Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Karen sent a stitched card, two scissors fobs/ornaments, and a post card direct to Matt. He loved the post card Karen and was really appreciative (also a bit shy which was real cute). Matt, his family, and I are very grateful for everything you have done to help. Your stitching and finishing are per...

Matt is doing extremely well! He is all healed up! If you did not know he had been so badly burned, you wouldn't know it by looking at him. There is only minor scarring near his hairline and a bit on his ears. Those skin grafts they did for him work just as wonderfully as they said they would! So fa...

It turned out beautifully! Well done!

Welcome back! :hug: I am so sorry to hear everything you have been dealing with this year. I am glad to hear that your cancer is gone :applesauce: and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that it never returns! I will keep your son in my thoughts and prayers also that he continues to recover a...

Congrats on getting some fantastic deals! It never hurts to pick things up for Christmas when you find them at such a great price, it will make the holidays less stressful.

I am glad you and your family are okay! Congrats on getting your power back so quickly. I will keep you, your family, and your area in my thoughts and prayers. Tornadoes terrify me! Specially after we had one in our back yard during Hurricane Ivan a few years ago and we never heard it! It took down ...

Sarah, I will keep your father in my thoughts and prayers! I hope he continues to recover and that it goes quickly and well!

I store my floss on plastic bobbins and the bobbins in plastic cases in numerical order. I have a full set of DMC and half a set of Anchor. My backup floss (extra skeins) are stored in ziploc freezer bags grouped by hundreds (300's, 400's, etc.) making it easy for me to find a skein when I run out o...

Ohh that stinks!

If you know the name of the design you can try ONS's from overseas to see if they have it and will ship to where you are. http://www.sewandso.co.uk" target="_blank is a great store and they ship to the US.

I hope it helps

Technically selling an item that contains a cross stitch that someone else designed is a violation of copyright. The designer retains all rights to how that design is used and in what manners copies of that design can be used. However, most designers don't worry about someone selling 1 or 2 items wi...

There was supposed to be a second round of craft items, but I am not sure this will be necessary. I will speak with Ricky and ask him about it and see how they are doing money wise. I know the 3K from the yard sale, and almost 2K from the paypal thing and local collection jars helped them alot and i...

Happy Birthday Dawn!!

Excellent work! It looks fantastic and I agree that backstitching can make a major difference in projects.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! What wonderful news!

Until my DH's recent heart attacks, we smoked so I never left my floss "out". All projects are stored in plastic zip loc bags while in progress and when complete, all floss is either in zip locs (in a drawer) or on bobbins in plastic cases. I thought the plastic cases would be enough, but ...

Ohhh how wonderful!!! Congratulations!!!


Raven

Good luck with your move, I hope it goes smoothly!

Thank you all very much, I appreciate it

I, too, am hoping the increased pain isn't my new normal. We'll see I guess. Thank you for the well wishes and prayers, I appreciate it and my DH says "Thank you" also.

Agi, please do not feel bad for sending me a PM, I completely understand it and you certainly weren't rude or anything. Thank you for the well wishes for my DH. It was terrifying and I was so scared. But I am glad and grateful that he is ok. :) I was expecting the yard sale to increase my pain, but ...

Welcome to the forum! We have a few gentlemen that stitch and post on here, so you are definitely not alone!
