Happy, happy! Threadbear, we miss you!

Oh, I got so glad for a minute thinking that Threadbear has returned. Has anyone heard of her?

I feel your pain Wendy. I had to do the same when my mum died and it was hard and painful. She lived in that house for 30 years. But the thing is, if you ask my daughter she is not going to say nice things about me either. :oops: When I moved to Sweden, I had a week to pack my things so I had to ask...

Oh, wow, Serinde, that card is gorgeous! I am sure they will cherish it.

Oh, wow, this is so beautiful!

Oh, Serinde, did I mention that I did a one week intensive tapestry-weaving course last summer? Haven't done it since then, but loved it. And it is on my to do list. I am enrolled in an art quilt group since September, so I am hoping to develop my artistic side there - although I am not entirely hap...

Sorry I am late! Belated good wishes!

Happy birthday!

Can you see it now? The problem is, when I post, I can see it and have no idea if others can see it or not.

Oh, shooot, this is what happens when I don't post often - forgot which link to copy in the post. I will go and try to fix it Sorry

Hi, this is the first thing I stitched after almost half a year. I was tired and stressed and needed to relax - and cross stitch came to the rescue. I looked through my magazines and found this small Mary Hickmott design. There is another one to go with it, perhaps I will stitch that one too. https:...

Wishing you the best of health.

Happy New Year! My 2017 was not very good, although my health is much better than a year ago, but my Stephen has had a tough time, and it does not look much better for the next year either. Work was not so good either but there is hope it will be better from now on. Well, there is not much to do jus...

I have come to join you too, what a wild party, huh? It is bean soup and rice cake on the menu here, I brought you some too. Hungarian folk tradition says that everything that is lots of small things - beans, lentils, poppy seed etc - will bring you luck in the new year. Will bring you as many coins...

Merry Christmas, Serinde! Love the owls.

Merry Christmas everyone! In Sweden we celebrate today on Christmas Eve - it starts around 1 pm with lunch and then the obligatory Donald Duck and friends - a Disney short film collection on TV at 3 pm. The same films every year. The whole Sweden sits down to watch it. :D We are just the two of us w...

It is not only Mr XStitch's designs, he is the editor and brought together lots of great designers. There is lots of modern stuff, some craftivist-like patterns, some subversive style, but all in all really interesting. I am actually thinking of stitching a few small things from them. But I also fee...

I have just received the second number of Mr. Xstitch's magazine. I love it, so modern, so different. And has lots of variety. I have not been cross stitching a lot lately but this has definitely nudged me into picking it up again. Anyone else has seen it? I have actually signed up when he was start...

Oh, Wendy, what an ordeal! I hope everything is settled soon. Take care of yourself in the meantime! You need your strength. Here is something to help.

Am I this late with my good wishes?? I am so sorry... Anyway, so glad you are here 11 years OMG!
