Cross Stitch Cafe 2011 ..... part 2

tellmeitsfriday

When I saw Phantom, I paid £12 on the day for a seat right at the top (middle) in front of the lighting box. The upper circle is alright, if you don't mind being high up

Well I've bitten the bullet and bought a ticket.

My OH has said he will get me it for xmas which is fab and he is also buying me the phantom dvd albert hall thing that comes out in a couple of weeks :j I will be all phantomed out come the show !

I couldn't make up my mind so just decided to go for it because I know come next year when my town goes Phantom mad that I will be sad if I hadn't got a ticket and it was all sold out.

Hi all.
Louise, sorry to hear about your parents. I really hope all their treatment goes well. Hugs to you.
Thought I'd give you a piccie of my latest work in progress.



Not a lot of stitching going on at the moment:(, so much for half term, been so busy running the kids around everywhere, I've had no time to do anything, back to work Monday so even less time then:(
Got a baby blanket to knit as well - SIL expecting in March:T, so that and making christmas cards take priority at the moment.
Will also have lots of framing to do next week - just ordered severn frames from frame express, just over £100 in total:eek::eek:. They were really helpful, I'd done an order back in May, but managed to delete the details of it and I needed to order a couple of identical frames this time. I rang then and explained and they e-mailed me my previous order details immediately:j

That's all for now, looking forward to all your updates.

Feel as though I have been neglecting you all. Fab piccies everyone, love the sparkley snowman you must have amazing patience, I can't manage more than a few stitches in metallic threads before losing my temper policy
Has anyone seen these new threads that are out?

Finished mums Christmas present a table cloth will post piccies when I get the pc out and have started a stocking, got loads I need to get done before Xmas. Hope you are ok Louise. You are in my thoughts.

Catchooky your 'think green' frog is so cute. Well done.
Flat Eric you definately did the right thing getting the tickets. I haven't seen Phantom but my niece did a few years ago now and I remember her saying it was amazing.
Jude that's a lovely scene. Looks so peaceful.
Augustsmummy I felt the same with the flowers kit. I was relieved once I'd finished it, but ended up not really enjoying doing it.
maria looking forward to seeing the tablecloth.
Louise hope all goes/went well at the party.

Have finished another Christmas one and started on another. Will pop a pic on when I've finished this one then I can put them both on.

Yeah that's them chicky might just order 1 to see what they are like. Thanks for the links couldn't do it on my phone lol x

Morning ladies!

Catchooky. Love the frog, very cute!
If you find out the mag with the black cat in I'd appreciate it if you could let me know please as I might get it myself. We had a black cat who died in 08 and depending on the pic it would be nice to do a xstitch to remind us of her.
If you are going to stitch it for your mans parents I'd either do so while they still have the cat or if it does pass away then I'd wait awhile.


Judellie. Your wip is lovely, a very relaxing scene.

AFM. Haven't done much stitching in the week but got some done yesterday while F1 quali was on and I hope to do more while the race is on later.
We went out to the dogs on Fri nite with friends. I had got some tickets that gave us entry and meal for £1 so it would have been rude not to go
