hope not Maria.... I still have stitcy cravings.... just can't seem to 'get anywhere fast' on my projects which is depressing me..... i think i need to do a motif type one that i can see taking shape but simply cannot start another project.

Devils advocate here... Dont get down over your current projects. Why not start a small motif? Perhaps a Christmas one for a card? Or a cover kit? You'll be stitching and productive and happy!

I've finished the cupcake! My longest ever UFO is a UFO no longer!:) (bought the mag to get the charts/kit early spring 2010, back when I took up xstitch, finally began Jan or feb 2011, now finished sept 6th 2011:j

3hrs


9hrs


I also looked at what projects I have and what I would like to do. Basically I have decided to complete everything I have now (ie kits/homemade kits) before buying new supplies to complete mag designs. So I have one UFO (Gorjuss) and 8 other kits. So once I complete this I will move onto those. The gifts I want to do will roll over to next year now

Have a good hump day tomorrow all :T

:j Yay for sewandso and royal mail. I ordered the frame and hh at about 10am yesterday and it's just arrived!
I know sewandso are good but I didn't really expect to receive the parcel until tomorrow at the earliest.

Now I'm off for a quick late lunch (time flies when playing games online ) move the Tiger from one frame to the other and get to grips with stitching with my frame attached to the stand the other way round.
I'm sure the air will be blue a few times but I really must persevere!
