sweetcarer, those snowdrops really do look lovely. such a clean simple pattern i'm sure the recipients will be delighted (and touched ) by them.

i've just spent 2 hours back stitching round my dragon (i've gone round the head and one leg) last night it took me about an hour and a half to go round the wing!

Sorry to quote myself but managed to update original post rather than a new one, hence quoting myself rather than having to retype it all.

Sweetcarer love the snowdrops. So simple but really effective.

Well another 2 to cross off the list - new baby cards done at a craft meet, and postcards for a friend's wedding completed last night and they look fantastic! Camera is playing up at the moment, so its all fun and games.

Also finished the first square on my niece's quilt, and have been asked to make two more...I might put them on later in the year if I can find time to do them, as they are a maybe from me at the moment.

Great to see everyone's crafts coming along, love the Xstitch - would love to be able to do them myself but I'm not that gifted

ReformedShopaholic

Have pretty much finished the scrapbook. Just a few captions to add once we get some more colour ink for printer. But everything else stuck in and finished.
Here is the front of it and the first page. (to all cross stitchers please excuse my first ever attempt at cross stitch being a little naff and I never did unpick and re-do that little corner were I had sewn the wrong way )
Sorry for the size of the pictures, cannot get them any smaller.






So hopefully that can now come off my list as completed.

just popping in to say hello - well done everyone on your projects, looks like you're all ticking along nicely. Mrs-Moneypenny your cross stitching is beautiful - loving the dragon. You have all inspired me to have a go at cross stitch - it's something i haven't done for a very, very long time! Just posted my 1st finished project to SIL - a shawl for her birthday and am pleased to say project number 2 is halfway done (another shawl for aunties bday) I am having hot flushes now over the hand-made card I plan to make for a baby's 1st birthday - cardmaking is totally new to me too so I'm desperately trying to find inspiration - its a leap year babe 29th Feb so very unique!!! right off to get inspired!..........
