And that same day there was a request on the facebook page for a cross stitch chart featuring River Song. And now there is no more Dr. Who until November so here is a Dr. Who cross stitch with a River Song theme to it.<br /> <br /> Share it! Pin it!

Who the frick uses Visio for fricking ANYthing? It is possibly the most useless piece of enterprise crap on the market. Like the architects who develop Visio probably don't use it to do their specifications. Or they would know how SHYTE it is. Why does it even exist?<br /> <br /> So I thought I would open this up for discussion. What is your day job? Is there a "standard" tool touted for your profession that is actually the worst thing anyone doing that job could use for doing that job?<br /> <br /> Also do you have a rather niche calling for which there are few cross stitch charts? Maybe you know someone in an obscure field for whom you would like to stitch something but there just isn't anything out there for them.<br /> <br /> Let me know peoples!<br /> <br /> Here is some more geekery for you at my zazzle store:<br /> <br /> <table border="1" bordercolor="#FFCC00" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: white; height: 200px; width: 200px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.zazzle.co.uk/too_dumb_for_net_mug-168081298146620353?rf=238700375443464581" target="new"> <img alt="Too dumb for .net mug" src="http://rlv.zcache.co.uk/too_dumb_for_net_mug-re33356eade50476d9a1bdb7c158e6b59_x7jg5_8byvr_125.jpg" style="border: 0;" /> </a> </div> </td> <td><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.zazzle.co.uk/when_in_doubt_rem_it_out_coffee_mugs-168052488984005636?rf=238700375443464581" target="new"> <img alt="When in Doubt, Rem It Out Coffee Mugs" src="http://rlv.zcache.co.uk/when_in_doubt_rem_it_out_coffee_mugs-rda4fe0efdad846bfabe71d1bd1504374_x7jg5_8byvr_125.jpg" style="border: 0;" /> </a> </div> </td> <td><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.zazzle.co.uk/get_off_my_cloud_mug-168604557563587858?view=113548796142210556&amp;rf=238700375443464581" target="new"> <img alt="Get Off My Cloud!

This week's free cross stitch chart was inspired by a few things. There are some crazy poofy primulas that have come out in my garden and then I saw a neato quilt design on pinterest that kind of looked like them all in a row.<br /> <br /> And then I used to have this mosaic sign thing in my garden that said "Grow". Sadly, the frost finally got the better of it this year and I kind of miss it out there keeping all the flowers in line with a perpetual pep talk. They need it this time of year!<br /> <br /> Share it! Pin it!

I have been absent for a couple of weeks but am back with a new free cross stitch chart for you featuring some very vintage Pyrex.<br /> <br /> There are worse vices than an uncontrollable urge to scour charity and thrift stores for mid-twentieth century glass baking ware at any given opportunity. Such as the excited little SQUEE that escapes one when confronted with the entire contents of someone's poor recently deceased granny's kitchen cupboards crammed higgledy piggledy on the bargain shelf of the local Sally Anne.<br /> <br /> Share it!

