Thankfully I put all my magazines in plastic bags before boxing them up so they came through okay. Don't know what I would've done otherwise! I have hundreds, and still a big stack to go through. I'm sure I'll find something I like. Trouble is, most I've looked at and considered possibles have got fractional stitches, which I don't do. I have trouble seeing them on the charts and on my stitching so I lose my place and get in a mess.
Disaster struck with my cross stitching tonight! I'd just started the third of the designs when I dropped my yogurt... It went all over part of my stitching, the magazine, my desk, and my trousers *headdesk. I cleaned it off the magazine as best I could and I'm hoping that won't go moldy. I rinsed my trousers but they need washing and I don't have anything else dark to wash. Also rinsed my stitching but I'm not sure I got all the yogurt out of it, so I had to cut another piece of fabric and start again. Wasted over an hour of stitching time! =(
