a but more tricky) I have forgotten what happened.

OHHHH Soulie now I want to start one of my map ones ..... I have more UFO's now then when we started the cafe years ago!!! I am progressing with Troutbeck (did I ever send it to you Nykied?) but am not sure on it. It doesn't have any backstitch (YAYAYAY) but it is very 'blocky' IYSWIM but not in a nice way. I will post a pic later (now I have my phone back YAYAY) and see what you think. Didn't manage quite as much as I wanted last night as updated my finance spreadsheet and it told me I had £6 to last until hubbys pay day....... turned out I hadn't changed the dates when I copied it from the old one (hubby, tax credits and Child benefit are all 4 weekly paid not monthly) so WOO much better got £100 instead. We CAN eat!!


Must update sig!

Have added DizzyLizzie (tho just realised a spelling mistake)

no. 87 - dizzylizzy

LOL toddlerwiggle had been scoffing the yummy box of Fox's bisquits my daddy brought us.... I told him he couldn't have any more so now he is "just looking at them" and describing them to me!!! Guilt anyone?? Apparently now he is "just testing them" as I caught him with one in his hand!!!

ohhh and good luck for the 21st bikerchick.... hope alll continues to make progress.
