How is everyone going?

Posted by ladyfrou on August 12, 2009

Hi all,

How are we all going with our Mary’s?

Will admit I’ve neglected Mary shamefully the last few weeks.   Am busy at work and tired by the end of the day, so find counting cross stitch to exhausting.   What little cross stitch I am doing is a simple one colour design from The Gift of Stitching – South Seas Lace.

But mostly I am doing a lot of stitchery – good old back stitch and just following the lines.

What about everyone else?

    Hiya Frou, I’m just sitting here poking around the net because work has worn me ragged the last few days too. I’m to tired to stitch ! I have done more and am pleased with how Mary is looking and I do wanna stitch, but when I finally get to sit down, I’m to brain dead ! Also, my sweetheart and I are trying to conceive so I must admit I’m obsessing on the two week wait instead of stitching.

    I too haven’t let Mary see the light of day yet!! I’ve been knitting a scarf for a friend … so I haven’t done anything else lately!! Maybe over the weekend she might get a look in!!

    i just found you by accident as i look over every c,m. of Jacqueline site. I am from Tasmania.
    I am very new to this even though i crossed stitch for years.
    But recently i had a yearning to do some old samplers and did not know where to start. This week this site came from no where
    when i was looking for embroidery books. Its amazing the best site i have ever seen.
    Can i ask a question, I am using Lugana but wish i could use
    belfast linen in a small count, it seems that the lugana is all my eyes can adjust to.