They obviously didn't spend hours in the kitchen with their (most likely) female relative waiting to lick out the bowl or learning to make THEEE BEST chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. They have no memory of the delicious alchemy that such practical and durable objects facilitated. <br /> <br /> Right click and save as!<br /> <br /> If you are a vintage Pyrex fan why not check out some of these mugs featuring vintage pyrex-y designs. These will be going down in price as of the 20th of April 2013. Only £12.95! I make about £1.30 on that. I will also be adding some more designs in the near future and you will be able to collect them all.<br /> <br /> <table border="1" bordercolor="#FFCC00" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="background-color: white; height: 200px; width: 200px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.zazzle.co.uk/vintage_pyrex_style_pattern_mug_blue_eyes-168589604124812923?rf=238700375443464581" target="_blank"> <img alt="Vintage Pyrex Style Pattern Mug: Blue Eyes" src="http://rlv.zcache.co.uk/vintage_pyrex_style_pattern_mug_blue_eyes-rd3fd4938526f46ab9c4954b05565bdc8_x7jsg_8byvr_125.jpg" style="border: 0;" /> </a> </div> </td> <td><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.zazzle.co.uk/vintage_pyrex_style_pattern_mug-168176997906111894?rf=238700375443464581" target="_blank"> <img alt="Vintage Pyrex Style Pattern Mug" src="http://rlv.zcache.co.uk/vintage_pyrex_style_pattern_mug-r747dc548605e4fba87a6df21fa886824_x7jsg_8byvr_125.jpg" style="border: 0;" /> </a> </div> </td> <td><div style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.zazzle.co.uk/vintage_pyrex_style_pattern_mug_roosters-168489159996769553?rf=238700375443464581" target="_blank"> <img alt="Vintage Pyrex Style Pattern Mug: Roosters" src="http://rlv.zcache.co.uk/vintage_pyrex_style_pattern_mug_roosters-r00456e5c6dc94d8bb0398b4a1fb13b22_x7j1z_8byvr_125.jpg" style="border: 0;" /> </a> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:4cEx4HpKnUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?i=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:4cEx4HpKnUU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?i=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?i=FIVpk4EQTng:Q6sbyjE9nVw:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HancocksHouseOfHappy/~4/FIVpk4EQTng" height="1" width="1"/>Hancocks Houseofhappyhttps://plus.google.com/100291063507931414238noreply@blogger.com0http://hancockshouseofhappy.blogspot.com/2013/04/look-at-all-colours-vintage-pyrex.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387147980672806621.post-11876867428314190342013-03-26T12:37:00.002-07:002013-03-26T12:45:24.897-07:002013-03-26T12:45:24.897-07:00Hello peoples!

Today I have a seasonal free cross stitch chart for you. I think this happy Easter bunny pattern is simple and easy enough to stitch up in time for the holiday.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">&nbsp;What are your Easter basket memories? Did you ever get anything that now seems a bit strange?</span></b></div> <br /> When I was a kid my brother and I would get these weird inflatable Easter bunnies with the rest of our Easter basket treats. The bunnies were about three feet high. They tended to be pink, blue, or yellow and they would always be holding an inflatable carrot. Very confusing because the carrot is not really a seasonal veg for Easter time. And I have no idea what happened to them. Maybe they were the same ones each year?<br /> <br /> Share it! Pin it!

I wanted to post up this week's free cross stitch chart, featuring a cheerful and colourful tea kettle, before the weekend. <br /> <br /> This week's cross stitch chart is a bit of a cheat. It is a an image from a picture font. I wanted to do something colourful and this is all my brain had the energy for.

Just not on twitter. Pinterest was not really a THING this time last year so I don't have a set of comparable results. I must confess that I have never really got into the twitter thing myself.<br /> <br /> Anyways the whole point of this post is that I have been going through the posts where I did this Tweet For It thing and putting the charts up on Craftsy where you don't have to do anything to get them. Apart from sign up to Craftsy which doesn't benefit me directly in any way. But it does benefit you because for just your email address you get access to tons of great free crafting content.

This is due to life becoming rather erratic recently.

There needs to be some sort of service level agreement around here so that you know when you send me a message you don't have to wait frikkin' months to hear back.<br /> <br /> Especially if you have taken the time and trouble to send me pictures of Hancock's House of Happy cross stitch charts that you have stitched!<br /> <br /> I have had two people send me links and photos and lots more telling me that they have stitch this or that chart. If you have stitched up one the free cross stitch charts please do take a picture and send it to the email address or if you have blogged it send me a link. I will try and post each and every one I get!<br /> <br /> This week there are two amazing stitchers.<br /> <br /> The first one is deviant artist <a href="http://highonlollypops.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">Highonlollypops</a> (which is a fantastic concept in itself). She stitched up the two <a href="http://hancockshouseofhappy.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/free-cute-octopus-valentine-cross.html" target="_blank">little Valentine octis</a>.

