Just finished the cross stitch for my younger brother, who is gaming mad. Found a free pattern online.

That's brilliant He'll love it!

I love that cross stitch is so variable! From fine art reproductions, to flowers (sorry Louse!), to wild animals, to cartoons and gaming. And everything in between.

I have been feeling sad as my stitchy mojo has vanished but a friend of mine bought me a kit from her holidays, a trip to ho%%ycraft saw a spend of a couple of pounds on 3 small kits (they were 3 for 2) and WOXS dropped through my door yesterday and there are some lovely designs inside so hopefully the cross stitch bug will return!

Just working on the title of 12 days now :j

Hope mojo returns soon FE. I keep looking at the free Snowman chart that came with WOCS - might get some irridescent aida and do a couple of these for xmas cards (that's the plan for now anyway)

Take care everyone

Morning everyone,

Ems the gaming cross stitch is brilliant,wonder if anyone knows if there is such a thing like this for Lego.
B.e.g you seemed to have cracked on with your 12 days.
Fe hope you get stitching soon,something will take your eye and you will be off.
Not had time to do any stitching this weekend,what with washing,ironing,shopping and then the family arrived wanting Sunday dinner!i didn't know I could stretch a chicken so far!
BUT
today is mine so the dinosaurs are going to be stitched,no interruptions.

Hello everyone!

Haven't posted here in ages since finishing the Great Wall, but I have still been stitching.

I'm still doing my new, huge St Mark's Basilica kit. I've also just done a little gardening kit for my dad, and now I'm doing one of St Michael's Mount in Cornwall for my mum, because she works there. This is it:

Emslovesmickey that Mario pic is amazing! My boyfriend is a huge gamer and I really want to make him a Pokemon cross stitch present.

Thanks all. I'm sure the bug will be back soon re WOXS - and the robin cards that were featured on the front cover, (designed by Durene Jones) is it just me or do the pictures in the mag look like completely different pieces??? rather strangely, the pics on the front cover scream stitch me whereas the pics (of the same designs) in the actual mag don't inspire me at all?!

Still stitching the mouse! Not very impressive compared to all your pics but I think it's cute

Excuse the mistakes *ahem*
