Hello!

No I'm not, I will join up tonight that will be an easier place to put progress of my Cross Stitch on instead of spamming here

Nooo, spam here all you like, WE LOVE PHOTOS, lol we're just very quiet atm. I have almost finished 1 little mouse which has taken me far too long to stitch.

I love photos as well they keep the thread motivated.

Hope everyone is well.

Hello!

Hope everyone is stitching well, I started on my design last night after hunting everywhere for white linen with no success, so whoever get's mine will have some lovely handdyed linen as it's all I had spare lol! Also hoping the colours suit it!!

Mags_cat - I asked to join the group on Flickr, please disregard my first request as I thought I was in my flickr account and obviously I wasn't lol!

Finally finished my first little mouse, it took forever on aida. For mouse no2, I've switched to evenweave and what a joy to stitch with, he's flying along. I don't use evenweave much but I really think I should, I love it.

LFC, you've inspired me to start my mammoth Dreams of Atlantis, i'm going to do it 1 over 1 on 25ct evenweave, just so its not too huge, save my OH the cost of framing it, lol.

Oooooo that sounds lovely, I've done a quick search but loads of different things came up, who designed it and I will have a good nosey.

I love the ideas of mice, I've seen a few Cards done with them and they are so cute. I think I have a couple from a mag from a couple of months ago. More birthday than Christmas though ! I'm around 3/4 the way through mine and I am seriously in love!! I think everything has come together nicely. Looking forward to do a couple more quick ones to give away this year instead of my normal stamped ones!

Hello all,

Just a random question I seem to have a few of the threads left of from free kits with magazines, how does everyone store these? Do you keep them separate or with your normal threads?

Thanks
