    Evening everyone

    Just thought I would pop into the Cafe and let you know that I'm still alive and kicking (just about haha). Life has just been getting in the way and stopping me from getting any stitching done. Nothing bad really is happening just not enough hours in the day. I had a little tidy up at the side of my sofa at the weekend and I found the last two issues of WOCS has only the cellophane opened and that was as far as I had got with them. So I have decided to cancel that subscription for the time being.

    I must congratulate nmm on completing leopard - woo hoo - looks absolutely fantastic :T

    Lovely to see you back in the Cafe Elizabeth and JCS1 :hello:. What a gorgeous looking hunk that is JCS1 ;).

    Sorry to hear that you DH is out of work atm Coxy - I hope something turns up for him soon. It really does put the pressure on you all.


    Will try not to be a stranger even if I'm not stitching atm :D.

    Hi everyone,

    Love the new project nmm - beautiful colours

    Mrs Ceejay - well done on finishing Sydney, looks very effective framed in a ring.

    I still haven't picked up my stitching BUT I have finished all the component pieces for the drummers, except for the 12 drums which won't take long. Now the stitching up begins, but I'm in no hurry as they aren't needed until November lol!

    Hoping to do a little stitching this evening and over the weekend. Still no job for DH but on the plus side we now have a pond in the garden, a project we meant to do last year and didn't get around to.

    Hope all are well,
    Coxy
