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

Subtle, try uninstalling the touchpad drivers from device manager, then restart and it should reinstall them.

Hey, Thanks for the help, I've tried all suggestions and it's not working. It seems to work for a little while and then misbehave again. Wondering if something to do with laptop getting oldish, I think at least 3 years. Is that old for one? Joel keeps threatening to format the c:drive but the headache involved with listing and reinstalling lots of software.. eugh.

In stitchy news, I have started the Do not disturb stitching hanging from WOCX to put on my craft room door when we move

This is from this month's WOXS magazine, my DD wants it to put in her 'love' frame in her room, she didn't want want the flowers outlining so I have left them. I have gone slightly wrong with the flowers on the right hand side, they are lower than they should be but didn't want to sit and unpick!

crafty - love square and kiss. :T

maria - love your let's sew too :T

louise - great pics especially scrabble. Mum will love it.

AM - love li-bra :T I'm sure your little one will really enjoy pre-school.

Misty Blue - welcome back and well done on your progress with HAED. Don't leave it so long next time before you pop back in.

greetingsearthling - welcome to the Cafe. Looking forward to seeing your update pics whenever time permits. I think you will have to have a few more posts before it will allow you to post piccies. Just keep popping in now and again.

nmm- I use double sided tape from Poundland for sticking cards together and haven't really had a problem so far (fingers crossed not wanting to tempt fate )

Julie - your movies pic looks brilliant and will look wonderful in your new flat.

subtle - mentioned your laptop problem to DS and he said it could be something as simple as the skin on your fingertips being a little bit dry and the conductivity isn't as good for operating the touchpad. Might be worth looking into as it's not too drastic. Good luck.

mos - love your little stitch. I'll definitely be doing it soon.

Finished neice's card and have decided to frame it instead as I had forgotten I have bought (shock horror) a card. Thought about keeping it for next year, but she will be 18 then and I will need a special card and I will probably lose it in the meantime.

Started 9th Day of Xmas - so when this square is done I will be having a break from it and re-starting Sleeping Beauty.

Rain has started here but I think it will take some time before all the snow/ice is washed away.

Stay safe everyone,

Hello everyone I have recently rediscovered my love of stitching so found this thread and have been admiring your work but realised I should join in and not lurk

I am currently stitching a Somebunny piece as a birth sampler and have probably too many WIPs/UFOs around as I haven't stitched properly for a year or so :eek: I need to have a good sort through really.

My aims for this year are to finish some projects, stitch my Xmas cards and find, fall in love with, and start a HAED.

Today will mostly be spend doing washing (yawn) and batch cooking.... but I do intend to do some cross stitch (famous last words.....)

I wonder (off topic) if any of you have made your own jewelry in the past? I quite fancy having a go - well making this kind of thing first but have no idea where to begin - visited a bead shop yesterday and was a bit overwhelmed with all the bits on display and know I will need a few tools but not sure exactly what and wondered if anyone could offer me any pointers. (perhaps suggest an online retailer to buy supplies).

Thought there might be a designated thread on here but haven't found anything.

It looks wonderful framed. Your DD must be delighted
