Cross Stitch Cafe 2012

Cosmopolitan

I'm hoping all you knowledgable people out there can help me.
I've got a few projects in mind of the future but as me and OH are hopefully buying a house soon (got second viewing on Saturday) I thought a "home sweet home" piece might be nice.

I'm sure I saw a pattern for one I liked a while ago but can't seem to track it down now - hoping someone here knows what I'm on about.

Basically what I'm after is a home sweet home design but with the lettering in the style of Emily Peacocks Love and Hungs cushions if you know what I mean.

I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before but I can't for the life of me find it now.

Is anyone thinking of going to the Stitch and Craft Show in London?

http://www.twistedthread.com/pages/exhibitions/viewExhibition.aspx?id=37

I'd like to go, and it would be nice to meet some other crazies

I went last year and it was great! Haven't decided about this year as I've already been to the stitchy show at Bluewater and they're all pretty similar.

I guess it depends how far I get stitching through all the things I bought last time and on my budget :eek:

If I do decide to go, I'll let you know

Didn't stitch very much last night, had the worst headache
Here's hoping it doesn't make an apperance tonight and I get make some progress.

Hope everyone else is well xx

Welcome to the cafe Kitty and Cosmopolitan.

Kitty - your chick looks a little cutey.

Flat Eric - love your home is ......

Pap - can't wait to see how you get along with your blue pic. Bet the different shades of blue look really effective. Wonder if blue will be a favourite colour when you finish. Still looking forward to seeing London.

Thanks for comments on Tulips ladies. Showed a pic of it to my friend yesterday and she decided that it would look better on her kitchen wall than mine :eek: Told her she could have it for her Easter pressie and she said she couldn't possibly take it from me so I had a look on tinternet to see if I could pick up a reasonably priced kit - simple answer - no I couldn't - didn't realise when I bought mine what a bargain it was. On the other hand I have got the chart, some leftover threads - that may be the way to go.:think: Still waiting for mine to be hung - hubby going to put different hooks in back of frame. It was him who framed it btw - credit where credits due.

Keep stitching everyone and look forward to seeing more piccies.
