Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Thank you everyone! I have a small update today, and I'm really excited!! I got the September issue of cross stitch crazy in the mail on Tuesday, and I when I saw the postcard free kit I knew I had to stitch it up straight away... and try to be 'first past the post', and featured in their magazine! ...

I'm officially done with college! Took my last A level exam (Sociology paper 3: Crime and Deviance!), so now I am free to cross stitch guilt-free! I am determined to get this wolf finished before the summer is out! I'm also hoping to start (and finish!) the Mermaid I wanted to do back in November I ...

I'm much past loosing teeth, and yet I want one of those teeth pillows! I'll have blue with a penguin thank you
I'm loving the stain-glass Zelda and also the penguin stocking! I'm a big fan of penguins
Looking forward to seeing them finished!

What a cutie! And what a great start!

Thank you all for your kind words! Ajay, I'm pretty sure you still get the chart inside the magazine, so you could still give it a go if you feel like it :D The rainbow fish kit came with a card to pop him in, I ended up cutting the window a bit bigger (I tried my best but it came out a bit iffy... ...

Thought it was about time I did an update! I've been so ridiculously busy but finally I had time to stitch! I've done a bit on Mr Wolf; I'm hoping and praying to have him finished by Christmas this year. I think once my exams are over and I have the whole summer I should be able to get it done! http...

Thank you everyone, and Sally I hope you feel well enough to finish the kitten as he's just so. gosh. darn. CUTE! Here's my little guy finished, except for backstitching: https://i.imgur.com/JNIalxC.jpg?1 I wanted to have it finished yesterday, but hey ho, this is where we're at tonight :D I never r...

Thanks everyone! I haven't been able to do any stitching in a while *cries* life and everything just decided to um, give up on me :roll: But yesterday I sat down and started my Christmas stitching! I got this Christmas Kitten back in October, and after waiting to get some threads I decided to go for...

That is a gorgeous design!

My biggest confession is that sometimes I stay up till 2 or 3 am stitching! - I don't really care about the back either... it seems not many people do! As long as it's not knotty I don't care :lol: - I don't ALWAYS but the right colours in the right places... especially not on big pieces. if I stitc...

Thank you both very much! I thought I'd get a lot done this half term but of course it didn't end up that way! Monday I ended up sleeping in for half of the day since I was just so exhausted after the weekend, Wednesday I went into town with my ma since she wanted a dress for Christmas (Her third pa...

I love oriental designs, especially geisha and samurai :) I didn't even know they did a petite collection, I have the Elegance of the Orient and the Mighty Samurai which are from the Gold Collection but now I've seen these I'm thinking I could do all four and have the all framed on my wall :D It loo...

Thank you everyone :) It's so nice to have a week to relax after college stress! Although, I did a mock test for my Sociology and I got an A in it! So pleased for myself! And on the topic of being pleased, I finished the first square! https://i.imgur.com/m1TCtCz.jpg?2 He's looking alive now he has a...

Speak of the sun and it shall shine! Literally the day after I last posted saying I would wait until my threads arrived... and they did! https://i.imgur.com/1js1xCd.jpg?1 And here's where I'm up to with my wolfie: https://i.imgur.com/GETVicA.jpg?1 I'm kinda hoping to have the wolfie done by Christma...

For facebook I'm pretty sure you just need to make the image 'public' (so we can all see!) and then copy and paste the url like normal

Thank you all for your kind comments! I got another bunch of threads in the post - not the ones for my wolf sadly - but ones to make a custom photo pattern of a tank for the boyfriend :) He's very much into tanks, and he sent me a photo and said 'If I buy you the supplies, would you make it?' so I n...

My mam always said we were brought by storks (I'm from England) We all had stork marks as well when we were babies, which are birthmarks that usually fade over time! Gorgeous cross stitches, it's really nice I think for children to have precious things they can keep forever

This looks adorable! I love wolves, and this is gorgeous! I like to use Imgur for my photos, and you can edit the size right on the site so they fit webpages

This is gorgeous, I love the blues!

Thank you for all your replies :D I'm glad I'm not the only person who feels like things are slow sometimes! I keep flapping between working on blocks and working on each colour at a time... It dosen't help I am missing a few skeins for this pattern! I hope they arrive soon so I can fill in some of ...
