Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 I have just been on an investigation to Foxstitch - what a wonderful site (I did as it says and book marked it!) I was initially being nosey (as I have some spare time on my hands - I know, I know I should be resting but I have got my feet up as I type!) and will return in a few days to place an order. I just loved the 'Summer Box' cross stitch. It seems just perfect to do when I am convalesing. Can I be even more nosey - was it a hobby that just grew and grew? I would love to be able to pursue a careeer that involved something that I enjoyed and loved (see previous posting on Refelexology) Anyway,I just wanted you to know that I thought that it was wonderful - a real find for me!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Aww thank you!! It did start as a hobby, then a friend and I got together and decided that we were fed up of buying from America and decided we could do it ourselves, then at the beginning of July I bought her out - 'cos with 2 small children and another on the way I don't have enough to do!!!

I just loved the 'Summer > Box' cross stitch. It seems just perfect to do when I am convalesing. will be far too modest to tell you this but as a frquent customer I can testify that the orders arrive incredibly promptly, all beautifully wrapped in tissue paper and the designs and threads are lovely. I've just done The Marriage Promise for my BIL's wedding gift and it was received with great rapture. I hadn't done cross stitch for years as I hate a lot of the twee designs you find over here but these American ones are wonderful. Re making a career out of a hobby I am going for an interview this Sunday to train as an aromatherapist with the Tisserand Institure in London. One weekend a month for two years, gulp. But it has always fascinated me and hey, I have'nt got much else on....!! Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept meaning to post about the SAHM/working mother thing - because someone mentioned the option of working from home - but guess what? I never found the time to say what I wanted to say!!! Some mornings I achieve more before I get to nursery than I ever achieved in a day at work and that is in addition to breakfasting and dressing the children and all those domestic things that still have to happen! Other days I end up working until 10 or 11 at night just to get everything straight for the next day - but I love the flexibility - as long as I am prepared to either get up early or work in the evening I can have the majority of my day to spend with the children. Conversley I have the perfect excuse to close the stairgate on the office door and sit at the pooter and tell my poor children that I am working!!! http://www.foxstitch.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
