August mummy - crafty fix was a kit from cross stitcher, so prob the same as you've got.

Subtle - hello! Welcome to the cafe. Chicky will be along soon enough to give u a member number. I'm also nosey to which craft / stitches you've tried before. I'm also v interested on sewing as therapy, as I dragged myself out of depression with it... And still have to on repeat!

Louise - Circ is beautiful! Thank you for posting the fairy tale ladies... Not really something I'd have thought about but I LOVE Rapunzel!

Maria - love it so far

Lovely work Louise and maria, well done! :T

Been back from my hols in (lovely sunny) Scotland for just over a week now and slowly catching up with everything, been so busy since my return.

Despite beig organized and sorting out threads etc for a couple of small X-S projects to take north with me...I left them at home by mistake!! :mad: Still, I did loads of knitting....two pairs of socks, plus another one...have finished the other since I got back, so that's dad's Father's Day pressie done. I did a F-D cross-stitch for him last year, but didn't finish it in time, so must root it out an make it into a card...sorted a bit early...amazing for me!!

Trawling through my mags and online bookmarks, as well as this thread for a birth sampler for my lil' sis and hubby to give to their first grandchild (due at end of June!! :eek:). I was planning to make a patchwork quilt for her and only just got the material for it, when my sis dropped this on me!! Not sure what kind of design they want (it's a little girl, already named Ava May), but trying to see what I have before looking to buy one. I could design one, but I have little enough time to do this, designing is really out, other than adding the name and date.

Am I the only one to find it weird to not only know the sex of the baby due, but actually announce the baby's name to everyone, months before she is born?

Who knows, I may get some cross-stitching started by the end of the week :rotfl:
