I LOVEEEEEEEE the birthday word ones, will have to see if I can find them online, would come in handy as they look like they don't take long to do.

The glass only took 2 hours (and that was watching telly at the same time)
If you can't find them, give me a shout and you can have my charts now I'm done

Hi Louise. I too love the 'word' pictures from Cross stitch card shop - shame the New Home is americanised with Yardwork and Neighbor!!

Do you have the detail where the Disney princess charts are from - someone asked about just such a thing at the last craft fair. THink I've found these now but it says they can't be sold once stitched so no good for craft fairs!!!

Lovely completed items as always. Currently stitching the pink new baby word card from CSCS but done it in one strand rather than two -really should read the instructions more carefully!!!

Chickywiggle - shame I don;t live closer. WOuld love to take those mags off your hands. I love to look through the older ones. I manage to pick one or two up from a charity basket in my local stitching shop sometimes.

Regards from a snowy Derbyshire

I also love the words cards - I have been so busy recently that I hadn't even looked at my issue of CSCS until I saw your post. I'm sure folks will realise it's the same designer as the Let's Sew sewing machine design that Maria and I stitched earlier in the year.

I really like the new home card design but 2 of the words are too American - I refuse to stitch Neighborhood without a U so was thinking of changing it to Neighbours with a heart or similar at the end as there will be a space. But I'm struggling on how to change Yardwork so any suggestions would be gratefully received

I'm thinking the wedding one would make a nice insert for the front cover of a wedding album and the birthday ones you have stitched are fab.

Also love the monkeys though had to smile at your version of losing your stitching mojo - to most people that would be awesome output :rotfl:

Remember if you are having a mag clear out keep a look out for my zodiac pattern, please?

It is from an early issue of a magazine for stitching and I think it was in needlepoint not cross stitch.

If anyone else is having a mag clear out or can remember the name of the magazine - much appreciated - I know its not cross stitcher or cross stitch collection or needlecraft magic - have them or bought them as said "seller" on eb*y said they did have pattern only to receive mag and it not.

Don't mean to be rude,

Thank you.

Have you got any more details of the design you are looking for?

Early magazines were Needlecraft and Needlework both of which featured needlepoint as well as cross stitch designs

That is a lovely one Chicky - its tempting me. Its not the one I am looking for though. It is something like this -



but in stitching think it was either needlepoint or tapestry - I only got one or maybe two copies of the magazine - didn't continue it on.

Thank you for all your help

Started this one last night and 15 hours later it is finished. Found it a bit strange as the colours were dark green and navy, but it looks okay when complete....xx

Brilliant update pictures and wow that's a lot of stash chicky, I dread to think what you've kept :rotfl:

All my pets are full of the cold atm, first Tikaani was sneezing then she passed it onto Maxie and now the fuzzies have it poor wee things, I took a photo of them snuggling, sooo cute

Finished a little Fizzy Moon cover kit from one of last year's WOXS, I decided to mount it on to a gold card, with magnets at the back so my Aunt can take it off and put it in a little frame for future Christmasses.
