Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Thank you all so much!! I haven't posted in quite a while but I'm always looking to see what everyone's up to. I've actually been doing a lot of stitching, just not a lot of time to take pics and get them posted. Hopefully, now that the holidays are over and things might actually slow down a little,...

Another really awesome Disney project! I'm getting a bit jealous - I may have to send you a couple of my Disney vacation pics and have you chart them for me!

I'm really interested in this too - sounds like a great thing to be a part of!

Well, I'm offering to be the poster child for how NOT to succeed at a stitch from stash challenge with a spending limit! I was already in the hole so much that I wasn't supposed to spend any money until August and then my favorite doctor announced he was retiring and I just had to stitch a gift for ...

Our favorite doctor, our eye doctor, retired this past month and we were invited to his retirement part this evening (super fun party, by the way!) and I really wanted to stitch a gift for him. Here's what I did: http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj238/groesser/IMG_7336.jpg It's a Lizzie Kate desig...

Thanks everyone! I have to say that, even though this wasn't my most favorite project to stitch, I really love the way it turned out. I really don't enjoy stitching on black, especially stitching on black with black floss, but I just couldn't turn down my little boys when they asked me for it. Now, ...

Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance!!! He's done done DONE!!! Lightening McQueen is finally finished and I never have to put another stitch in his ever luvin' self!!!

Can't wait to see your update!

Thanks for the lovely comments! The fabric is 25 count Lugana in Dresden Blue. The pictures are just a tiny bit more vivid than in real life (I found the "Vivid" setting on my camera and like the results better than the washed out colors I usually get with the camera.) I originally bought ...

I was getting a bit discouraged with the first HAED I started, 12 Dancing Princesses. So I decided to start another one I have that's completely different and see if I had any more luck with it...and I am!! http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj238/groesser/IMG_6998.jpg And what I've got so far: http...

Made quite a bit of progress on Balloon Glow...lots of sky and finally worked my way down to some houses! Still really enjoying this one!

Having been effectively humbled last month due to my crazy stash enhancement during vacation, I have NOT purchased anything this month yet . And that includes surviving the torture of attending stitch night at my LNS without making any further stash enhancements...the fabulous company is the ONLY th...

So sorry Rose, I wish I knew what to say to help. Hugs, prayers, and good thoughts to you and yours.

Looks like I'm the queen of the naughty corner this month!! Who knew getting trashed talked could be so much fun? :lol: I've never spent much of my life in the naughty corner but this is the best one I've ever been in! But I promise not to intentionally spend more money just so I can stay there. And...

Thanks everyone!! It really was a fantastic trip...there were a few moments when I thought maybe I'd just stay there and keep being irresponsible!

That's amazing!! Where do you get these patterns for the Colorado places you've stitched?

Great start! Sleeping Beauty is my favorite Disney princess...I really look forward to watching your progress!

Good grief!! I'm starting this challenge out with a real bang...went on vacation, found an LNS and proceeded to blow $123! Bring on the trash talk...apparently I have ZERO self-control, especially while on vacation. In the interest of full disclosure, here's what I got: http://i273.photobucket.com/a...

Happy Forumversary!! Here's to a year full of beautiful stitching!

Happiest of birthdays!!
