Cross Stitch Cafe 2012

Evening Ladies
Well the results of my 24 hour ECG are back (some of you may remember I was strapped to it on 23rd December) and at one point my heartrate was 153 beats per minute :eek: (normal range is up to 100 beats per minute).
So I am booked in to see a Cardiologyst, lets hope he has the answer as to what is causing it.

Stitching wise, not got that much done lately. Haven't felt up to it to be honest.
Could do with a virtual butt kick please, my dad arrives in 5 days and I have to finish and frame on the beach so he can take it home with him, but a nap on the settee sounds sooo tempting!

Loving all the piccies ladies, especially the cat card (sorry not sure who's that was?!).

Oh and Louise what is your secret to speed stitching? And how can I achieve it .

AM x

Ps - I have been very naughty and am banned from Ebay by DH as I bought "Dictionary of Tea". Haven't even started "Dictionary of bra's" yet... but "dictionary of tea" will look so good in my kitchen lol.

Hey Ladies,
Well I spent an unsuccessful day looking for the CHART ONLY of Passion of the Dance, no where stocks it only kits, and as I have most of the bits and pieces I would really prefer not to buy a kit. So I was browsing the WOXS website and it appears that Febs issue has a ballerina chart - yayeeeeee. So I was able to order the 5 issues for £5 and hopefully the ballerina is what I am looking for, if not I will bite the bullet and buy the Passion kit, but either way I have 5 issues full of real charts coming my way!!!!!
So today ended up a good day, just wish I could feel a bit better and actually be able to stitch!!!

Hi queenB, would love to see a piccy, I like the idea of a pagan fairy . Also love your Johny Cash quote, love him.

Sorry your search was fruitless Benny, fingers crossed it'll come your way. I've quite a lot of mags from a charity shop, I don't recall a nice ballerina but I'll take a look tomorrow.

Augustmummy, gosh that's high! I hope they get u sorted out soon. My OH has a heart / blood pressure / sensor issue that was so very scary and worrying before it was diagnosed. Got my fingers crossed for you x

Anyone got/seen a good toy story cross stitch pattern anywhere for Bo-peep or Rex or aliens? Have had a dweeb around the net but have only found a tiny alien on a french site. Am looking to stitch one for a lovequilts square for a boy who loves toy story.

Hi Everyone,

Just finished stitching this Margaret Sherry design which I'm going to make into a card for my sister-in-law.

I know a Toy Story alien one exists, as I have it somewhere. I have no idea where it is, though. I tried looking for it a while ago as its half stitched & I wanted to finish it for DH. Do you need it urgently?

Hope you get some answers!!

My secret is no secret....two handed stitching (via using a lap frame) and a fabric marker pen are all the requirements you need :j

Glad you have a solution

I have back issues of WOXS if you don't get the one you need or I could send you the chart for Passion of Dance.

I had similar problems when trying to find a chart for Candlelight - it didn't exist so I had to buy the kit. So annoying when you have a ton of threads sitting in the house already.
