Hello Cuddable and welcome. I hope you enjoy the forum - I'm sure you will.

It's supposed to be summer here in the UK, but I don't know where it's gone.

Don't know if you follow Wimbledon, but it's really suffered from the constant rain this year.

What are you stitching at the moment?

Hi and welcome aboard! I taught my son to stitch at about the same age, he was really good at it too, but then he discovered computers! Ah, well...

Welcome to the forum my fellow Melbournian!!!

I'm a western suburbs gal born and bred and I know what you mean with the weather. Freakin' cold today. Went to the shops and got drenched!

Wrap up warm, supposed to be a cold week...not to mention a colder winter but hey, we need the rain!

Welcome to the forum. So glad that you found us and that you have joined our wild and crazy group. We love to have new members join in and add to our appeal.

Now you 2 downunder stop bragging about the weather, I would trade you in an instant. We are having record breaking heat here and it is killing me. Can work when it is that hot. I hate it. Give me the cold....

Welcome from Canada. Glad you found us. I envy your weather. By the weekend our humidex is going to hit 39 C. Not very much fun.

Welcome from Oxford, New Zealand, where it is snowing right now and starting to settle on the formerly very wet ground.

Rose I prefer the summer as long as it is not too hot. I guess, as it is school holidays at present, I can stitch all I like!!

Allo! Glad you found the site, look forward to "seeing" you on here lots! I'm an aussie too, but a Queenslander, although I live bout 15miles N of London. I much prefer the colder weather, loathe the summer and hot weather!
