  • Oh, I love Pinterest too - naughty naughty!!

    Still here, but just so busy - no x-stitch, so I sorta feel I shouldn't post - which I know is wrong. Bad me!
  • Hi

    Can I join in?

    I started stitching about a year ago, only doing small things, which seem to have got bigger and bigger with each project!

    Got quite a few to do as xmas presents so running against the clock atm

    TMIF - glad you are okay. I don't happy problem with people posting even if they're not stitching at the moment.

  • The first page says to register with flickr so I can post pics, but each time I try it just crashes my internet?
    Is there another way of posting pics?

    agree i wish Chicky would come back and post, its not the same without her.
    also thinking of Soulie and wish her well
    hopefully those not posting are just too busy doing crafty stitchy stuff

    Yes come back Chicky and warm wishes to Soulie. :heart:

    So firstly thanks to everyone who posted in reply to my comment about the cover of WOXS mag. Hmmm that's confusing about the designs being featured on the front cover but not being in the mag till next month? Perhaps someone didn't proof read the front cover. :rotfl: Something to look forward to for next month though :T There are a few bits I like in the new issue but next month looks AMAZING!

    Umm why do the designers never seem to smile??

    Yes please to Christmas Card Exchange :xmastree:

    My plans have changed for the next couple of days so now I'm debating whether to hit the shops or have a massive catch up with strictly and stitch session?

    I like the periodic table design too :T Its fab the designer has found us. I hope she sticks around :)

    PS I see some of you have been commenting about the review thread I set up for magazines. It is of course fine for peeps to review mags in the cafe here and indeed I don't mind if you duplicate posts. Likewise I don't mind for the review thread to contain chatty posts. I just thought having the review thread might make it easier to find posts we made about mags so many months down the line when we are trying to place what issue that design we wanted to stitch was in??!!... sort of an aide memoir for us :T

    TMIF - Don't let that stop you posting! How horrible would we all be if we ONLY let in people who were stitching something :D

    Salfordgirl - welcome to the forum, look forward to seeing what your are working on :) You can use other sites to host your pics if flikr doesn't work for you. Photobucket is another one I use.

    FE - My plan would be: Sat shopping, Sun relaxing stitching :j:j
