Cross Stitch Cafe 2012

I'll post some piccies as soon as I get it - I can't wait now!

Flowers are not something I would do normally, but I just love the pure size of it, and I think it will look lovely when done. There are some lovely big ones like that one, so once I've done that, I'll see what it turns out like and then maybe think of something a little different.

I've nearly finished my Spring Angel - that has been a labour of love! I've decided against the beads, I put a few on last night, and I just didn't like them. I will keep them for something else though so they won't go to waste. To be honest I just want to get it finished - another for my daughter's bedroom!

Once I've finished this, (hopefully this weekend) I'm going to do a few smaller ones until my BIG one comes off Ebay

Benny - I have found Peacock Majesty and the good news is that I can't see any over 1 stitches. The instrucitons for the speciality stitches are usually good on JN charts.

While sorting through I found a duplicate chart "Be My Valentine" complete with beads and charm pack so that's for auction next time there is a free listing weekend

I was also inspired to get out one of my UFOs and stitch on it last night. It's JN Noah's Needle stitched on blue linen. I stitched the first giraffe, the first elephant and part of the 2nd giraffe last night and intend to carry on and finish it so thank you Benny :T

Ooo.... chickenpox scratchy scratchy.

Not too overwhelmed by WOXS..... but never mind I'm sure something will come in handy in the future.
