I'm interested in that frame, I can never keep the tension with hoops. I'll have a browse on Amazon/EBay later.

Just been in the cupboard, it's called the able stretcher, I've taken a photo of the box so you can see what I mean about rods and chain links. HTH

Thanks for the tip mrs m-p. Any excuse to have a new craft gadget


Great update nmm


I've managed approximately zero Gingerbread Trio stitching this week. The trains have been messed up so I've been getting in late/leaving early and only taking a short lunch break. I did manage an hour on Collecting Shells on Monday night. Slow progress but it's getting there


It's my youngest DS's birthday on Sunday. DH is taking him and some friends paintballing tomorrow (rather them than me!!), so I have a free day. Thinking of doing some stitching whilst the house is quiet


Hope you all have a great weekend.

Aaaah Mrs mp she looks lovely, great update photo. I have a mr t shop coming between 8 and 9 tonight so will do some stitching in between times. Did manage some on Saturday whilst burning a lovely candle and watching Corrie on catch up. I know how to treat myself lol!

I've come to a halt now as I need another gold thread and the beads, shop have said they'll ring when the rest of my order is in-hopefully won't be too long.

Morning all, hope all are well.

Looking good MrsMP x

No stitching for me at work this week as I haven't had time. I had a migraine on Tuesday and had to come home early which wasn't great.

Today I have an unexpected morning off of rugby as DD didn't fancy it and I'm not prepared to row about it. Might do some stitching after lunch as the ironing is beckoning. Meeting DSis and dmum late this afternoon for a belated birthday meal for DS1. We have a voucher for pizza express yum!

I took out a 5 for £5 cross stitch crazy subscription and my first copy arrived yesterday. I would never pay full price for it but it's good to get some ideas for little makes.

Have a good weekend all

I hope everyone is well and not to battered by the weather.

Nice update Coxy, I'm the same not much spare time as we are opening a shop and it needs quite a bit of work. Thankfully the end is in sight and we should be open soon. I have managed some stitching and crochet so will post an update later today.
