If it helps the design is surrounded in seed beads which don't show up well on the picture The beeds are white and blue.
Many thanks
When I saw this in my copy of the magazine I was very tempted to add it to my to do list (and I might still do so in the new year)
Simply stunning0 -
brednall - little owl looks lovely and the mount and frame are just perfect.
sk00bie - those xmas decorations look gorgeous - very classy. Looking forward to seeing the angel.
Ruth_honey - well done on the fantastic weight loss. Sorry to hear that your hospital appointments didn't go as well as you had hoped. Hopefully they will be able to sort your op out for you sooner rather than later.
Ailsb - hope you both have a wonderful time in Paris. I usually feel better when I have got several things to do when I make a list then physically tick them off and I feel as though I have achieved something (as sad as this sounds). You will get there in the end - I'm sure.
pap - Oooooohhhhh she looks stunning. Looking forward to seeing your update piccies - no rush though
Off out later to blood donors so by the time we get back and get tea sorted I might just get the back-stitching done on a little xmas card I started yesterday. I could maybe do it before I go out - I have been good and done the ironing this afternoon
Take care everyone,

Work has been so manic that I haven't touched this for almost a fortnight. Hoping to get some done this weekend.
I can start to see how good the design is now - the shading is brilliant and all without backstitch!

Mag's may I please ask what design you are stitching? It looks like good progress whatever it is but its nice to see the completed design.
FOS, she is really lovely and I may regret this but the chart looks less complicated than first imagined. It looks like whole stitches only, which suits me
BEG, I will be starting it on or just after the 10th. I am hoping to do her alongside London but we shall see what happens. I need to order the seed beads and kreinik thread first
I have just had to unpick half of the bird, I don't know if I droped a line or miss alined the branch to bird :eek: It was easier to unpick the bird as unpicking the brances may have distorted the aida. Still hoping to finish it tonight/tomorrow :cool:0 -

Yup - very few half stiches and minimal confetti stitching on JE designs0 -
Mags_cat - that is good progress and the shading really makes it 3D.
PAP - that Angel is really nice. Looking forward to seeing the progress reports.
Well I went to Hobbycraft to use my 20% off voucher, and you've guessed it they don't stock DMC diamante. Did manage to buy a cushion kit to stitch a tree frog cushion although hubby can't see why our son would want another cushion!!Cross Stitch Cafe Member #59 :j

Ahem.
You can see that I'll be doing this for *some time* :rotfl:0 -
Ailsb - Sorry you couldn't get your threads. I think I must have got them from a local shop, definitely didn't get them online. Perhaps you could ring DMC and ask about local stockists?
Mag_cat - Looking good!
My Hobbycraft trip was quite successful, got the new Cross Stitcher and 3 mini Christmas stitches. Got 2 other magazines oops! I nearly bought more and managed to talk myself out of them, It's not worth it when I'll only stitch one design from each.
Quick Angel update, here is where I'm starting from tonight after pretty much stitching all day yesterday;
Will do a bit then might start these;
