Cross Stitch Cafe - stitching out of 2012 and into 2013...

blue_eyed_girl

My review of WOXS is very very similiar to yours maria. Those robins are so cute - DH has just copied a couple of them for me and I bought some white aida today to make a start but it wont be tonight as I'm supposed to be going to Shape and Tone in about five minutes and I will be totally cream crackered by the time I get back but .......... I am heading in the right direction. The little helpers are my favourite too.

chicky - with all those stairs you wont need Shape and Tone especially after running around after your little ones. I would need oxygen on stand by.

I like the look of the neon snowdrops btw.

free gift - not for me, put it up in daughters room
I like Margaret Sherry designs but don't like the backstitch so it's not for me

happy holidays - dont like, the snowman looks a bit funny to me
It's very cheery looking but it's not something I would do

dine in style- like this but i would do it in red DMC 666 lol because thats my favourite
I love the colours used for this, so different from a usual Xmas theme, but can see it looking good in red/gold as well.

Letters page - still no sign of my letter I think I should have asked for a confirmation email to say they had got it.

little helpers - like these very cute
Really cute

trick or treat - dont like but then we dont do halloween
Not something I would stitch

season greetings - not for me,
Nah - too old fashoned for my liking

rocking robins - love them so cute
These are great, and there are so many of them, loads of scope for cards/tags/pics

deck the halls - would be nice to personalise napkins for xmas or maybe gift tags
Not for me. Like the napkin idea though

santa stop here - is it just me or does santas face look a little odd
I never noticed tbh, I was too distracted by thinking that that reindeer had eyes like an alien :rotfl:I like the card version but not the big pic (and now you mention it, Santa does look strange!)

special delivery - so cute penguins are littlest imps favourite
Adorable!!!

sweet treats - still dont get it
Meh

stocking - love it and already planing to do it for xmas 2013
Not for me

bells and baubles - not for me
Nice picture but not keen myself

building a snowman - ok for a card
Agree

Next month - free gift looks good, like the decorations and calendar
I like the MP cottage

OFF TOPIC

Not amused at the company who does the school photos. For years there has always been an option to buy the photo on CD for £12.50, (I get 3 different CDs) which was great as I could upload it to use for the yearly photo calendar for the grannies.

This year they are 'only' charging £10 for the CD....BUT it's only available with the multipacks of photos at £50+

So they have outpriced themselves as I can stick the kids in their uniforms, go to a local photographer and get their pictures done for £25, (including a CD) but I do feel like I'm being mean (and I would have to say to the kids that we aren't getting their pictures)

Really?

I'm here to help - pick any of the following...... :rotfl:


1) If you have done ANY housework then you deserve some stitchy time as a reward.

2) If DS2 is napping then cleaning might just wake him up and disturb his routine so best not to clean just in case

3) If the item you're stitching is a gift for someone else, then that definitely counts as working

thanks Louise - i may stitch that

I quite like these, but would definately change the colours! What mag are they from?

Although I really don't need anymore Christmas card designs at the moment, I've booklets full to stitch!

Imagine is coming along, hope to finish by the end of the week :T

Is the free gift a Margeret Sherry calendar? If so, I'd love it. I was gonna see if WH Smiths had the mag in the shops tomorrow so I could see if it was worth buying the mag to get the free gift.

yes its a free Margaret Sherry calender here - new issue due in the shops on Thursday 13 September.

My sub copy hasn't come yet but the info in last month's mag indicates there are 6 exclusive designs. :j The paddy paws chart looks cute too I think I might stitch that :T
