I'm Tracey, I'm 34 and I've been married to Adam for 8 years but we've been together for 15½ years, I've got 3 kids Jordan 16½, Aidan just turned 10 and Saffron who's 7 tomorrow.

I'm a home shopper for ASDA and I love to cross stitch and I've become addicted to HAED's this year, I love reading and spending time with my family especially alone time with my hubby as we don't get much time, I pretty much have a open house and so theres always people popping in and out.

I love my Indie music and I'm waiting for the Wii to be released and will probably be very addicted to that for a while.

Hiya, another Goddess here (the meaning of Michelle is Godlike which I like to remind my loved ones of now and then lol), I am 32 married to a wonderful soldier who I am very proud of Phillip. We have 3 children Joel aged 6, Dylan, 4 and Kari (pron carry) 2. We are owned by two increasingly scatt cats Sylvester and Spider and plan on putting their noses well out of joint by getting a dog in the near future lol.
I have been on here a couple of years now but don't post as often any-more as I started designing and as my designs are in shops I can call myself a cross stitch designer woohoo.

Hi I'm Caz. 29 and determined to stay that way for the next couple of years (in denial about being 30!). I have been with my boyfriend for 18 months officially but we have known each other for 15 years. We are in the process of buying our 1st home together and are not far off completion but now being messed around by our seller - and i SO wanted to be in for xmas! i have a little dog called Pebbles and have been stitching for the last 10 years or so.

My name's Sheila and I am 52 with the mental age of 21 (lol). I have been married for 27 years and have one son (24) and one daughter (21). I live in west London and have been cross stitching for a few years. Mostly do small projects like coasters (trying to do a set for a very large lot of italian in-laws). Biggest project so far has been a Noah's Ark from a Cross Stitcher mag.

I teach adults (can't be doing with children)at our local college.

I tend to hang around a lot and probably don't post as much as I should or would like to do.

I'm Jean, divorced (and loving it), just had my 42nd birthday. I live with my 4 children aged between 18 and 8, a daft Miniature Jack Russell pup, 4 cats, 4 chinchillas and 2 hamsters!

I work part time as a Funeral Co-ordinator, and I love my job. Hobbies include reading, cross-stitch, card making, sudoku and DIY

Hi, my name is Janet, I am 48 and mother to hubby Trevor 51 (been married for 31 years), Victoriabee who is 31 today, Lesley (female)27, (28 in 9 days), Nicola 26, Kim 24, Hayley 22, then 9 years later, Samantha 13, and last but if he had arrived first would have been an only child, Trevor junior 11. I am also Nanny to Nathan 9, Katie 6, Jodie 4 (victorias), Robert 3 and a half, Jayne 1 (Lesleys) Daniel 1 and a half ( Hayleys) and a bump due next May (Nicolas). We were adopted by Jess the cat a long time ago. Even though I ran over her last year when reversing out of the driveway last year and she had to have her tail amputated, she still likes me. Mike the dog arrived 3 years ago. Next doors cat seems to continully forget where it lives and stays at my backdoor waiting to be let in.

Lovecross stitching, crochet, knitting (machine and hand), reading, card making , in fact most craft work. Always looking for something new to try.

Right enough of me boring everyone. Time to go, Janet.

Hi! I am Sofie ( at least here ;-) ) 36 and married to my hubby for a little more than one year and have no kids.. yet... Living in North-Norway but I am from South-Norway originally..
I have been without job for about a year now and it is not much to apply for here..

My hobbies beside cross stitching is reading among others.

I'm Barbara, 48 years young, married to Rob for 18 years been together for 24. 1 son, Chris, from a brief previous marriage, he's 26 and off doing his own thing. A daughter Claire 21 at university studying Psychology. I was born in Stockton on Tees but we emigrated to Zambia in 1973, then moved to Jhb SA in 1975, went to school in what was then Rhodesia.
Love to knit and crochet and read, learnt to x stitch about 6 years ago...came across it by accident and havent stopped since. I work full time in a motorbike shop, doing the finance and insurance. Got 2 daft dogs, both rescued from RSPCA, the older one, a bull terrier has got cancer and I'm dreading the day she has to 'leave', that will break my heart. xxxxxxx

Hiya, I'm Tracy and I'm 28 . I've been married for 7 years, but with my other half Michael for 9 years. We have 2 beautiful children, Josh 6 and Freya 19 months. I did have a baby two years before my son Josh, his name was Jake, but sadly he passed away when he was 37 hours. I can never say I have just 2 children, because in my heart I have 3.

I have a cat called Ebony, a wire haired fox terrier called Wally, 2 Russian Dwarf Hamsters called Lola and Chealski and lots of Fish. I am hopefully getting another kitty cat next year when Freya is 2, I'm so excited, how sad lol.

I am a stay at home mum, unfortunately I can't work due to sickness and have just been signed off for the next year, but on a good note at least it gives me time to do more sritching.

My hobbies are Cross stitching, I also like to make up charts using my chart software, reading,and doing sudoku puzzles.

I think that's just about me, oh and of course I love to come on here and chat to my stitching buddies

Speak to you all soon

Keep stitching and smiling xx
