Cross Stitch Cafe......where your "to do" list gets longer by the day

The Technology one is SO on my wish list - same as PAP - I'd like it just to turn into cards. I shew it around at work when it was first posted and we all had a good laugh

I WILL do some stitching tonight....... but do I do some superhero quilt or something else?


Is anyone else finding this thread weird??? No matter when I look it always tells me there is a new post (displays in bold) whether that is 10 seconds after I have looked or 2 hours. Even when I post it still tells me there are new posts yet still shows that I was the last post. Its the only one to do it - very weird.

Beads and embellishments



And fabric, krenik, and the amazing waterlillies threads (never used these before)

That look amazing. I think I'd be scared to open anything, would just look lovingly at it for hours.

Maybe you should hang him in the under stairs cupboard?!?

That did make me laugh :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:My EX husband was always funny about me displaying my cross stitch. So I left him and can now display as much as I like. DH2 is very proud of my efforts. He takes photos on his phone and shows people!

I am now a Granny. GS was born on Tuesday at a whopping 10lb 8oz. Been to see him this afternoon and he's so cute. Mum and baby doing well

I seem to be getting loads of emails stating new posts and then when I log in there's nothing. ......very strange

Seed beads look the same as other ones I've used in the past, though haven't yet got around to opening them - daren't with an inquisitive cat in the house :rotfl:

Thanks JCS, :rotfl: at your cat, mine is prob the same, my dog yesterday took some normal beads for a walk. I like the look of the krenik thread too, I need to use them. Out of interest when you stitch a bead on how do you do it? Do you do half the stitch as normal then pick up the seed bead on the final pass?

I showed my brother it too Chicky and he had a giggle. That would be who I would make the cards for. I don't think he would appriciate the whole thing to put in a frame. Enjoy it, I am going to watch ebay for a chart only... However I know Bothy are funny with there charts and they don't have the DMC numbers. Are they still like that? Love bat girl!

Sweetcarer, good luck with it and I am hoping for a great outcome :T

Going to do a pic tonight and update my progress. Just need to get my camera back from lil brother :rotfl:

Morning all :wave:

I hope everyone has a fab stitchy weekend planned :j

I also received WOXS yesterday so I'm looking forward to sitting down and having a proper nose at it later! I don't think much of the free gift this month though. I would much rather have a kit.

I also like the Bothy Threads technology kit but not sure I like it enough to buy.

What is everyone planning on stitching this weekend?

Im a bit gutted. Hubby wont let me put tapestry up so I guess it will go in the drawer

Sorry?? " Let you "??? Last time I looked it was 2013 not 1813

Do you have anywhere in the house that is mainly yours? Kitchen? Spare room used as craft room?

Having said that I usually show designs to DH before I stitch them and if he really dislikes something I won't bother stitching it for our house

Would someone else you know like it? You could be ahead on your Xmas present list . Or could it be used as the top of a sewing box which would obviously be yours. Or as a cushion?
