Cross Stitch and Craft Cafe 2019

nmm

Hi coxy, you sound super busy atm can't wait to see the framed finishes.

His birthday was on Thursday so I cut it a bit fine, I speak to them tomorrow night so I guess he'll let me know if it arrived safely. i'm in for the card exchange, may only be us this year, do you have facebook? some of the old caf! members are in a group on there they may want to join in too. I'm currently stitching the free bauble gifts from the latest Crazy mag, really like quite a few of the designs in this issue too, namely the snow globes and the xmas mandalas

My latest cross stitch. More definition around the face needed I think.

I'm now doing a Henry the eighth one.

Love all the work on here.

I haven’t posted on here for ages but I’m still keen on the Christmas card exchange.

Waterlily24, welcome to the caf!, I love the detail in your project very regal, it's not a style I've ever stitched before

FOS, glad to see you posting again, I've managed to get the old caf! members to join us this year too so another 6 or so, should be a wonderful exchange this year, not that other years have been bad

Thanks for the welcome. Not sure I deserve it but I get frustrated that I can’t post photos on here from my iPad and these days that’s where all my photos of stitching are.
I’m so pleased your neighbours from hell have moved and I hope things improve for Coxy's DD
Sending and receiving cross stitched cards is one of the highlights of my Christmas. I have quite a collection, many of which I have framed or put into coasters etc so they are part of my Christmas decorating

where do you upload your photos to? i'll try and help you get them posted on here

I back them up on iCloud and I also post a lot on Instagram but I don’t use anything like Dropbox

I'm not on Instagram but from what I can see there is a share button, there you can click copy link and paste that here. It should link to the picture but I can't get it to display like my flickr ones.

Hi everyone,
I have news in that I've finished Pretty Little London - ta-dah!

Still have to collect my framed pieces. Unfortunately they don't take payments over the phone so I couldn't get my sister to collect. Will need to go down on a Saturday to pay in person. A bit annoying but there you go...
Next project will be Christmas related and of course need to start some cards for the exchange!
Great to 'see' you FoS xx
Waterlily - welcome! I love the design xx
Nmm - just seen the messages from you and that's fantastic news! Thanks so much for rallying support. I'll look forward to the details of those that want to take part. Would love to hook up with the old cafe members but I'm not on Faceache and feel really bitter about all social media tbh as it so evil and causes a lot of issues with our young people. Sorry if that's over dramatic but life events have made me this way
Have a good evening all
Coxy xx
