    Hi all

    Not been on for ages as I have been busy sorting the garden when the weather has been good and then the housework when the weathers not so great. Mind you I still don't seem to have totally caught up on either but there was the Easter Holidays in among that lol.

    Really loving all the completed works, they are all so beautiful and an inspiration to see. Clearly a lot of talented people on here.

    The good news here is that I finished my cross stitch project for MIL's birthday and she loved it. Only snag was she came down early so we had to frame it quickly so that she could take it away. It was only after she left that I realised I hadn't taken a photo:( but at least it was finished in time which was the main thing.

    So now onto some army vehicles for DS1 birthday. List is completed as follows:

    1.[STRIKE] Lickle ted - a little love - currently stitching this one for DH for valentines (feb 13)[/STRIKE] completed
    2. Stargazer Lily - want to do this and make into a cushion for mums birthday (Mar 13)
    [STRIKE]3. Flower and herb ABC - planning to do MIL name (Apr 13)[/STRIKE]completed
    4. Going in to the Military - collage of army vehicles for DS1
    5. Friendly Dino's - for DS2
    6. A taste of India - elephants for Dad for his Birthday (jul 13)
    7. Penguin doorstop
    8. Boys names in polar bears for xmas stockings (Dec 13)
    [STRIKE]9. Easter cards - 4 small mouseloft kits I have had for eons (Apr 13)[/STRIKE] completed
    10. Finish a WIP I have had since 2004:o Winnie the pooh and Eeyore.
    11. Xmas cards - several mini kits and freebies from mags to do (Dec 13)
    12. Mini projects must do 5 to complete includes bookmark for DS1, plus 4 others from my stash of mini kits and magazine freebies 1/5 completed
