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

Hi guys, sorry I've been awol for ages, took on more work so I'm super busy and barely had my computer on. Still managed some stitching, a birthday card for my mum, a 40th piece for my sister and some of the leopard as well. Will sort out the pictures and update later. Hope you are all enjoying yourselves whatever you're up to :rotfl:

Here are the pictures I promised

Latest JNM Leopard Update



My mum's birthday card



My Sister's 40th Piece that I found on a card and stitched for her. None of the text seemed to center it was always 1 or 2 letters off either side, but I don't think she'll notice :rotfl:

Lovely update on leopard and those birthday stitches are great
Lovely little tooth bags I'm sure they'll sell well

Finally got the Winnie The Pooh section I was working on back-stitched:

This is on pause for the moment, while I continue to work on the Mum's Heirloom quilt thing:

Quite pleased with how my stitching is coming out so far on this. Not really used my sewing machine for much more than putting a cushion together, so this is going to be quite a big deal in the end. DH is under strict instructions to not touch the dining table or sliding doors while I work on this!

Love all your pics - nmm, kezbabybabe and mrs ceejay :T:T:T

Sorry I am not too familiar with flickr mrs ceejay so wouldn't be able to offer you any advice.

Still not stitching - just not enough hours in the day I'm afraid. To make matters even worse - decorating has commenced as of yesterday only its not just decorating there is going to be quite a bit of diy too so I think it may be quite a while before the needles/evenweave makes an appearance.

Take care everyone,

Hi guys...:wave:

I've been missing in action for months...I lost my stitching mojo after elvis and couldn't get back in to it, then along came summer and you know how it goes, gardening, later hours at work etc...

Anyhow I'm preparing to pick up the needle again with a new picture...of Elvis! :rotfl:

My mums asked me to do a smaller pic for her best friend who turns 70 next year so I thought I'd better get a move on in case my mojo keeps disappearing on me!

Have the chart and fabric just need to sort out the threads

Has anyone been to the stitch & knit show before? Going in October to Alexandra Palace and just wondered what to expect.
