Welcome from Oregon - this is a great group!

Thank you everyone! i've just been strolling around tonight taking a look. its nice to find others who love cross stitching too bc most people look at me like im crazy when i mention that i do it! LOL

Welcome! I'm fairly new to cross stitching but this has been an awesome place so far....though it has made me more addicted to this.

Welcome from Canada!

Hi and welcome to the forum!

having to go shopping was just awful!

i ended up spending way more than i should have though. ha. have any of you ever heard of CrossStitcher? its a magazine from the UK for cross stitch enthusiasts and its full of such amazingly good ideas. well i found it and now im addicted! i also wish i lived in the UK, since some of the items for sale in the magazine you cant get here in the states. boo.

to the person from Australia~ im SUPER jealous. i've wanted to vist/live/never leave Australia since i was a little girl. one day i will get there. i know it.

awww thank you. i like to make things and after my house started to become over run with things i decided i needed to get rid of them somehow! LOL

im starting on a new cross stitch today which is a custom order for a friend. here is a link... http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemd ... em=07-2573" target="_blank

her husband is military and she asked for a custom military ornament. i found this and thought it would be adorable! i cant wait to get started on it. i better hurry though, Christmas is right around the corner! EEK!

I like your new project - it should be very well received by your friends.

As for wanting to live in Aussie, well I never did but as all my 5 'kids' plus their partners live here I decided it was time to move from Christchurch NZ.
You wouldn't like it much at the moment - a few days in the low 30's and very humid down here in Melbourne then tropical downpours followed by cold southerly winds and rain from the southern ocean. In other words all seasons in 1 week and the cycle keeps repeating.

Still it is a huge diverse country and my family are here and thats the main thing.
