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

I remembered to take a piccie this morning.




Will leave the making of this up to a time when I can devote a full day to it and concentration is at full strength.

Will catch up with all posts later (hopefully). Got one of those ahead when you dont know whether you are coming or going :eek:

Hi,
B.e.g
Just about finished the last of my little dinosaurs,only the back stitching to do.find frames and then two Christmas pressies are done.
The next project is to start 12days of Christmas,any tips on what is the best place to start i.e from the middle as usual or graph it out and do them in turn?
It looks really,really good.it will turn into a Christmas tradition,to start Christmas off when you put it up on show.fantastic!

Mrs Ceejay, if it's the Arabian woman kit I found by googling, it is stunning!

Wow! This is great. It looks quite fine and detailed.


Ohh, please let my threads (or at least some of them, think I have to wait another 2 weeks for the rest!!) come today, I am desperate to get stitching again.

Hi,Ayeshalush,
That's the one,have bin trying for ages to find it,tried various sites no such luck!,wasn't even sure I had the right name! In fact I'd given up because couldn't remember all details.tried eBay,that was no good,so really pleased
To find it.
That seems to be a long time to wait,especially as you want to get on with it,hope they arrive soon.

I'll look forward to seeing it finished Mrs ceejay . Until I (very recently) started cross stitching, I thought all the kits / patterns available were all a bit twee. I couldn't be more wrong - there are some truly beautiful kits out there. I can't wait to get started on one of them .

I feel it is a bit long too!! I placed my order on 6th September and received my aida and some threads within 10 days which was quite good, was told on Monday, this week, that a delivery was expected that day which would contain some of my outstanding threads and they would be posted out straight away (but not received so far) and the rest will hopefully be in their last order in about 2 weeks time!! It's def the worst delivery experience from any online orders I've had (and I could probably be described as a serial online shopper lol )!

ETA - Nope, no threads today!! I am getting very fed up now!

Hi,Ayeshalush

Like you,I think it's too long to wait for an order,it will be over a month,much too long.
There seems so much choice,it can be mind boggling which one to choose.
I seem to go with big cats,especially leopards.i have one to finish dimensions leopards gaze,but got side tracked by grandsons request for dinosaurs.
I keep saying i'am not going to do anymore big projects as i'am running out of space to put them!!!!!
My cunning plan is to turn them in to cushions,OH doesn't seem to notice them,but I love doing them x
