Last xmas card

This is the last card i made, it was for a friend on the cross stitch forum but i didn't want to show it on here until she had recieved it. I have just sorted all my threads out to carry on with 'single white daisy' :)

Christmas stitching

I haven't done as much as i would have liked due to working a lot but heres my christmas stitching :)

Angel card

xmas cards

My recent card finishes :-)

New Arrival framed and new baby card

The card is for our nephews baby Rowan and the picture will be given to my friend on Friday

Single white daisy 1st page finished

This has taken for ever due to the confetti stitch. Its going on hold for a while now to make room for smaller projects

New Arrival finish

I have found my stitchy bug again and really got a move on with this one. Its for a friend who is due to have her baby in a few weeks so ive put it away so i can stitch the babys name and weight on.

Update and card finish

This is my latest update after a break
from stitching due to lack of time. I've
made this kokeshi doll i stitched
earlier in the year for a friends
daughter and the New arrival is
starting to take shape :)

New arrival wip

This is the first wip. I haven't done very much but will try to do more the next few weeks :)

Wine a Bit framed

I found the perfect frame in Wilkinsons for this project. It sets it off but i had to leave out the glass because of the charm.

Wip of daisy and new project

This is what i have done up to now on my single white daisy. It doesn't look much more than a blob but there are about 8 colour changes already. It was getting a bit tedious so i have started another project so i can alternate them. I have just started Maria Diaz's New Arrival 1. I've had the chart for a while and knew i would start it eventually. It is for a friend.

WINE A BIT

I found this chart whilst browsing sewandso and bought it because its perfect for me. I'm not an alcoholic but i do enjoy the odd glass of red wine :) lol It took me a few evenings to stitch up and will look for a frame on Saturday :)

An angels garden framed

I finally found the perfect frame for my angel:)

Tatty Ted framed

Finally finished and framed:)

Tatty Teddy 'Our wedding' finish

I've finally finished this so will get it framed and give it to the bride on Wednesday :) Its going in a silver frame so i have stitched a border because there is no mount. I struggled to get the wording straight and unpicked twice but this is the nearest i can get without ruining it.

Tatty Teddy wedding sampler WIP

I've done the cross stitch and now have the hardest bit to do, the backstitch!!!! wish me luck! lol

Yorkshire Terrier

This is my latest finish, a yorkie birthday card for my Grandma. It looks just like her little dog. Now need to finish the wedding sampler, i'm so behind already.

Stitching update

I haven't done a lot of stitching lately, i haven't been well for weeks so have been lurking quite a bit. I suffered from a nasty chest infection followed by infection in both ears and then sinusitis so was quite unwell for some time. After two courses of antibiotics i started to feel better but then came down with a sore throat and swollen glands! To top that off got two coldsores. Hopefully that will be the end and just to make sure i have bought some expensive vitamins to help my immune system. I really need to do some more stitching soon as i have a card to finish for my Grandma for her birthday of a yorkshire terrier and a tatty teddy wedding sampler too. I have started a facebook group last month called 'Cross Stitch Show and Tell'. It is doing really well and there are over 460 members so i'm very pleased about that. I really hope it continues to be popular.

An Angels Garden finish

Another finish, wasn't keen on all those large blocks of colour. I don't know yet what i'm going to do with it, i might make it into a cushion.

small finish and a Wip

I lost my stitchy bug for a while after getting a nasty chest infection which is still lingering. I went to Majorca to see my Grandma for a few days and stitched this colourful kokeshi doll from cross stitcher 223. Since i got back i have done more of the Garden angel. I am hoping to finish it this week so that i can start on the wedding sampler.

Well i think i'm halfway there, seems to be taking me forever with all that black but have been busy. I started a new facebook group 'cross stitch show and tell' a couple of days ago and already it has 312 members! I've just been looking at all the photos and now i feel my stitchy bug coming back:)

An Angels Garden

This is my first pic of 'An angels Garden' designed by Alessandra Adelaide Needleworks, i bought it from www.patternsonline.com . I'm stitching it on silkweaver lemon sparkle. It shouldn't take long to stitch because of the large blocks of colour and there is just three colours.
