Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

So I'm making up my Christmas wish list so my friends have stuff to pick from to get me since they all know how much cross stitch has helped keep me out of the hospital and helped my mental health so much....anyway i keep running across these adorable beaded kits, and they are so cute, but I'm ...

Another update today!

I couldn't stand looking at her sad little blank face so I did the back stitching on her eyes and now the design is half done!

it is 14 by 18 inches, so not sure what else i would do with it exactly but maybe others can help me find ideas for finishing it

I'm really sad at the moment because I've just realized that I probably won't ever be able to afford to frame any of the things I've made because I have no left over money at the end of each month, and I've gotten so lucky that people have sent me stuff and all of that and I have a friend here who ...

ahhhh your kitty is so fluffy and cute i want one! hehehe

I think I got lost in this site--my wishlist has over 100 items in it now--is this normal? hahaha

Ohh!! I have only been to like Joann's and muchaels and I just cry cuz i can't afford any of their stuff and have to go on what is bought for me which is sad but maybe I can convince my friend to take ...

A friend of mine here has said she wants to buy me a really nice chart for Christmas, her grandmother cross stitched a lot when she was alive and she say she loves watching me do it because it reminds her of her and she wants to buy me something REALLY nice--she keeps stressing this.

When I try to ...

ooooo a local!!

This is totally not typical to me, getting used to it I guess! But my first instinct is probably always going to be to want to stay inside when it snows however I'm starting to see if I do that I won't ever get out all winter haha

What would be even more lovely is if people would stop interrupting me today to ask how i'm dealing with the snow--i need a "do not disturb--stitching" sign hahaha

So we're supposed to get a foot of snow, and yet I had 2 appointments to go to today--in Georgia where I grew up--these appointments would've been canceled haha everything would've shut down but no people in Minnesota are crazy, so I canceled them myself, they can happen another day, today I want to ...

Oh that is so pretty, my birthday is in February so it made me smile to see that!

What kind of scissors do you all use? See I'm brand new to this and don't really have money for them right now but my roommate was picking on me because currently all I have to use are nail clippers to cut my thread, not very nice but hey it works for now I suppose. Should I save up for some really ...

Ahhhh I hadn't thought about this happening and I'm all sad suddenly, my needle has just about had it....I don't know if I just sweat too much while holding it or what but all the coating on it is like gone and its making irritating scraping noises when it goes through the fabric and it's the only ...

Nope no beads in this one just all stitched!

change

I seem to be discovering that my body can make way too much snot, I don't know where it's all coming from but arghhh!! I just want to sit here and stitch and not have to keep stopping to blow my nose!! *whines more*

I seem to have acquired a really nasty cold so I think I'm going to check in here and whine for a bit about my runny nose and sore throat

Another update

oh that is so absolutely beautiful and amazing wow!!

oh! that's an excellent idea, i've never used freecycle but i'm going to check it out now, i live in a really big city so should be lots of offers of things i hope!!
