Flipping heck, page 3 already!!


I started Candlelight (John Clayton) last night and I'm fairly cracking on with it.

Hope everyone has recovered from Christmas?

Personally quite like it (despite not really being a cat lover!) but it is a lot of money if you don't absolutely love it.

Have been very nerdy and typed up a list of all the UFOs I have and want to do and already have finished off a Christmas bauble I started at the Harrogate show, it is in pride of place on the tree. Have also finished off a lovequilts square and got it ready for posting tomorrow. Next one on the list is a Gorjuss kit http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/I-Gave-You-My-Heart__BOT-XG2.aspx I bought last year for a friend's daughter - so that is my target.

We went to my OHs parents, and my dad came over for supper too :0). We ended the day watching Jonny Cash's 1976 Christmas special TV show and top of the pops 1970something.... Perfect to stitch along to!!

THANKYOU for the shiney new thread Chicky! 3 pages already, gosh!

See I like it and have looked longingly at it before .... but 18 count aida ? and all that background? I think I would go a tad crazy. See this is much more my cup of tea or this

I think its one of those kits I would like to own and look at and admire but actually stitch, well I don't think it would happen. I think I may take a raincheck on it for the moment.

Now this memory thread. have you tried it ??? whats it all about ???

Hi All,

Have lined up next small project which will be a card for my Sister in Law for her birthday in March and my next major project which will be a Christmas stocking for my Brother in Law. I was very lucky this year as OH got me this magnifying lamp for Christmas (to be fair it was one that I had sent him a link to earlier in the year when he was asking for ideas) but I'd forgotten about it so it was a nice surprise. http://www.johnlewis.com/231019336/Product.aspx

Hope that everyone is having a good day!

Joined the forum yesterday and I'm so glad to find there's other cross stitchers on here. I've been stitching for about 6 years now and it's more like an obbssession rather than just a hobby!

Is very :mad: with myself. I have started to stitch http://http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/White-Lightning__DIM-35108.aspx
which was going well till I had a drink and continued to stitch it wasnt good. I had to unpick loads as I did a section wrong. It serves me right for having a drink. :rotfl:
Hope everyone has a good new year
