Cross Stitch Cafe 2011 ..... part 2

Shelly - dont apologise, confusion is good... it meant i properlly looked at this new stand... and found 2 photos on google... so i now know i can use it as a table stand, but with the neck bent the other way i can also use it as a floor stand! :j

in the interest of trying it out, i sort of accidentally started a stone henge kit that was in my stash. it's 16ct so is a new challenge for me. and i can pick it up and put it down, where as it's going to take me a block of time i dont think i have to sort the theads and fabric for the 11 Doctors.

stay warm everyone. i'm off to the woods this mornign for more fire wood, and have got regular Drs appointment this afternoon, and an old friend comeing to stay for the first time sunday night so have a lot of sorting out to do. eek!

autumn reflections looks beautiful

everyones been so chatty ive had a job to catch up but you all certainly seem happy in your stitching.
havent had a chance to stitch for a few days been blitzing the lounge and trying to get my various stashes in some kind of order cant say ive really noticed any improvement. but im treating myslef to a gulit free knitting and stitching weekend afterall most of what im trying to do is presents for people so its a money saving and clutterbusting exercise now

Blimey, I thought it was a bargain before but now you can use it 2 ways it's even more so!
Hmmmm might see if I can do the same with mine, actually I'll let hubby do it because I'm so clumsy I'll most likely break it's neck :rotfl:

Didn't stitch yesterday as a bit headachey. Not sure I'll get any done today either as I have an appt in town soon then dropping in on parents.

'Accidentally'? Loving it...:T

We need to start a '101 excuses to stitch' list:rotfl:

'It was an accident'

'I worked hard all day and that is my reward'

'It was looking at me funny so I had to pick it up and stitch'

'Umm......the day ends in a Y'

*Louise*

Speaking fo stitching...I was on a roll yesterday :j:j

I had a WHOLE EVENING with nowt to do but stitch, it was bliss
and I got loads done

Day 12



Day 14



No stitching at all this weekend, I'm off on a training course and will be knackered by Sunday evening.:eek:

another excuse for the list

'i saw a moth near my stash so i had to stitch quickly in case it tried to eat it'

tellmeitsfriday

My excuse - "I paid for the sofa, so if I want to stitch while sat on it, I will"

chickywiggle

- it was stitch or murder the kids/ husband/ cat/ dog?

The_Dragon

Excuses .... hmmm .... "But didn't you say that X just loves Y?, so actually it is your fault" :j

maria_and_the_imps
