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

Finally finished my needle case. Don't think I left enough space between the 2 pieces of card as it won't sit closed completely. Will maybe put a fastener on it.

Now what to do? Should I start another small project or just wait until my threads arrive, although that could be another week, to start Henry. Decisions, decisions! Should prob just hang fire starting anything else as I have plenty of other craft projects I should be getting on with.

I have a needle case I made years ago, it looks very like this one. I pleated a thin cord and fastened one on each side in the middle so that they would tie and hold the case together. This was part of the instructions on mine. If that doesn't make sense I can post a picture.

b_e_g. - Hope you get a good nights sleep and feel more like stitching tomorrow. The red tree has me intrigued. Looking forward to your photo.

Hip pipal - I think I know what you mean but it would be great if you could post a photo. Thanks.

Hi everyone,


Thank you for your comments on my latest project. I love working on linen and really like this design. I did a bit more last night and hope to finish it sometime next week. Will take it to be professionally framed as it's a gift.


Big Bird - the lilies look lovely


Annie021063 - your design is really coming on


fos - nice sparkly navy fabric - is it difficult to stitch on? If I Stitch looks great framed up. I took a look at the Just Nan designs. They are lovely, must resist......


nmm - nice start to floral cat


Ayeshalush - the needlecase looks great


Ailsb - you have been busy - pictures please :-)


shelly - lovely update


sweetcarer - nice start to the twisted band sampler. The learning sampler is looking fab.


Emily926 - very pretty wedding sampler


JCS1 - farm design looking good


pm2326 - I love the progress on Elvis.

Have been having a rummage and think I'm going to do a 'word' design next. Don't often do designs with words in (just personal preference, nothing weird!) Anyway, I will post a pic in the next post, but let's just say, it was the broad bean button that did it for me!!!


Have a good day all
Coxy

Not entirely sure, here is the 'original' design: http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ef/02/c1/ef02c1abd6fc30fb7315476b057dba12.jpg

Doesn't seem that large all in all. Bit bigger than my usuals though.

Coxy11 - see what you mean about the broad bean button, so cute!!


Mrs T_M - that's a fab Mario design, my nephew would love it!!


Yay, my threads have just arrived. They were quicker than I expected. Will be bobbin winding tonight and then, hopefully get started stitching Henry and his wives tomorrow.


Does anyone else here use Internet Explorer 11? If so do you find that you can't get the smilies to work? Always worked fine for me on this PC until I upgraded from Windows 9.

He would love my monster stitch then! I call it that because I've been working on it on and off for the past year and a half...

I finally finished the green tree last weekend though!
