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?

Morning all.

Me and hubby had a huge argument last night. Started off with cross stitch and escalated. I had to stay with family members. Feeling absolutely knackered. All of my cross stitch stuff is back at the house. I could treat myself to a mag I suppose

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



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

Congratulations. Grandchildren are wonderful. Feel for the Mum though

And onto Nightwing.

Love this. Very cute

Last weekend I stitched the middle letter of the superheroes name plaque I'm doing for GS3 Had to choose his favourite superheroes so the letters don't match the name. The M is Hulk. He wouldn't accept anything with superhero women on it. Think it's to do with having a bossy but very girly older sister

Sorry for adding to your list FOS!



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 :

When I stitch seed beads I do a cross stitch using 1 strand of thread so I go through each bead twice. This helps to keep them in place. And if I'm doing a large area of beads I do an occasional small back stitch on the back of the piece to anchor the thread. Don't want saggy beads:D

Do you want us girls to come down and hold him while you dodge him? You should treat yourself to a mag esp with a cover kit and also a big sticky donut before with a cup of tea - calms the nerves etc before stitching.

Thanks ladies. Spent a few hours looking for rental property. I cant believe the price of them. Only need something small for me and my son. We have a dog but many of themdon't take pets which is a shame. My dog is great company for me
