cross stitch anyone?

My sister bought me this book at the weekend from a carboot sale! I haven't ever done any cross stitch before but some of the designs in this book are really cool! The colours are so bright and they are lovely bold patterns, I might just give it a go, as soon as I feel better. The house seems to have been struck done by a nasty sore throat lergy, not nice, so instead of crafting I'm spending about 2 hours trying to eat my dinner ( sorry was that too much info ! )

And seeing as I now know how to do words then pictures it'd be rude not to do it here!!

Also I keep reading on other peoples blogs about gocco, it sounds just fantastic, I am very intruiged but I can't find any available on the web in the UK, I have found a US company that would ship it over, shall I go for it?? Oh I think I just might.... I love screen printing but haven't done any since school, it looks like it's the perfect thing for making cards ( something that I love to do ) We shall see.....
