    louise pleased to hear you are back home and I hope you get a diagnosis soon which will lead to treatment.

    Did you see the article in the latest issue of Cross Stitch Crazy about 10 ways to tell you are addicted to XS? I reckon everyone in the cafe has at least one of the symptoms. I am certainly in the category of planning next Christmas's stitched decorations as I look at this year's and also agree that the perfect day off is a new XS mag and hours of uninterrupted stitching. I thought of you when I read the one about having XS cards for every occasion and there should be another one - insisting on being able to collect stitching supplies before being admitted to hospital. Love your African stitch and you've made great progress - I'm sure you got lots of interest from staff and patients

    I haven't read the mag yet but just had a read of that article....I have to admit to being guilty of having a few of those signs!:o

    I might Facebook them re. the hospital comment :rotfl: The Doctor did query why my husband couldn't just collect my things.....he obviously didn't understand.....but he had a look at it the following day and commented that I seemed a lot more relaxed :D


    Eric's mum- loving the brightness of the poppy design


    Mrsm- the tiger cub is adorable :T

    Hi everyone,

    Done one of my wee wedding samplers - done early as the groom leaves our work today - so had to do it for now.

    Thank you all for your kind wishes about mum, still think its a dream, still not used to her not being there.

    Kind wishes to all

    One more finish to 'report' - this one is a take on Eddie Izzard's tea and cake or death skit. It's still in major need of a good ironing though!
