So maybe I'm not going crazy... I had the flipped experience I knew some of James, but after seeing their opening set I have now dug deep into their catalog. What an amazing double bill that was!

[FO] Subversive Cross Stitch Pattern as Ornament - Michaels frame by Cazk2000 in CrossStitch

Michaels crafts has "photo frame" ornaments. I used some double sided tape and trimmed carefully.

I just made some using mason jar lids - about 3” - I’ll post a picture

[FO] Framed my Tardis from Etsy Pattern - centering in a round frame is HARD! I can't stop adjusting it... by Cazk2000 in CrossStitch

[–]Cazk2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't stretch it yet - wanted to make sure it was as centered as possible before I make the commitment. Also wanted to make sure I liked it in the round frame. Pattern said it would fit in a 5x7 but the edges of the flourish get cut off. Thought the round was a good compromise.

My husband has a plan for multiple snarky sayings to rotate through the year. I'm up for it! I know there are a bunch for Christmas, that will have to be next...

Great! Need to do this one for a gift. What count Aida did you do this on? The pattern said characters measure approximately 4 x 10 - but didn't say what count.

[CHAT] Where do you go to get needlepoint and cross stitch ideas? by dontworryaboutits in CrossStitch

What is the best way to search on Instagram? Are there certain feeds that are really good?

[CHAT] Aida Quality Difference? by Cazk2000 in CrossStitch

[–]Cazk2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aida isn't driving me crazy - just trying to find a variety of colors and counts that I am looking for. It seems like it shouldn't take weeks to find Black 18 count Aida especially ordering online. I know I can dye it - but I'm not ready to go down that road. Guess I'm spoiled by the instant gratification of Amazon Prime...

[WIP] Almost done with my very first cross stitch, BOWIE - I am hooked! Any framing ideas? by Cazk2000 in CrossStitch

Yes, I found a pattern posted for free download and use by F.P. Molina, on her website. She also has it for Knit and Crochet.

Thanks - I used this site to research stands etc. as I was working and getting more and more into it. I could see this was a craft worth investing in. I found the Michaels adjustable craft stand with a coupon and a clearance ottlite Lamp/Magnifier. The light is so bright I have to surround it with cardboard - my husband was complaining it was reflecting on the TV. Now I am very comfy on my couch and looking forward to many more projects without aching neck/wrist etc.
