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

I'm so sorry PM, both for your dad and for your cat. Sending virtual hugs and hot chocolate your way (hot choc always makes me feel better) x

pm So sorry you are feeling as you do. Christmas is such a difficult time for so many people because the impression is that everyone else is enjoying the "traditional" family Christmas whereas the reality is different. It's a time when losses such as those you have suffered recently seem to be magnified. Please keep popping back into the Cafe whether you are stitching or not.

I popped into a new charity shop with some books and clothes and of course had to have a look around.

I spotted this and recognised it as a Framecraft pot designed for cross stitch. At just £2.50 I couldn't leave it behind and was even more delighted when I got it home and found that the fabric, threads and pattern to stitch the floral design shown were also included. Very pleased with my bargain find :j

You can't tell from the photo but it is the biggest size pot so is a useful piece as well as being decorative.

fos the pot is lovely what a brilliant find.

Managed to make up the three Christmas cards I sewed a wee while ago. Needed a couple of spare cards to send out so made up all three I had.
Unfortunately I had already written and sealed one card when I thought about the photo's so only two of them to show you. The third was another reindeer.

Well I did intend to do some stitching last night but it didn't quite happen what with the weather being so poor and getting very wet on the way home - by the time I was sorted, tea cooked etc, it was time to catch up with the tunnel x 2 and then head up to bed to make up for the poor night's sleep the night before.

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe in this very wet and windy weather. We lost a bin lid yesterday :rotfl:but some of our other neighbours have fence panels that are dancing in the wind so we were lucky. I hope it calms down.

Afternoon all,

Firstly I must apologise for my absence, I have been reading and enjoying all the updates you have been posting but lost my cross stitch mojo for a couple of weeks.

Going to restart my Kustom Krafts wolves cross stitch this afternoon so will post updates as soon as I have anything to show.

Hugs to all who need them and I promise I won't go AWOL again
