I got this off 123. Free patterns at twinpeakprimitives.com/product-page/old-arc

Has anyone looked at the artecy pattern “Beside the Brook”? I am thinking of doing the large one . But I don’t know how many years it will take. My daughter says I should do what makes me happy as she doesn’t want any more gifts of xstitch. I have read mentions of confetti on this chat…….are these trees what you are talking about?

Today is ………… SUNDAY

It's not cross-stitch, but I know all of you can relate. I carefully considered the tools I would need for my next project and finally placed my order last night. I want it NOW! I cannot stand waiting for a box of treasures. My most recent embroidery which is destined to become a pillow sits on my table mocking me. I'm completely stuck in neutral until I get my new quilting rulers. The log cabin quilt pattern is my go-to pattern. I found a book filled with variations on the log cabin pattern! Yay! It's in the box though. The box that is not here. The box that probably won't get here until Sunday or Monday. And the tax deadline is fast approaching, so being a tax preparer, I'm going to be really busy in a couple of weeks. What a waste of a free Saturday! My mind is so focused on that pillow project and the dog bandana project that I don't know what else to do with myself. I'm also waiting for the box with my bandana templates to arrive sometime next week. I'm so frustrated! What do you do when you're itching to start a new project but can't and don't want to start something else that will be abandoned shortly when the new project arrives?

Does the price of $27.?? include the material, and all the colors as well as the pattern?

I am subscribed to a FB page called Cross Stitch Addicts and they posted a picture of the empty cross-stitching shelves at HL! She said it was a clearance sale. Someone else said that an employee at the HL she goes to says the store is moving toward more home goods and decorative items and less crafty items! Another dream of a local store that sells cross stitch items --- dashed! So sad! I would love to open my own little store in Lancaster Cty or maybe even local where I live now. Pipe dream, I know especially with brick and mortar stores becoming a thing of the past, probably not a very lucrative idea!

😀Kind of crass but funny.😂

Since Hobby Lobby was just a topic of discussion, I want to ask a question... I live in a smaller town (Lawrenceburg, KY) that does not have a Hobby Lobby. However, I have one within an easy drive in three different directions. I have been to two of them very recently. Both were not well stocked with DMC floss or with aida. I told my husband that I most certainly hope that they are not doing away with cross stitch supplies. Has anyone else experienced this lately? Lisa

I am surprising myself ....I'm doing this "Lady Bug " design of a stained glass nativity scene which requires over 23 colors. For me this is challenging. It's coming out so beautiful. I just decided to go slow and concentrate and I love the results. Also takes my mind off my pain (spinal stenosis.) Had my second epidural shot 6 days ago but this is not kicking in as the first one did. Oh well...what can I do " But I am so pleased with my self for taking this challenge and looks like I'm succeeding . I have another I got from e Bay which requires over 50 colors..I tried to return it but I waited too long. They won't take it back. But who knows, when I finish this, I may take that one on.

Many years ago I got a serving tray and it opened in the back and put in a crosstitch project in, then gave it to my parents. It was so nice and they loved it. Does anyone know where I could get anything different than a photo frame to put a wedding sampler in?
