Hey all,
another aussie stitching addict here . Was introduced to the wonderful world of stitching by my now future sister in law about a year ago and loved it since. Have way too many kits and projects and not enough time - starting 3rd year of uni in a week so not much time to stitch. Hope to get to know you guys it seems like a great friendly forum here
Hey there Mara! Good to meet you. ^_^ And don't worry I think you'll find almost everyone here is in the same boat, too many projects not enough time/lifetimes to finish them all ^_^
It's a wonderful forum here and I hope you make some new friends here.
Hello and welcome, I'm sure you'll love it here.
Hopefully you can share you WIP's with us and maybe even show us some of your completed work as well.
I love browsing the gallery and seeing all the wonderful projects people have done.
Have fun!
There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE! Forget love! I'd rather fall in CHOCOLATE!

Hello Mara Welcome to the forum. It is great to have a newbie with a passion for stitching. We have a number of members that are juggling education and stitching. You will find time to do both, probably not as much as you would like but unless you can stitch all day there is never enough time. Hope to see you soon.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
And yes very eager whiskers12 started me off showing the basic stitches i then bought a cheap teddy bear kit (blue and pink holding hands and balloons) loved stitching it 4 mum and now i think i have around 15 things to stitch and have completed about 4-6 . Ill post pics of completed or WIP ones as soon as can borrow dads cam...its great to see every1 else's work..get the urge to buy even more kits lol.
Glad to hear im not the only one with 2 many kits! My dad will be banning me from ebay soon i think...
Looking forward to hearing/seeing what everyone else is up to
hehe I know that feeling. There's some awesome work on this forum. I love looking at everyones work. Do what I did with ebay...forget your login details. ^_^ At least just until you run low on kits and son't let this lot introduce you to sites you can order from based solely around stitching >_> *looks at her vast multitude of supplies from sewandso* It can be lethal to the wallet!

I know..found a great stitching store on Ebay Caryn and Richards or something like that and ordered think about 7 kits...dad wasnt happy til showed him how much each kit is sold for normally
They are really great - great range there are just under 2000 Xstitch Kits and they have all different types animals, landscape, xmas, baby, wedding etc. and also great prices - at least for me, most of the kits that i bought b/w 15-25 USD are around $60 + each from stores.
and if interested these are some of kits that we bought and hopefully will post pics of progress when get started
My parents are xmas crazy - and to a lesser extent so am i ...These are some cute xmas tree ornaments, 6 Teddy Bears that we have bought to stitch together (she does b/stitch now)
