Has anyone got any Xmas card designs? Hope to stitch family cards next year and thought I could do them in between big projects.

hugs and hi's to all who need them.

not much progress here been sorting out the house after christmas/ new year - painting, cleaning, moving things etc. determined to pick up DOH this week tho (hopefully an hour tonight).

will nip over to your 13 in 2013 thread in a bit soulie.

got a bit of a shocker last night/ today. my neighbor came round screaming for my hubby (who was at work), THANKFULLY my other neighbour was in and rushed to help her......................heard her calling an ambulance (but neighbor offered to take them to hospital)
.............................found out today it was cause she'd got home to find her son had taken an overdose trying to deliberately kill himself. when she found him he was unconscious :eek: if she'd just been half hour later........................

plenty online

due to copyright we are unable to e-mail charts that need to be paid for (either as kits/ charts or from magazines).

I have signed up to Soulies' 13 thread, but I'm taking a few days off of stitching. Got a 'wasgij' jigsaw that I'm going to tackle for a bit of a break

Also The Making Spot has some free charts that are Christmassy themed or would make lovely gifts.

Belated Happy New Year to everyone!

Have had a busy start to the year. Sorted out my stash and chosen my next project https://www.thecrossstitchguild.com/Shop/Product.aspx?product=76
Should keep me busy for a while!

Have resolved to use up all of my stash before buying anymore and also read all my books (both tree and Kindle) before buying anymore. Only exception to this is if I run out of a thread and need to buy another skein.

Have finished elegance in red, David Bowie and another kit called valentine so will post photos onc framed.

Right, time to tackle the backstitch on my Greek Scene
