This is 3 month old Ozzy my son’s family‘s Puppy checking out the local talent at the beach yesterday. We have 8,750 kilometres of beach/coast line here so no problem with distancing.

.........to drink lots of 💦. Just remembered it myself when starting to feel Floppy.

Would anyone be able to sell me “The Mermaid off The Pearls” crossstitch pattern please?

Today is...................

Don’t you just love starting a new project! All those lovely colours just waiting to turn into a picture. Think maybe peacock will be a big challenge but I’m not going anywhere (unfortunately) so have plenty of time. Queensland is still very safe with not many cases of this rotten virus but further down south is a disaster so we have closed our borders and not letting anyone in. We are all Australian so this seems terrible but just now seems to be the only to stop the spread. Hugs to all my fellow stitchers💖

I love Orenco patterns because they use very large print and are easy to follow....except....I know this pattern needs backstitching and Orenco leaves that up to the stitcher. Does anyone have this pattern from another company or can anyone suggest to me the DMC colors for backstitching the women's face and gown? I am almost finished with the first page and I like to back stitch before moving on. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Got a text from a friend, which I will edit for this post: "Oh, sure, 'it sounds like' thunder, but its 2020 so it's probably [deleted] Godzilla."

Thank you sp much for having most of the floss colors that i need .I will try back in a bout a week to see if tey are instock a bit more expensive than Jo ann but you have more colors available. Thank you again

Hi there everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I will be out of the office all week next week (8/10-8/14) and will be returning Monday, August 17th. I will not be available to answer any emails or posts here on the message boards until the 17th. Morgan will be checking periodically and answering things as she can but if you need immediate assistance with anything, send us an email or give us a call during business hours. I am taking a much needed break…and a complete one at that! Meaning that I won’t be sneaking on and doing work when I am not supposed to, lol! I hope you all stay safe, stay healthy and stay stitching during my time away :) I will talk to you all on Monday, the 17th!! ~Kristi @ ECS

Thursday

Hello everyone! it's the beginning of the month and time for our monthly 'Show and Tell' of what we've been working on in recent weeks or what we've recently completed. It's been right about a year since this monthly thread was begun -- i don't recall if it was July or August of last year when we started it. If you like, post a photo of what you've been working on recently; if you prefer, just tell us in words. Happy Stitching, everyone; stay safe and well!
