I sent and got this reply earlier... here's hoping.

Hi, Please can you let me know if this has been dispatched or is back in stock now. I have been patiently waiting and have heard nothing since September and have seen the same gift offered as a subscription perk in other mags.


Thank you for your recent email regarding the Cross Stitch Card Shop.

Firstly please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you. I have checked your subscription details and can confirm that everything seems to be in order.

I am pleased to confirm that a replacement has been allocated for you, and will be received shortly.

subtle_mix i would ask them to confirm what they are sending you is the 'free' gift you were promised not a substitute replacement item (probally of lower value)

YAYAY :j:j but yes do check WHAT they are sending you. they offered me that replacement box thing that was rubbish.
keep fighting for it!!


Mrs MP glad your dad is feeling better.

right - got to update my to-do list for the next 3 days, then update my WW food log for today THEN I can do stitching :j:j

Good point...but the subject title includes the full offer name and also case ref and I included previous emails too. So should be ok. *fingers crossed*

They even try that and i'll start threatening them too. So far been playing nice.

Mp - Glad your Dad is in better health.

Caroline- Is Jaxon better now? Also I haven't forgotten you just been uber busy and everything I don't use has been packed away in prep for hopeful house move. Patches are looking lovely by the way.

P.s Anyone looking at holidays - remember to check groupon getaways.

Caroline - lovely squares

Ailsb - hope your Dad is on the mend soon - its such a worrying time.

Mrs. MP - great to hear your Dad is making progress.

Les Mis - saw it in Edinburgh a couple of years ago - brilliant.

Louise - hope you had a lovely evening. Aren't Mums wonderful

PurpleCrutches - looking forward to seeing your progress when your health permits. Take care of yourself.

subtle - good luck with your free gift.

Stitchy update - completed '1st Day of Xmas' square'. DS has left his camera out for me but of course it needs batteries. Will sort some over the weekend to take a piccy.

Hope you all manage some stitching over the weekend.

Happy Saturday Stitchers. I know some of you may have snow but I am loving the bright sunshine :j

Just wanted to share this amazing completed HAED - Merlin and Arthur which is on the ArtsandDesigns website. Simply stunning.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

I've got to do my self assessment tax return this afternoon and have visitors tomorrow so not a lot of stitchy time for me but I have started a Bent Creek kit called Snowflakes which is one of my 13 in 13 projects and which I am aiming to complete on 31 1 13

W-O-W, thats amazing. 32 count linen, don't think my eyes would be able to cope with that but a stunning piece of stitching.

Flowers I can only echo the Wow comment regarding the HAED. I couldnt manage it.

Hope evryone is having a good day. I managed a bit more of my bug yesterday and intend doing some tonight as well but have a bottle of wine in fridge so may not get much stutching done.
Have put put the completed pictures and photos on my sons wall today. Will take a photo and post it so you can see things in situ.

Hi All, hope you have all managed to get some stitching done today.

Here is the first photo of the progress I am making with my Xstitch photo conversion, I can't believe how long it takes! We watched Ripper street and This Is War film and this was all I managed to complete :eek:

Have a lovely evening (well, what's left of it and I will drop in again tomorrow and see your updates)

I concur!!!

What a brilliant film. I have to say the music was secondary to the acting, some of them weren't so great at singing but the emotion was amazing. Anne Hathaway made me cry twice!
By the end I could hear people around me sniffling and crying, and they applauded at the end (which I always think is a bit weird when there is no cast there lol):rotfl:

Amazing - well worth the trip, hubby is a convert now

That looks fantastic :T I couldn't stitch it on that tiny thread count :eek:

Ailsb

Moments - I think that progress is good. If you managed that amount every night it will be finished in no time at all.

Louise - glad you enjoyed the film. Trying to talk hubby into it, may have to wait until it's out on DVD.

Off down my Dads soon to clean and cook lunch so not a lot of chance of getting any stitching done. If anyone has a samsung tablet and knows how to take and then post photos from it could they let me know please, I can take a photo but can't seem to find how to get it on to flickr then post it.
