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

Wow, thank-you for the welcomes, what a nice section of the forum

I am investigating flickr but it currently won't let me sign in (via google)! May have to try another tactic!

Pic added to my google album https://picasaweb.google.com/organiclemur/MyProjects#5906507388083139810

I put my scissors since there was a conversation about them (and I love my pretty scissors!), but the photo is pretty rubbish so you can barely see them, apologies for that!

Not sure if you will be able to manoeuvre around within my google album but there are some other cross stitch items in there - nothing anywhere near as beautiful or challenging as you guys can do, but I am proud of them. My best work was the blue tit. He is a lavendar bag I made for my nan not long before she died. He lives with me again now and reminds me of her

There is also a stain as you will see, on the bottom left of the picture. I'm unsure how to get this out but must do it soon - vanish soap bar perhaps?

Hiya, don't put yourself down your cross stitch pieces are lovely, I really like the completed House & Birds, it looks like lots of work went into that one. I love your current project too, I guess you love birds, I love wildlife too I've done lions, then a tiger and currently working on a wolf.

JCS1, great progress on the tulips, they'll be done in no time

moments_of_sanity, is that soulmates by Kustom Krafts? I may have got the name wrong but i'm sure its a KK kit, same as my BD.

Speaking of BD I managed to get quite a bit done yesterday, this page should be completed super quick, lots of big chunks of the same colour :j

Hi nmm, it is indeed a Kustom Kraft kit and it's called Happy Nappers. I have really enjoyed doing it so far but am only about to start page 5 out of 9...I think I am a slow stitcher! Lol

Love the Tulip Xstitch, it looks amazing.

I started mine just after Christmas as I managed to get the complete kit for £19.99 in the winter sale . I have done another couple of things in between so that I don't eat bored with it but I love how quickly it comes along. Which KK chart are you doing, sorry don't know what BD is

BD stands for Beautiful Dreamer by kustom krafts Here is what he'll look like eventually
