    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    I bought a xstitch because I have a white alsation I couldn't get a picture or ornament but found a xstitch that looks just like her. I opened it and promptly resealed it again, way too complicated considering I have ever done any stitching before. Anyway both your work is beautiful, would either of you consider a commission to do the stitching for me?

    If its on aida then yes I would do it, if its on evenweave then no thanks I hate the stuff lol

    What finished size is it and what count aida?? I'm assuming its a full kit with all materials but could be wrong.

    Give it a go tisme! It is not hard to cross stitch and you will be chuffed when you finish it. It could take for ever but that is no matter. Open the pack again and follow the instructions ie separate your threads and so on - start in the middle of the pic and off you go. Buy one of the cross stitch magazines there are simple and helpful tips and instructions in those or get a book from the library. Try something small and simple to build yer confidence. I am sure fellow stitchers on here would be willing to assist if you are stuck!

    I must get photies of stuff I've done as I travel around my friends and relations.........not actually kept much here for myself.....but I'll look out what I have.

    I'm not good at producing something without a finishing date.....so tend to do births, marriages, anniversaries etc for other people.........to ensure I get to the end of them before I go back to the dolls houses/furniture.

    Did anyone see the Cross Stitch category winner in the County Show? I didn't make it but my mum showed me her photos of the Industrial tent.
    Very much a 'Wow' factor in alot of the work, especially the quilling winner and the overall winner with the patchwork little girl quilt.
    What a lot of work went into all of them.
    Puts my little Paddington Bear cross stitch to shame!
    I am the sundance kid, coming to you with a groove and a positive
