Employee: Excuse me sir, may I talk to you? Boss: Sure, come on in. What can I do for you? Employee: Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years. Boss: Yes. Employee: I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four...

Hi peeps, I used to post here ages ago! I am destashing a bit. I still love cross-stitch, but I can't seem to finish anything and there are probably some peeps out there who would get a lot more enjoyment from these than me. I live in Canada and am willing to ship anywhere. I'm also willing...

I actually have a project I finished. Yea!! I hope to get it framed but I need it for Sunday so I might do it myself then take it next week. My son is an Eagle scout and his court of honor is Sunday and I made him a picture of the 2010 anniversary patch. I had to improvise since the chart I...

Would someone be kind enough to tell me where I can find the photo site? Thanks so much! Susan in BC

I'm so thrilled - I won 1st prize in my category for Mermaids of the Deep Blue by Mirabilia at the local Needlework Show. It can be seen in the photos at RCTN if anyone is interested in having a peek. Sharon (N.B.)

Okay, here's the deal, my bff and I are planning a trip around the US next summer after she retires. In addition to the usual sights, we want to stop at as many LNS, and beading, and quilting, and book shops as we can. I have a van and we plan to only take a minimum of clothing. What shops are...

Just finished the stitching on a new design - http://www.flickr.com/photos/liadains_fancies/5494005810/ This one was fun! :-D Liadain

A wife says to her husband "Could you go to the shop and get a carton of milk, if they have eggs get 6." He come home with 6 cartons of milk. Wife "Why have you got 6 cartons of milk?" Husband "They had eggs"

It is the prefect morning to sit and stitch. Trash is out, the laundry is caught up and frankly a heating pad is in order on my lower back.. And I have to wait for return calls BUT THERE IS NOTHING BUT CRAP on TV. Cheryl

I found a new stitch shop looking for My Big Toe scissors fobs and needles and what I found was a wonderful store called Stitches N Things. While I was looking around I found fiber grab bags and other grab bags deals on sale. I bought 2 fiber ones for 5 .00 each and WOW!!! Rainbow Gallery,...

OK - did anyone else look at the offering from Nashville - I used Hoffmans and Norden to look at them. ABC Stitch is just easier to use to link to them. I liked and hope to find at...

SP Ink's Herbal Essence - I do love the way this is coming out! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2084281&id=1168022855&l=ea0c297fe1 Cheryl

On a tip from the nice lady at Barnes and Noble, as I was picking up the latest issue of New Stitches, I went into "Savers". Savers is a thrift shop on a grand scale; this one happens to be in an old Circuit City building. I left a bunch of small kits and such there, but did come home with 5...

Well, the BIG HOCKEY weekend is over - the state championships. DD and her team came in third overall. They just didn't bring yesterday morning. I did stitch bit on my current WIP - Herbal Essence by SP Ink. Whom I have to contact as I not sure which color I'm supposed to back stitch with!...

Well, I don't know how, but I lost the chart to a kit I was 99% done on. It bookmark of hollyhocks and I was down to the backstitching. So I contacted the nice folks at Textile Heritage and while the kits was discontinued many years ago, they found it in their archives and mailed me a copy. Yes,...

I'm designing a wedding sampler in ndlpt. It will read Carolyn and Bob 6 -12 - 2011 (centered of course) I'd like to make the 'and' in smaller, different style letters, but

I still have my two purse projects: 1. need a second pair of eyes to look at my backstitching color - which is a good excuse to drive down and see Margaret! 2. The yellow Australian wild flower on yellow. I did a tiny bit of the back stitching and wow is it going to POP when it's done. At...

I put the first stitches in to Herbal Essence yesterday - I waffled on the fabric quite a bit. I had picked out a steel blue, but quickly realized that greens disappeared on it when stitched. The floss toss had looked good. I've ended up on a light blue lagauna. I'll snap a picture and post it...
