Belated Happy New Year wishes to all _party_

We were away for New Year and then what with being back to work on the 2nd, my stitching and catching up time has taken a back seat....

I'm going to be spending January having a spring clean so not sure how much stitching will actually get done plus with one of my New Year's Resolutions being to read more, that's going to be fighting for my time also !

My new tablet arrived :j so I'm finding lots of apps to download and thought I'd read that you could get digital versions of the cross stitch mags? Has anyone done this and do I remember that you mark off the stitches you have stitched? - or am I imagining this? I searched for the WOXS app but couldn't find anything?

Under the picture click the share button (square with arrow in it) select "grab the html/BBcode" select BBcode leave size on medium, then copy the code and paste into your reply. Repeat for however many photos you want, hth. I look forward to the dino update, will be lovely seeing it stitched

I am taking down the decorations today and have put Ailsb's card to me into a coaster. So these are my 3 new Xmas coasters about to be packed away safely for next year

What a great way to save the cards, and a nice collection to start.:T

You could write the sender and the year on the back of them....my ones are going in a coaster now as well! (still have Ruths from last year)

I've totally forgotten what I stitched! Isn't that terrible? It was only just over a year ago for goodness sake...

Aha...found the pic in my album.


I really liked that set of designs. They're very cute.

Happy New Year everyone _party_

Erics Mum, I use an R&R clip/craft frame, I think they are one of the best ones

I purchased on of these a while ago:
http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Easy-Clip-Frames
I have used it for two stitches so far and I have to say that I am very impressed. Much easier than sewing the fabric to my previous frame. The tautness of the frame is exceptional and it's easier to keep it straight....

Thanks both, looks unanimous. I'm being a bit dim here but do I need a frame the same size as my fabric plus a bit of fabric to fold over and clip ? What if the fabric is longer but not as wide - how does this work ? Do you have several frames in diff sizes

Thanks again
