Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I’m not around much, but I got the message and deleted that post. The poster was an old member whose last post was back in 2015. I didn’t recognize the name. Thank you for reporting it Mabel. I have a lot of catching up to do. Hope when I make it back y’all will let me in.

Despite my being an awol moderator and stitcher, I was very concerned when I saw Serinde's email about the forum being down. I quickly went to donate to Alex because awol doesn't mean I am not here, it means I haven't started stitching. Anyway, I'll type a more apologetic post. But the forum means a ...

Happy New Year and apologies that I have been so neglectful of keeping y'all up to date on me as well as not checking with y'all. Its just been kind of crazy. My sister is here and will be leaving tomorrow and we just had lots of activities. I haven't started stitching yet and I think I didn't want ...

Getting close to the finish line!!!

Beautiful!

We had a lovely Christmas Eve. We started having the kids and then them with their kids years ago. Left everyone free to go see everyone else or not on Christmas Day. It was also (selfishly) fun because when we got to opening presents, the children had not yet been overwhelmed by presents and by ...

My plan is to spend New year's Eve and much of the day (we might go to a movie New Year's Day) on that poor lost forgotten Star Wars afghan. It's been on the table next to me since I last put it down.

Me too. And having had a fair amount of experience with TW designs, I am awestruck.

I would have put a big row of love smileys bit smilies and some avatars are t showing up on my iPad. Don’t know if these will show up either but what beautiful grand dogs !

Merry Christmas to all

And thank you Serinde for the message from Lyudmila who has been in my thoughts lately. Hearing from her is a great Christmas gift!

Carole

Thank you everyone. I've gotten past the worst part which wasn't bad at all. One drop 3 times a day the first week, then twice for the second week and once a day the third. A plastic cover over the eye at bedtime. Uncomfortable but that's over now.

Carole

Eye is getting better every day. Weird getting used to. Haven't picked up the stitching yet (I think I'm afraid a little bit), but hope next week when things are a bit less hectic I will return to the afghan.. I'm getting of some of the puzzles/games I play on iPad.

Richard: (and paws crossed) and that all goes well with your MIL and that you are all able to have a safe and healthy and Happy Christmas!

rhymes

For us the rhyme was not so nice.

Step on a crack, break your mother's back
I don't remember there rest of it but I think it was all pretty nasty.

I am so sorry, Serinde, that I have been AWOL from my share of the moderators duties as in dealing with all those crazy notifications you have had. I hope the holiday onslaught is over but I will be checking back more regularly. Daily for sure. I've not been at the computer much, so I've been using ...

Happy Belated Birthday, Richard! Wishing you many many more happy birthdays!

Hope you are feeling better and getting some time off to celebrate your special day!

I have been pampering myself. the result is Cataract Surgery is a miracle. The biggest change is that I have to wear reading glasses instead of my progressive (bifocal) glasses and my right eye is no longer blind. It is very strange. I have worn glasses since I was 13 and as I told some friends if I ...
