***Money making for Christmas and all occasions 2011***

Whether you are new to this thread or one of the gang from previous years (class of 2007, 2008, 2009 or 2010) please let me welcome you warmly into the group!

What are we all about? Christmas and Birthdays and other occasions often creep up on us. It's an expense none of us want or need, so our ambition here is to get as much as we can for as little as possible.

A question about : Cross Stitch Cafe 2012

As featured in Cross Stitch Crazy's Club of the Month.

Welcome to the Cafe's new thread.

Have you got some UFO's (UnFinished Objects) still to finish??

Setting yourself deadlines for stitching cards and pressies?

Half way thro a huge project and needing motivation to finish?

Found a fabby stitching bargain that you want to share??

Just really want to get something off your chest??

A question about : Making cards

I was hoping someone on here could give me some advice. I'd like to try making cards but don't have any idea where to start. I've looked in a few craft shops and found the choice overwhelming.
So.. am I best buying a kit to start with that has all the bits in, or if its better to buy the bits separately, what do I need ?
Also.. is it worth buying any of the magazines ? I've seen a few but they're all sealed so its difficult to know if they're worth the money, and one is about Ј8 !
Thanks for any help, sorry its a bit long.

Have you got some UFO's still to finish??

Setting yourself deadlines for stitching cards and pressies?

Half way thro a huge project and needing motivation to finish?

Then grap a cuppa tea and come and have a moan, come a borrow ideas, or just look lovingly at everyone else's projects.

Don't forget to set yourself up a photo album account somewhere to share all your lovely work.

Hope to see some 2009 UFO'ers + some new faces.

A question about : Nappy Cakes

I've decided to make a nappy cake for my sisters new baby (due november) but I need some help with how to make one.

How many nappies will I need? I want to make a big one, probably 3 tiers but don't have a clue
