Cross Stitch Cafe 2011 ..... part 2

Flat_Eric

I have a 60th birthday card to finish..... just the number 6 to do and the back stitch oh and the happy birthday greeting. its this one here

but I don't feel in the mood to do that today and have a day to spend as I please. Can't make up my mind what I fancy stitching ? Don't fancy the housework at the moment and undecided about visiting the shops. Also have my book to read - a faint cold fear by Karin Slaughter then theres the cricket on so decisions decisions....

Sneaks in and says HELLO!

Sorry I have not been on much, been busy with work and have started night school - doing and HN Unit in Depilation (waxing) :eek:. My friend wanted to do it but didn't want to go alone. Had fun at work this week as we had some very strong winds and I am based just now in a second storey portakabin - everything kept shaking. NOw I know what is like to be in an earthquake zone lol.

I I decided to dig out my Halloween Meg & Mog and get that finished so I can display it throughout October.
And I finished it yesterday! The owl & cats eyes are stitched in glow-in-the-dark threads (as are the buckles on Meg's sh

Having real problems posting on MSE lately. Every time I open the forum page on my PC, it freezes & causes my computer to crash! Anyone else had this???

I remember them when I was a kid - we had a cat named Mog after the cat in this book.

Well I have done some stitching - not much but some. Been in shed trying to save some stuff - t hink I have lost most of my photgraphs if not all - I have tried drying them out but they dont look right - I am so angry with the lad upstairs destroying my roof. To top it all off I am noticing awee bit of damp in the bedroom wall - I don't know what to do. Hubby does have another interview this week. The last one he went to they said he was very good but not at this time - grrrrrrrr.

Any way keep well all - nice to see all your progresses and how you are getting on in your part of the world. Kind wishes

righty I think I have got all the newbies.... yell if i haven't....

Can I have a number please. I love cross stitch though I don't do as much as I used to because I also love patchwork and quilting, general sewing and other crafts and like most "crafty" people I know just don't have enough hours in the day or days in the week to do everything I want to do. Thank you

Bought some Mouseloft designs to make into coasters for Christmas. I 'could' have blown the designs up and copied them myself but I would have felt bad lol Plus, Acrosstown sells them for £1.70 each instead of the £2+ other places do.;)

I got Xmas Party Mouse, Xmas Post Mouse, Santa's Washing (v. cute!) and Xmas Eve Owl. Meant to get Greedy Robin as well but I forgot to click it lol - oops

P.s. - 99 sleeps till Christmas!! :santa2:

Hello:j. I'm just the same!

Been out with old uni friend today, she came down on the train... Happily I live near her sister and we all like sewing:) we went to the patchwork shops 40min away. Too far to go often with price of fuel so was a special treat. I got some lovely fabric for a couple of projects, and so did they.
