Oh yes. The ice is not outside. It is inside. In my joints. I feel like they would be frozen. I am able to stitch, but I do it slowly. I do not know if the knitting marathon is to blame or my rheuma...but anyway. I am able to hold the needle in my hand so I let the stitching take me. Best: Pirjo

So what I'd really like to do is expand my mum's stitching horizons. I'd like to go to my LNS and pick out a truly scrumptious kit for my mom who stitches almost entirely on Aida. I have an idea of her taste, and what she'd really love to get, but I'm not sure what sort of reception it would get....

I wish I were a programer or knew someone who was. I just took a piece in to get an estimate on framing. It is going to be close to $120. That is probably the most I have ever spent to frame anything and almost half of that is in labor for designing the layout to cut the mat. I am...

Middle of the night, I heard someone hacking up a hairball. Once the sun came up, I could see that she hadn't done it on the dark green couch, she aimed it at a piece of my needlework. And it wasn't just a hairball, it had some lovely dyed-orange cat food in it. If the stain doesn't come out,...

Finally, after 5 months of blood, sweat and tears, here she is! http://www.obsidiana.org.uk/vulcan/scan.jpg http://www.obsidiana.org.uk/vulcan/inframe2.jpg The first one is a scan before I framed it, the second one a photo of the final framed piece. This is the first piece I have taken all the...

I've been putting some photos of my completed stitching on webshots. However, I've noticed that the quality of my photos doesn't come close to the quality of other stitchers' photos. I'm using a digital camera (AGFA ephoto 780). But my pics tend to come out dark and lacking in detail. Would I...

Looks like I caught it in time. I have a handheld, pulsating shower head, so I just stuck the scrolls in the bathtub and turned on the cold water full force. (Remember, the point is to push the stain back out the way it came, not to push it further into the fabric and out the other side.) There...

....I do not know...Well, maybe it is the best to start from this.... Congrats if you have finished a project. Welcome if you are new one. And I hope you enjoy it here. Just let the needle fly. And then.... Last Tuesday I was at work. Just eating normally. Then I

Hi folks, I'd like to get my wife some cross-stitch software for Christmas, to create charts from digital photos of the grandkids, dog, etc. Would appreciate any recommendations. She gets along with the computer pretty well, if that is helpful. Thanks,

Thirty years ago I enter the USNavy. I shared a cubical in the boot camp barracks with 5 others. One never graduated. After all this time I have found three of the other 4. And so over the course of two nights I have been in touch by phone with Carrie and Chris. Chris is a new grandmother as of...

I rarely buy kits only when I can't get the chart. I can only comment on products bought in the UK. My findings are that I run out of thread with Lanarte kits- which is especially annoying as they don't put the DMC numbers on and you have to stand outside in daylight to match them up. I know they...

Thanks to everyone on here who pointed out (long ago) the hot buys and free kits on http://www.janlynn.com . My order arrived today--YIPPEE! TW's "Noah's Ark Sampler" for $9 (!) plus the Marty Bell (MSRIP) adaptation "Wishing Well Garden" and "St. Frances" by Marie Barber. My bonus was the...
