I've just bought this from ebay, and I'm not even sure why. I think its because the colours sort of match our bedroom. Fingers crossed I like it when it arrives:o

I love this! The colours are so pretty and it's got a butterfly on it Hope you like it when it gets to you!

Can you recommend some usa shops that you use please? :T

I have used 123 stitch before, I have also used abcstitch.


as debtdalek says there is vat on top of that. It all depends on how much the £ is against the $ to how much you can get within the customs and VAT limits.

I have mainly purcahsed threads before from the usa. Most of the time they have put "gift " on the customs form. This was about 5 years ago when the pound was strong against the dollar. I hasve ordered any from the USA since.

He is my progress from last week. I have been working on two 5" x 7"

cant believe someone has put all this work in and going to end up with pennies for it.

Have you seen the price of this one :eek::eek::eek: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/African-Sunset-Finished-completed-Cross-Stitch-/330698768170?pt=UK_Crafts_CrossStitch_RL&hash=item4cff2ebf2a


It maybe wishful thinking

cat woman, great update's I too love the colours of the lady. Can't wait to see it finished.

Now this maybe a stupid opinion but why stitch something you are going to sell? I know its relaxing to stitch things and some people just love to stitch etc etc. But I would never stitch something I didn't like or something I didn't have a home for. To me its a waste of time, I would rather stitch something I liked and see it on a wall or as a gift. I also doubt that you could sell a finished cross stitch piece for that much, otherwise everyone would be doing it. I know that people do commisions but thats totally different as its a 'pre order'.

I just find it really strange, card making etc is different, but to me cross stitch (prob because its so time consuming for me) just isn't something I would think about selling.

I love that. I'm a massive fan of anything Titantic so can feel a search coming on :rotfl:

She does have 8 watchers so hopefully it will reach a nice price for her. She's also selling a Pirates of the Carribbean one. My daughter is a huge fan and keeps asking me to stitch one for her. I might buy that and pass it off as my own! :rotfl:

Yikes! I think you might be right about the wishful thinking lol.

She's selling others with high price tag too including a HAED.
