Cross Stitch Cafe - stitching out of 2012 and into 2013...

Got my Christmas Stitch finished!! :j

It's the Faye Whittaker one from CSC - I changed it a smidge - made the little girls hair longer and straighter so it looks more like DD and I changed the shoes from red to blue (Red shoes with a blue and white dress? C'mon!) :rotfl:

I need to find a red frame to put it in now

Have read all three of The Hunger Games and watched it on Thursday night, it was a very good read and an even better film.

Hubby and I saw it on hols in April, I got the 3 books on the kindle and LOVED them, then DS1 read them all as well. Bought the books for my neice's birthday (after my sister had a little panic about her being too young lol) and the DVD for us - we watched it tonight, it's a really good film. Not as detailed as the book but films never can be, but at least it stayed pretty close

I love reading the book and then watching the film to see if what I pictured the people like is what they are really like...Haven't heard of One Day, what is it about.

One Day follows the lives of Emma and Dexter. They meet on their graduation night. The film (and book) then revisit them every year on the 15th July and we catch up to see what they are both up to. I would recommend watching it but make sure you have a box of tissues nearby because I didn't even get to the end and I was crying!

Ok so its the battle of the shops v the cross stitch today!

Flippin 'eck I go AWOL for a few days and you fill up the 2012 thread and start a shiny new one without me:p

Still got loads to catch up on but first of all I wanted to post quickly that I have one spare complimentary ticket for the ICHF Creative Stitches and Hobbycraft Show at Event City (ner the Trafford Centre) in MANCHESTER linky to the details Ticket is valid any day (Thurs to Sat). I'm going with a gang of stitching and crafting buddies and one person has had to drop out at the last minute. No one else we know who both wants to and can go needs the ticket. So if anyone would like it PM me your address and I'll post it to you.

If you only like cross stitch there may not be enough for you though Black Sheep, Craft Lines and Trudy Anne are exhibiting and between them will have a good selection of kits and patterns. But for anyone like me who also does other crafts it is a good day out. I like to do at least 1 workshop and I'm hoping to be able to try a Sissiz machine for die cutting fabric pieces for applique as there is usually at least one stand with these on sale.

So hope someone can use it - first come first served of course:)

Just managed to get 2 loads of washing out to dry and number 3 is in the machine so hoping to do a bit of stitching in the sunlight. I will post some updates but the Paralympics have been getting in the way of my stitching - can only stitch during the interviews and the ad breaks (mind you there are loads of those:eek:). Have a happy stitchy Sunday everyone.
