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

chickywiggle

just a quickie as I can head DS2's dulcit tones which means he is up and about to trash his bedroom,

Hi all,

An update from Origin Publishing.
If you haven't had your free gift with the card shop subscription of vintage sewing box and DMC threads .

DO contact them and DO hound them.

I have NOW been told they are out of stock of them (after lies about already sending it out etc).

They offer you 2 other freebies (no good for cross stitching from what i can tell) or 3 free issues.

NOT amused with them but can't find a facebook page to rant on.

Am waiting for hubby to switch off lego batman on the PS3 (!!!!!! HOW old is he??!!!!) so we can watch Harry Potter Goblet of Fire (we are having a HP marathon - already watched the first 3 this week).

erm just done a quick think and hubby has at least 20 different systems and over 1000 games to with them. As you can tell he is a collector of systems and vintage games. But he also enjoys the modern stuff too - he has already hinted if we get money for christmas can we get a xbox 360 (we usually get money each so he will use his for this and i probably have to use mine for bills - tried asking him if he can do same or part of it).

Love your quote froddington!

Well technology is working for me today - managed to load pictures on to photobucket fine and here they are. First is the picture I am doing for my AOY exchange - just waiting for some DMC butterfly aida (has butterflies printed on it) and the second one is the latest on my birth bear stitch. Hope to finish the bear tonight and then onto the back stitching and details.

Glad the wee dog is ok. Meal plans - I do sit down in a Saturday morning with my shopping list and go to mysupermarket and check where is cheaper to buy the items. I do half think what is for all the dinners for the week.

Well time for the photos - keep well everyone - till next time!

I'm being lazy and typing this on my iPod touch so this will prob be a quick post!

Glad monday is over. Today seemed to really drag! I love love love the heritage oh dear dog kit that is now up on the sew and so new items list. But I don't like the price!

Feel a bit more awake now so tv and perhaps a little bit of stitching tonight.

Thanks for meal planning tips

Here's my "If" update.

The next leave is green with a gold stem. then I'll repeat.
Going to attempt (with the help of the chart I stole the leaves from) to do a red spirly swirly pattern between the leaves to tie them together.

Not a good night last night (see my diary) but you know what........ I don't care anymore.
anyways FE I MUST start my meal planning again as I now need to cut my already tiny food budget by about half. very very boring meals things to eat coming up.................can you survive on just chocolate??
Monday - toblerone
Tuesday - dairy milk caramel
Wednesday - bournville................................
