The "no frills, no gremlins (hopefully)" cross-stitch cafe

FOS - you’re a mind reader. At 6.30 this morning I was looking back at last years thread to see when we started discussing the Christmas Card Exchange - can you believe it was in September last year with a deadline of 21st September, how organised were we. Please count me in. Are you happy to do the organising?

Anyway it also made me think about the people who were on the forum then and I haven't seen post in a while, apologies if you have and I’ve missed your post. So here goes - this is the hope that they still read and just haven't got round to posting.

Soulie - hope you are ok, last time you posted you had been back in hospital. If anyone knows how Soulie is doing and doesn't want to say here I'm happy to receive a pm (Sweetcarer – I know you updated us last time).

Subtle_minx, Maria and the Imps, sc00bie, Ruth_honey – hope you are well and just out of the habit of posting or decided it’s not for you any more.

Chicky – I know you decided not to post in here but couldn’t mention everyone else without saying hello to you. Hope your little ones are behaving themselves.

Anyway getting out of bed now, hospital told me to rest I’m not just bein lazy. Well that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Going to sort the thread and fabric to start Rock, Scissors, Stone. Have decided that the deadline of 11.12.13 for the Nativity ABC was stressing me and I wasn’t enjoying stitching it so I’ve put it on hold. It will be completed but not this year. Wow, I feel relief already at having said thatJ

morning all

id love to do the card exchange again, it was a pleasure to take part.

Louise thank you for posting the minion link (i have just lost an hour on pintrest:o)

thanks for good wishes for DS2s day Fos, he went off at 7am loaded up with layers and a waterproof (just in case) im hopeful he'll be dry and blisterless but maybe tired when i walk down to get him back at about 6pm tonight

nmm, BD is looking brilliant you are doing so well on him.

must get the backs finished on those two signs and get the next one started i need a small bmw car for that one its another new home but the guy loves his cad so ive been asked to put a car on it, ive trawled through all my mags but so far no bmw's to be found.
off for another look on tinternet.

have a good day all and a great weekend:)

Could you chart the BMW logo?

*Louise*

NOOOOO....Why did I do it?!!!:eek::eek::eek:



I joined Pinterest....:o



Half of me is thinking 'Why didn't I join sooner', the other half is thinking 'ohhh, I shouldn't have joined'

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

*Louise*

Btw - does anyone know what has happened to 'Als cross stitch'?


I was going to through my wish list (to pin them!) and I had marked her butterfly/eye and pink sparkle fairy but the web link doesn't work. Checked her facebook group and she hasn't posted in 18 months

Now I know why I buy things when I see them and have a stash

Sorry Louise I can't help with regards to Als but I do fall into the see it buy it for the future camp on things I really like - as you all know.

Have started Rock, Paper, Scissors etc. Have Spocks hand done in / need to go back in \ now which I can do without the chart and with my son in the room. It's white on white and he isnt that observant, especially when he's playing on his xbox

Glad to hear it is going well. Sounds like you stitch like I do, that is work a large area one way and then go back over it without needing the pattern.

Apparently I have pinned too much and hit one of their 'blocks to avoid spam'...please come back later.

Good morning all

Last year we had a Christmas card exchange which went very well. Quite a few of the people who took part aren't active members at the moment including Caroline who organised it but if there is any interest this year I'd be happy to organise this time

We would restrict it to people who are current members

If we allow 2 weeks to register interest then at the end of the month I would send each participant details of who they are stitching a card for

November would be stitching month with cards posted 2nd December

Photos would be posted in the Cafe's group on Flickr where you can see some of last year's. This is the lovely card I received from Mrsmp

Yes, please, let me know, the details.

Another reason why not to join lol - I am tempted but guess I will get too much temptation and not be able to afford to do it all - have enough temptation in here and FB lol.

Its cold up here - think I will put on the heating for a bit, then get on with some stitching.

Kind wishes to all