Time for this week's free cross stitch chart. This pattern features a rather famous front door. It's Bag End from The Hobbit.<br /> <br /> I was never a huge fan of this book but I do love the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

This week's free cross stitch chart will be up some time this weekend. Wanted to share a little bit of life stuff with you today.<br /> <br /> The winter festive season is upon us and for a good percentage of the world that means winter festive gift giving.<br /> <br /> Gift exchanging at this time of year is not something that has loomed large in my adult life.<br /> <br /> In our family we have not done formal gift exchanges for quite some time. We are a far flung family and if we have the very good fortune to some how manage Christmas together it is being together that is important. On the rare occasion when some of us manage to be in the same place at the same time we will give small token sort of gifts to each other. Socks and chocolate are the most popular.<br /> <br /> Bear and I exchanged gifts for the first couple of years we had Christmas together with the strict limit of £25 (or about $40). But last Christmas and this Christmas we have agreed not to. Firstly because we are both adults and if we need something we can get it for ourselves. Secondly, neither of us is in a position to give lavish luxury type gifts of gadgets, perfume,&nbsp;jewelry, or what have you, that we would like but could not afford to get for ourselves.<br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Do you do home made gifts? Exclusively? Do you find that they are appreciated for the time and love you put into them or do you get blank looks? What sort of home made gifts do you give?&nbsp;</b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b>Let me know in the comments!</b></div> <br /> <br /> In recent years, when I have managed to make it to the 'rents for the holiday, I tend to get given family "treasures". Like a bracelet mom doesn't wear any more or a piece of pottery that they have had since I was a child but they no longer want.<br /> <br /> For family gifting things are functional or edible, and CHEAP.&nbsp;Or home made.<br /> <br /> Yes I am one of those really irritating smug self satisfied people who have the wherewithall to make gifts and, lacking all sorts of shame, give them to people. People I know.<br /> <br /> These are some of this year's crop. Last year the 'rents got a very special cross stitch sampler and my brother got cookies.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0fvrrq35f8s/UMJB9mbq5PI/AAAAAAAABCs/Kl2cvRyTZnw/s1600/homemade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0fvrrq35f8s/UMJB9mbq5PI/AAAAAAAABCs/Kl2cvRyTZnw/s1600/homemade.jpg" height="640" width="483" /></a></div> <br /> The little cross stitch sampler there was actually for a recent birthday and I am notorious for foisting my handiwork on people for those sorts of occasions as well. The response to my home made gifts is generally good. Although sometimes, in the case of my pottery work, people don't always&nbsp;realize&nbsp;that I am the person who has made it.<br /> <br /> I have a few more things to do for this year's holiday. Everyone wants a teddy with their name on it!<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:4cEx4HpKnUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?i=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:4cEx4HpKnUU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?i=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?a=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/HancocksHouseOfHappy?i=l2OS9AMxAIE:J3g-CQRtEQQ:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HancocksHouseOfHappy/~4/l2OS9AMxAIE" height="1" width="1"/>Hancocks Houseofhappyhttps://plus.google.com/100291063507931414238noreply@blogger.com4http://hancockshouseofhappy.blogspot.com/2012/12/home-made-christmas-do-you-do-home-made.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387147980672806621.post-90591367424341788872012-11-25T10:35:00.002-08:002012-11-25T10:39:25.350-08:002012-11-25T10:39:25.350-08:00A wee little free cross stitch chart for you this week. A more traditional sampler style design that might make a neato little Christmas gift. Or birthday gift in my case. Yes, the funniest man in the world has a birthday coming up. He also happens to be my biggest fan.<br /> <br /> I will not be posting a chart next week as I will be away. I would love to see what you have been stitching. If you have stitched up any Hancock's House of Happy cross stitch charts send me an email (hancockshouseofhappy at googlemail dot come) or a link. It has been a while since we have had a reader of the week! <br /> <br /> This is such a simple little chart you will be able to stitch it up in no time at all and you can use what ever colours you would prefer. I did this one on 28 count even weave and over one thread so it turned out to be a charming 2 inches square.<br /> <br /> Right click and save as to download.<br /> <br /> Share it! Pin it!

It's the only way you are going to get this song out of your head, work through your pop culture angst and move on.<br /> <br /> I have two Gangnam Style cross stitch charts for you today because I couldn't decide which one people might like better. Let your sharing, pinning and tweeting decide the winner! Sexy Lady Sampler or Psysplosion.<br /> <br /> Right click and save as. The DMC colour key is included in each chart but you can use what ever colours you like best or have to hand.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Sexy Lady Sampler </span><br /> <br /> <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Share it!
