Re: I think this is quite old, but...

It really made me teary when I was reading it. I just love the Gorjuss girl even more now, and that buying it will in some way help Suzanne, as Mr.G said they were struggling for money. You can't help but feel a bit guilty. I saw the suitcases on the shop page were very inexpensive and look ideal fo...

Re: Any kits going spare?

Hi Zoe. Well I like stitching animals, or scenes. But I have done various things so far, mostly small. Not had the means to do big ones but definitely wanting to get going once I've got the stuff needed. I would be very happy at anything you could offer. xx

Re: New gallery.....Please comment.x

Thanks everyone. Well the little rabbits were the first 2 that my OH stitched, and the frame was a freebie with a mag, they were the perfect size so I popped them in. As we have no friends or family that we are in contact with, we have no one to share them with, so posting on here is my way of shari...

Re: Cross stitch magazines

I subscribe to World of Cross Stitch (woxs) Cross Stitch Crazy, and Cross Stitcher magazines. These were taken out for me by OH, I had no say in it (although I think he worked out it was cheaper to subscribe than pay £4 x3 every month. Plus you still get the free gifts and the subscriber only pages...

Re: listening to music/radio/TV while stitching?

Hi Amanda. Well, I like to have the tv on a music channel, again I don't have mp3's or ipod's etc, so its the tv for me. Also, it gives the eyes a break as you look up to see the screen every few minutes. I haven't tried stitching in silence (no such thing as silence here, my 2 dogs chase eachother ...

I don't participate in any group that allows copyright violations, so I left. T...
