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

Hi everyone. I have been so busy with Christmas preparations and work (our busiest time of the year) that I have only had time to read the posts periodically so first resolution for 2012 is to try to keep up.

Virtual hugs to all those who need them.

Thanks to everyone who posted Happy Christmas messages. And of course a big thank you to Chickywiggle for starting a new thread.

This is the first day I have had any "me time" so will have a look through my stash and decide on what I want to stitch in 2012. I know I want to do another Shepherd's Bush stocking (and possibly 2) in spite of the fact that the last of this year's 3 stockings was only just finished in time to be posted. And my list won't just be cross stitch

PS Your views on this kit please kitty litter

I like it but not sure I like it enough to stitch it.....

I love it! That's just my kind of kit. If it was a little cheaper I'd add it to my stash
I keep looking at the tanto thread organiser you asked about. I like the idea of it but not sure I'd be able to keep it good condition for long. I can knock things over just by looking at them :rotfl:
I think I'll stick to ziplock bags, much safer for me to use

I don't post very often as I don't often log in, but I'm going to join in with this thread as I have so many projects that I've started but not finished:o

I bought Celtic Summer in 2003 and admittedly I didn't start it until 2010, but I've hardly touched it and I've got Celtic Spring and Celtic Autumn to do yet too:o

I'm hoping if I follow this thread, I will be inspired to do more...as long as I don't spend more time reading and no time sewing:p

The Celtic ladies are fabulous designs. Over many years I have stitched Autumn, Summer, Spring and Noel and rotate them on my walls with the seasons. Here is a picture of Autumn. Hope you do find this thread gives you the inspiration to finish yours.

To the more advanced stitchers out there.Is it better to put the detail (like back stitching and couching) in as you go on bigger projects or at the very end. Am thinking of putting the detail in as I go, so I dont get too lost at the end. Just wondered what everyone else does??

As long as you've done all the stitches around the back stitch, it doesn't hurt to do it as you go... and at least you can see the picture developing... Just as long as the backstitch goes over the top of the sttiches

Some people do a page at a go (for multiple page patterns).

I don't really think it matters

I do mine as I go along, it's nice to see it all forming as I go, gives me a sense of being nearer completion.

I don't mind backstitching all that much but the thought of doing it all at once at the end isn't tempting lol
