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

Afternoon

My threads have arrived so no more missing colours :T

The light is terrible at the minute due to the heavy rain outside, so no stitching, will have to wait until I put main living room light on tonight before filling in the gaps in stitching.

I'll take a photo in the morning of where I'm at with Elvis x

Hi ladies, hope you are well. I've been stitching away on Floral Cat, I have most of the cat done except for his white chest, will take a photo on sunday to show progress.

My leg has healed really well, just finished my antibiotics yesterday afternoon and all was good till I woke up this morning, head to toe red spots :mad: Went to drs and they say its just an allergy rash so on antihistamines but ouch its so itchy and really bad where my dressing was. I also almost died on a cornetto yesterday, went down wrong tube, followed by me choking and having ice cream fly out In the words of final destination "When death has your number...." I better get floral cat and BD finished pronto :rotfl:

Ended up walking lots yesterday in town carrying two tins of paint and 13 packs of floor tiles, so really over did it on my poor feet. One of my heels feels like it's bruised, I can barely put any weight on it today!

I was able to get the ceiling painted in the hopefully future nursery though, and it looks really good!

Guess due to the foot pain, today will be filled with watching NCIS episodes (I'm on season 2 already, how did that happen?!) and stitching. Oh bother.

I have all the box sets of NCIS, just finished watching season 10

End of season 2 is very emotional and shocking - don't want to say any more until you've watched it

Well done pm Elvis is really coming along nicely. Hope you manage to get to the end of page 3 before you go back to work. Weather here is pretty rubbish today so a perfect excuse to stitch - there again when have we ever needed an excuse to stitch

He is so lovely :T


No stitching so far today but I AM going to stitch later this afternoon.

Seem to be having trouble when typing posts - they are displaying as huge and having to scroll all over the place. Is anyone else having trouble or have I changed a setting somewhere?

Take care everyone

He is lovely Mrs TM! You seem to stitch really quickly. I hope your heel is feeling better.

I'm hoping to do a bit of stitching this afternoon and will try and post an update later.

I don't really know about quick, but I'll take your word for it.

The heel is much better. I did paint a bit in the nursery yesterday, just in the corners and around the window and outlet where I had taped off. About to walk up to Aldi with DH (we are having a biscuit craving at the moment). Been stitching this morning while watching ncis and plan on stitching more this afternoon.

I have the same problem with the forum, I think its because we are on a stretchy forum skin so Maria's lovely Bella pics are showing full size and stretching the forum out of shape. When i'm not logged in the pictures are small and the forum is fine, its set to fixed width by default.
