Cross Stitch Cafe 2011 ..... part 2

pm2326

Hi guys...another oldie here..been keeping upto date with the thread but haven't had anything interesting to say! Some lovely work been completed recently xx

I wanted to ask you all something ...have any of you done xstitching for charity and sold the items on ebay?

I watched something on the news about the rhino's the other day and i was in floods of tears, the story was about the increase in poaching and the pictures were very graffic ...but this got me thinking, i have loads of cover kits that I simply wont get round to stitching unless I have someone to give them too which is very seldom but i could make them up and sell them on ebay and give the proceeds to save the rhino...obviously wont be a lot but i suppose every little helps.

what's your thoughts ladies?

Can I join you all here please:D

My freind introduced me to cross stitch about 10 years ago and it has been a hobby of mine since. I do go through stages of not picking up my needle for a few weeks sometimes but it sits on my table by my sofa always ready when i do get the urge.

My latest project is the Purity Pagan Fairy (DMC). A friend of mine had got it as she wanted to give cross stitch a go but was put off when she saw what it entailed so i am doing it for her. It is full of shades of purple and grey and uses alot of the speciality threads which can be a bit frustrationg at times but i am almost half way through and it is beautiful.

I will try and get a photo up soon.

I don't know many people (if any now) who actually cross stitch so it is usually just me stitching away on my lonesome:( being able to chat with some fellow stitchers whould be great and motivating.

Keep the piccies coming, they are so inspiring and give me the kick up the bum to get my stitching done.
PS. Nearly finished Autumn Reflections - hoping to have it done by next weekend.
Happy stitching everyone.
