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

shelly

Hi ladies.

Apologies in advance for the length of this catch up post, I haven't posted for a couple of weeks......which isn't anything new for me I suppose but this time it's not just laziness. Also haven't picked up my needle for at least 3 weeks because even though stitching usually calms and relaxes me, it just hasn't worked over the last few weeks and I didn't want to force it and make mistakes. Anyway, I found something in one of my breasts and asked about it when having my smear. Got referred to breast care unit at hospital and have been today. Everything is fine! :T:j:T

Had a mammogram and an ultrasound and everything is normal.



Now for my catch up....

Kez. Great Dictionary of tea update. Reminds me that in the hospital today someone had stitched the Dictionary of Bras and it was hanging on the wall of the unit.

Emily. Lovely Dolly Mama finish. I'm probably too late to comment but I personally prefer the first 2 kits you linked to even though I like Tatty teddy I thought the first ones were really lovely.

Ems. Nice photo stitch finish, you must be pleased with how it's stitched up.

Fos. Really like the framed ABC of needlework, it's beautiful. Look forward to seeing how you finish Geisha off, would be great as either a bag panel or a cushion. Nice update on SH name plate.

Maisie. Ballerina bear really cute, nice card finishes.

MrsMP. Titanic finished looks amazing! You must be very pleased with yourself. Tiger cub is coming along great and I look forward to seeing how you decide to finish him off.

Louise. Wow! You certainly had a productive day on the 12th, so many lovely finishes. Sorry to read you have been in hospital but I hope you feel better soon now you are home.

Maria. Lovely keyring and flower brooch. The morning saying is fab, can agree with it.

Sweetcarer. Glad you are feeling better, LS is coming along great.

Chicky. Lovely Valentine card and Trick or Treat finished is great.

MrsCeejay. Lovely Dinosaur finish.

MrsTM. So sorry to hear of your loss. Hope your good days outweigh the bad and all the best for the future.
Some lovely finished pieces but the Ninja is just brilliant!

EricsMum. Jack Russell finish looks full of mischief!

Tricksie. I really like the Cafe design you are stitching next. Any pics yet of Overlook Cafe finished or did I miss them?

Nmm. BD update lovely, is it nearly finished?

Ailsb. Henry and his wives is coming along great.


Sorry if I missed anyone! I was making notes as I read the thread from my last post.

Now I have got todays appointment done I hope to get back to Rose Garden, have missed stitching!

Not too bad thanks, still getting pain in my chest and down my left arm but it comes and goes (more annoyed that it hinders my stitching lol) just getting on with things and waiting for follow up appointments x

I got that kit ages ago, I don't know why it became a UFO so quickly, because it's nice to stitch I can only imagine I must have had to start a gift for someone.

I need to have a look at your link later- I love stitching quotes and phrases
