Hello naomi and welcome

I'm afraid cross stitching does rather take hold of you and there is lots to see on the internet

Sorry to hear of your health problems - cross stitching is good therapy.

Look forward to chatting more - do join in - we are a friendly bunch

Hello Naomi, welcome to the Forum.
There are links on this site to Ooodles of free cross stitch charts, all you will then need are the threads and fabric. (and a budget of course!)
I hope that you will be able to find something to stitch and you can post the results for everyone to see!

Come on in, we never bite Newbies!!

Welcome Naomi, I'm sorry to hear you suffer with ME, but hope that you find the stitching helps.
I'm fairly new to the forum too, and can confirm it's a great place for getting lots of help and support.
I hope you enjoy it here.
