The Hobby Sticky - Show Off Your Work

[chickadee1976]

Ive had one before and loved it, but im a bit of a magpie.
Thing is my new phone doesnt have the hanging bit on it, id check to see if its just mine (a sony erricson w580 i) or if most new phones dont have one

 

[Babylicious]

purple - yes they are lush

 

[x-kirsty-x]

I'd definitely buy one, I love things like that

 

[Minime]

What would i need to have to start cross stitching, im desperate to make something but dont know where to start

I probably have a couple of kits knocking about if you want to try? You get small free ones on some magazines which you can have a go at. PM me your address and I'll see what I've got (I'm sure I have a small tigger kit)

Finished this today - I designed it myself too. It's for a charity square for a poorly little boy called armani http://www.lovequiltsuk.com/AmaniM.html

Not had chance to iron it yet though!

 

[Minime]

Here's one I made last week, its rubber stamped on stampbord and glazed

 

[Minxy]

Ooh, saucy Minime! Absolutely stunning though. What is it? A card?

You talented laydee!

 

[Minime]

yup, you use different stamps to create an image or scene, its done on 16 pieces of 1"x1" stampbord tiles then its all coloured in, separated, glazed and mounted on card

 

[Rosebay]

your cards are lovely emma!

can i ask all your opinions on these? would you buy one (in theory - i'm not touting )?

I like your phone charms! I make and sell them on my stall (not personalized mind you) and as a guide price for you I get £2.50 each for them, especially near Xmas as they're nice little presents for people. Mine have got beads too and little pressed Czech beads like cat heads, elephants, ladybirds and Xmas trees. Hope that helps!

Anyone got any cross stitch kits that they dont want? good home my way if you do lol

 

[Minime]

Kits or charts?

 

[spacehopper]

My hobbie before i was pregnant wasnt cross stitch or anything like that but this

I miss riding soooo much lol

 

[Slinky Sarah]

either really hun...

has anyone got software to create your own charts?

i am gonna be doing the rest of the cars caracters and have pics of the ones but just need get them converted...would it be cheaper getting a chart and buying the rest of it or finding someone to make me a kit up?

 

[Babylicious]

Much cheaper to chart them yourself - if you show me the ones you've done already and let me have some pics of the ones you want charting I'll do them for you (I'd give you the software but I lent it to someone else and not had it back yet, thankfully it's installed on my machine though)

Also use www.sewandso.co.uk to order your threads, definately cheaper than buying them in the shop

 

[Slinky Sarah]

awww cheers hun ill check out that site for prices of everything...

ill PM you the pics later today thank you xx
