lancs-lady - Good luck with that project, I look forward to seeing how it progresses, it's really pretty

aneres - ah, the hazards of clicking links on this thread!!:rotfl:

flowerofscotland - well done on getting motivated and getting some more of the Noah's Ark done :T

Perfect P - Stunning - I just LOVE the shades on that :T

nmm - I knew it was one of the regulars, I remembered the design becasue it's so strking. Have you thought about a lap frame? I used to gt a clicky wrist and carpal tunnel, using the frame and being able to use both hands has done woders for me.

Lanc-Lady and Aneras - love both of these designs. I want the Rainbow tree from this seller but a little concerned that the auctions are private. I would be extremely grateful if you could post when you receive the kits, both the quality and the speed of receipt. Thanks in advance.

Sadaz - what sort of thing are you after. I did a bookmark for my son and a picture for my nephews. I made the patterns up myself for these but think I still have them if you'd like to have a look. I also have quite a few religious charts. I will have a look for them and post a list so you can have a look and if there's anything you are interested in you can let me know. Happy to if you are interested in any.

Likely to be tomorrow eveing before I can list the charts.

Chicky - I tried to find my copy of the Stitch therefore I stash but I can't find it at the moment.

Louise, the fairy is amazing. So fast at stitching it too. Hope your candle light doesn't take too long.

Stayed up late last night as really got into stitching the free kit that came with Cross Stitch Card Shop. As I was packing up for bed, noticed that the stitch factbox said it takes 2-4 hours. huh ?

I did 4 odd hours just last night ? and thats on top of stitching during my lunchbreaks and on my commute to work this week.

Just the backstitch to do now and it will be finished :j

Will try to get on later to post a picture :T

hi everyone, have just spent a few hours reading the thread. have read about a quarter of it I think. I am going to read it all.

I wondered if I can join in. I usually make cards and am a silhouette cameo addict but wanted a hobby I can take with me when I'm away that doesn't weigh the earth. I did try knitting but as I use both hands to write it was a disaster. sometimes I'd lead with right hand sometimes left.

anyhow I digress , I went to buy some craft books on the Market (hate paying full price) and picked up cross stitch mag by mistake. well thought I'd give it a go and here I am.

so please bear with as I waffle on. nervous you see . and wish me luck as I stitch the free xstitch. bear in mind me and needles don't get on. it once took me 9 attempts to sew a button on. and I'm on my 2nd sewing machine as couldn't get on with first, mind you 2nd onces proving a problem too x
