Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi!

Yes, I could try. The charity shop seems to be the best option. Just thought if someone here (or in other forums) wanted them, that's the fastest way.

Serinde, would you like them? I really can't use them and don't know what to do with them...

Hi there! Is anyone interested in these x-stitch pattern booklets? One is about geese, owls, spring/Easter, family holidays, banners with sayings/proverbs and two about teddy bears. I don't need them anymore and maybe someone likes them. I can give them away for free or if you have something to swap...

It's very different! I'd like it, too!

Aaaaand when will my curiosity be quenched?

OK, I'm here and ready!! What is the plan?

How much time will we have after Halloween to prepare our creative fun thing? Because I have exams in November, but would love to become creative after that. Or maybe even before that to take my mind off things...

Alright! Sorry, I was just eager for feedback. But let's see what others come up with.
What we could also do: we don't purchase a SAL as a gift, that is actually a SAL, but "feed" the stashmas exchange member with parts of a PDF pattern that we've chosen for them.

Does anyone like my collective pattern design idea? It's ok if you say "no"

About the potal issues: I can only speak for Germany. Here it's all ok. Not problems (anymore). BUT I have no idea about the US. Only whoever lives there can tell. How is it? Is it really that bad? (All I know is from the news) Then again, there might be other problems, not of things getting lost or...

It also depends on who is going to participate and what their interests are... e.g. just something I have in mind, but it's probably too ambitious.. here it comes: if everyone who participates would like to try and draw a design, why not create a pattern for a tablerunner with blackword squares. Lik...

Hey! I'd like to participate, too! Is it decided that we won't post anything by mail?

We could also do a stitch-along by pdf... could we?

I'm ok with giving out my private e-mail address, you seem like very trustworthy people

Good that it has the same effect on you! Well, I'm glad he's still small enough to cuddle up with mommy on the cozy sofa, one day that will be over... time for a solid chair then! I enjoy every minute of our common hobby.

Hey Sojourner! Ah, it's always the same. As soon as people see something unsual and they maybe can't place it, they have all kinds of thoughts. My boy is a pretty regular rascal otherwise as well, that's why I'm actually glad when he takes a time out from shouting, jumping and doing mischief and sit...

Kuschelschaf, I'm glad you liked my little selection! I thought and hoped that from what I know of you, these things are a match. Glad I got it right. Yes, Hachez chocolate is extra yum! It's like Lindt, kind of. I can devour it, too. What I think is a bonus of Stashmas: I wouldn't have gotten mysel...

My original pic is the right way around, I have no idea why the photo comes out like this.... ?? We all seem to have a similar problem.
You have to tilt your head 90 degrees to the right. You can do that, ok?

Now I can post a photo!

Here are the goodies:

Good morning and Merry Stashmas to you! It's 10 a.m. here on a Sunday morning and I've just opened my Stashmas present. Debbie, it's gorgeous. To think it's right from Colorado and travelled all the way to be here this morning, that's ultra cool! I have to take pictures and post them a little later,...

It's hard, but I will!

That's why I thought, it's safe to make just a very tiny cut with a scissor - to see if I can detect wrapping paper or not. That way, it wouldn't have spoiled the fun if the gift wasn't wrapped. I'd have seen nothing of what it's actually like. But there was this red Christmassy glow of wrapping pap...
