And a card for my cousin whose birthday it is this month - hence flower for September. Don't worry I will point this out to her to show her how clever I am

This is nice too if you can.

This is the aida from the free fox kit that came with cross stitcher recently. I don't think its meant to be wonky :rotfl: certainly the finished design doesn't show the aida as wonky.

I am quite :mad: actually. Got new issue of cross stitcher yesterday and not that impressed with it. The last few kits have not been up to much (when you compare the lovely kit we got from WOXS this month) and whats with the poor quality materials being used ?

This is one of the reasons why I gave up on cross stitcher - felt really disappointed after being a member since issue 1. Phoned them up to cancel and they asked why - said I wasn't happy with the quality or the content of their mag anymore. I still have cross stitch collection on the go.

Only on for a wee while got a wash going - mostly my uniform as I start my new posting tomorrow - yeah! Will have to do a bit more training but be in a portocabin until the office is built tho.

Will post an update picture later of my little boy blue. Thank you all for your kind wishes about my hand fasting - mum says she is going to look out the one she has of our hands handfasted - wish my brother would learn more about computer as he could scan and email it to me instead of me going down there and doing it - tho I am looking through their photo boxes for anymore to scan - one of my grandparents wedding, baby photos, old school photos, etc.

Kind wishes to all - keep well - happy stitching

Hi everyone!
I've been meaning to post this pic all week, but kept forgetting to dig out the SD card it was hiding on.

That is lovely - any chance of a as my dh would love it too - he is a dungeons and dragons fan so it would suit him down to the ground - and if it only took you two days he might stand a chance of actually getting it for his birthday next year!

Hi new people!:j

Our free view transmitter has had a fit.. We've lost Dave and E4+1 but 5* and 5USA have appeared... So as OH is our at formula 3, I'm pretending it's still raining and having an afternoon with my stitching and USA crime drama:D. AND I'm onto the backstitch on the cupcake

HAPPY SUNDAY everyone!

Have you tried rescanning? I had to rescan & update my grandmas freeview box every time I visited to keep it up to date. Will probably have to do it for mum now that she's inherited it.

Hi everyone ,

I used to post on the last cross stitch cafe thread under my husband's user name (Apocasaver), but I haven't been on here in months, so thought I'd re start with my own user name. I did the bothy threads Noah's Ark and rocket cut thru's if anyone can remember!!

I can't believe how popular the thread has become in the months I haven't been posting, so many new members!

I lost my stash in the house move back in April (at least I didn't have too big a stash though), and having no money I haven't been able to get on with much. I started the African animal scene that I had for a birthday present, but I didn't find it too interesting and lost all enthusiasm, so I haven't picked up a needle since May.

Then I started reading through this thread again yesterday and it's given me the cross-stitch bug all over again :j

I can't wait to start stitching again now
