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

Well, I finally managed to pluck up the courage to finish off my Dad's Christmas stocking, I had been putting it off all week and panicking that if I messed this bit up I had wasted all that time and effort on a sock! :rotfl:

Here are the pictures, I did the inside of the stocking in red so that I contrasted with all the other colours, I found it quite difficult to find a fabric that I thought went with it as it has soooooo many different colours in it.

Afternoon everyone

m_o_s love the stocking, really unusual design.

I posted my exchange piece today by 1st class, hope it gets there safely

Still working on 1st page of elvis, have done about half. Been thinking that as its nearly end of week 2, at this rate I wont have it done by April. But hoping once I get past the lettering there may be some block stitching so I can catch up on some time.

If not I'm going to have made a early start on next years xmas presents! :rotfl:

I ate lunch there just over a week ago! Lovely kit.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's exchange pics next week.

That stocking is fantastic, by the way. I'm sure your dad will love it.

Bet your Dad will love his stocking mos :T


Still no stitching for mef as I am still reading Philomena (about a third of the way through now).

Got a couple of cards to make up before I start the dreaded task of writing them all. Haven't stitched as many cards this year as I just ran out of time.

Have a lovely weekend everyone
