Cross Stitch Cafe 2012

Just an idea here, so please don't all jump down my throat. I know I'm still a newbie.

Anyway what I was thinking is, would it be possible to have a couple of new posts within the cafe, maybe like stickies or something where everyone can showcase their work in progress or completed projects, thus cutting down on the amount of posts? Say another sticky for questions to be asked, and then just keep this one for general chitchat??

Like I said just a suggestion, IO don't know if its even feasible.

I'm not if this is going to work, but here is my latest WIP - Winter Angel. Here's the link to how its meant to look

he only difference is I'm using cream Aida rather than the blue evenweave.

This is where I'm up to. (Excuse the fact it needs ironing)

Thank you

Yes theres 4 in total, I've done the Spring Angel. Its on my Photobucket page http://s1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa430/lancs-lady/?action=view&current=001-1.jpg but I've just noticed I've not put a completed picture on there, so I will do that later. It just needs framing, but I want to complete all 4 pictures so that all the frames match if that makes sense!

I've got the Autumn Angel to stitch, so I just need the Summer Angel one now. I'm doing the Chinese version, which has the coloured charts, but I can't seem to find the Summer Angel version so I may have to buy the Chart from L&L and do it that way

Hello guys how is everyone?

I am just popping on to report that I have been rubbish recently and done no stitching. Loss of stitching bug maybe???!! I hope not! I really just haven't had time recently, and I think once it starts getting a bit warmer (hopefully) I will be able to sit outside and do some. It is too dark in the house and I need a light on....thats my excuse anyway!

However, I have had a bit of a sort out of my stuff and at least now I an see what I have got so might start off with the tiniest thing I can find so that I feel I've achieved something, and then re start my big map. I have a bit of holiday soon so hopefully I can do some then.

Liking all the pics that have been posted recently x
