Been a long time

Post by pixxie »

Hi all

I just wanted to say hi and that after 6 long years I am getting back into cross stitching :D
I'm slowly building back up my stash and resisting the temptation to buy everything I see! I hope everyone is staying safe

:wave: :wave: Welcome back! It is great to hear from you again. And glad to hear that you are getting back into stitching. And glad that you remembered us. No promises that we won't encourage any desire on your part to increase your stash as you rebuild it. If you remember we are terrible enablers for that. What have you started working on? Looking forward to seeing you're updates!

Hi Squirrel, I made the mistake of looking on both eBay and Amazon, too many amazing things!! for now I intend to subscribe to a couple of cross stitch magazines and go from there.

it is good to be back though, I didn't realise how much i missed this site!

You most certainly did the picture right and have made a great start on your stash procurements! The only problem I would have is deciding which one to start on first!

rcperryls, I've been a very naughty Stitcher :oops: when I tied my cupboard up I found a almost finished Dimensions Gold Petit Collection Tiger Cub stuffed at the back. I've currently got it soaking in warm water and Vanish to clean it up and start with that one I think. picture to follow once its dry

I did that recently in an effort to get it a bit tidier. A big mistake. Me thinks I will be shedding a few kits before too long.
