Re: Off topic: turned away by dating agency because I stitch.

Ugh, what a nasty attitude for her to have and a down right stupid way to do business! You are a prospective client! Its not like SHE has to date you, what the hell. So apparently she presumes to know what the entire male race finds attractive and interesting.

Whether its her cup of tea or not ...

Hello All! (again) Please help.

Hello fellow stitchers!

I first came around her 5 or 6 months ago when I was put on bedrest while pregnant with my first little one. As you can guess he's arrived and I haven't been able to pick up my stitching since! But I am really itching to get back into it! We had a bit of an unexpected sudden ...

Re: My cat is very sickly

I am glad to hear that both you and kitty are doing much better! :applesauce:

That really is atrocious what some people will do to animals. Do you know who did it? Did the vet agree that it looked like someone had stabbed her as opposed to a cat fight or something (though I have never seen a cat ...

Re: Been gone a few days (Now with PICS)

Hmmmm.....

I want one!! I can see getting used to two handed stitching being an adjustment after doing it one handed for so long! Its hard for me to imagine the ease of two handed stitching!

And I have never seen a stand that looks so sturdy yet flexible and easy to use. My mom had one a long time ...

Re: Has the Postperson brought you anything fun 2010!!!!

Pengwenn I LOVE the Heinzeit patterns. My mom happened upon them a couple of years ago and has been making them for everything she can think of! I have a "NURSE" on, a "GRADUATE" one from university graduation and a "WEDDING" one from when we got married. The charms are always so neat! Both the ...

Re: Darling Baby Pilot jacket

She usually does about one or two blankets a year for friends acquaintances and family that have new babies. And then she also makes a cross-stitch Christmas stocking for all of the new family babies. The baby arrivals have slowed down the past 2 years because my brother and I are the youngest of ...

Ahhh, if only I could be a cat. I think I could do a rather good job at it!

Right now my two girls have really been enjoying all the new furniture we bought for them (its for the baby). The most coveted is the changing table, I bought a minky cover for it which is SUPER soft, so I don't blame them ...

Begining a Thread Stash- sorry!

I have to apologize for such a hopelessly novice questions but I have searched all over the forums and the rest of the internets and I am just getting more and more overwhelmed and confused! Plus you ladies (and a few gents) are so kind!

So far I have only worked from kits, but I have a few ...

Re: Kit or No Kit....what is your preference

Since I am pretty new to cross-stitch I have only done kits. I don't think I could design my own at this time, and I liked that the kits had every thing I needed to complete the project. Since starting though I have changed colors and fabrics or made modifications from kits. I don't have much stash ...

Darling Baby Pilot jacket

I am not much of a knitter, I can cast on, knit, purl, cast off, that's about it. So basically I can make a scarf, lol.

My mom not only being an expert at Cross-stitch has an uncanny knack for crochet, and she found this somewhere on the internet and said "Can I make this for you? Pretty please ...

Okay, this is a really stupid question, but how do you use it?

Re: Will double-sided tape be strong enough?

I have some cross stitched magnets that my mother in law gave me, she didn't make them, so I don't know how they were made, but they are finished with a stitch around the edge with the intentional fraying, they had a felt backing but they were stiff as if there was a piece of heavy cardstock in ...

Re: Had to do it

What a sweet kitty!

My hubby does the same thing with forums, it must be a "man" thing to do. They aren't chatters I guess! I always chat on my forums, and I try to make shorter posts because no one likes to read the lengthy ones, but mine ALWAYS end up lengthy! I just can't shut up!
