Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I never do. I certainly have active days.. I was skiing over the weekend, but I never go to a gym or do any sort of exercise routine.


When do you usually stitch? I generally grab my stitching in the evening, 8-9:00 and stitch until the news is done at 10:30.. or later if I need to finish my thread.

I generally try and stitch in the evening, but everyone seems to need me for something or other then of course, so the best time is when everyone else is in bed .... but of course, then I end up stayng up to 2am ish and am wrecked next day after getting up at 6.30am.

Which is your favourite season and why?

I love each of the new seasons as they arrive, as usually I'm bored of the one past so it's good to see the changes of the new one coming!! But overall if I had to pick one I think I'd go for autumn - it's my birthday, Halloween, Bonfire Night, I love everything about it, all seems exciting and cosy after the summer

Sunday. My husband usually lets me sleep in. The kids are happy because Daddy lets them watch the non pbs kids shows like Spongebob and we all get to by lazy and snuggly all morning.

What is your favorite song ever and why?

What part of your job do you hate the most (if any??!!) With me it's the questionnaires, I get loads of refusals for every 'yes', and I'm not even asking complicated or personal stuff!

Louise

The fact that people want you to hurry, hurry, hurry and get their stuff back to them but take sometimes as long as 2 months to pay their bill. Geez guys you want us to hurry but you can't even pay the bill when it is sent to you. Guess what we have bills to pay also. and your parts to buy so we can hurry up and fix the stupid motor.
