Cross Stitch and Craft Cafe 2022

Hi All
Do you have room for another cross stitch friend? I am currently working my way through a pack of Snowmen christmas cards to get them ready and out the way for Christmas gifts and then I have two other small cross stitches to do. 
I also brought a Round Knitting Loom Kit that Im hoping to try and get to grips with at some point after I failed miserably at crochet. 
I also have a daffodil table cloth upstairs to finish too but I have somehow lost the instructions for but it is printed so Im hoping I can figure it out. 
Loving seeing all the projects so far!

Love it. 
Im determined to get through my little christmas card ones first before I start looking at a new kit but I will be making sure to invest in a cross stitch hoop. I had a plastic one but I prefer the feel of a wooden one. 

@Coxy11 I am trying my best to make a start on Christmas bits and pieces now because with the cost of living going up I need to keep myself busy and not stress plus its a nice energy free hobby! All I need is my little light which is a charge once and I can use it for ages without electric and a cup of tea!

Afternoon all and welcome sammy-Kaye18. Really cheered to see all your updates. Feeling pretty groggy at the moment, day 3 of testing positive for COVID. So glad to have been vaccinated three times as it’s knocked me off my feet. A lot of family stuff going on too in the depths of mid-Norfolk. 

Busiest time of year for me too so I was possibly more susceptible. So not too much stitching done but here’s where I’m up to with the How does Your Garden Grow stitch along. Part 5 nearly done, two more carrots and a pair of wellies & I’ve now received part 6. Think I’ve done the fence and the lily pond since my last post. I went for a darker blue for the pond, felt it had more depth and balanced the dungarees on the other side. I might turn it into a tote bag, I have one cut out in blue needle cord somewhere and a pattern my mum bought me years ago. I’ll have a looksie. Anyways enough screen time. Hope you enjoyed the Sewing Bee final!

Hi hi all, lovely progress Nmm. Urgh not so keen on the jellyfish-not sure what their purpose is! Hope it was cool on the marina. Phew it’s been scorching here. 

Anyway making headway and back at work a few days post-covid. Just made a couple of cards and bit more stitching on the SAL which will photo tomorrow. First was for a friend’s birthday.

This one for grand daughter’s 4th birthday at the weekend. Hope she loves it. 

All from scraps and stash and patterns on P**ntrۤt.
