    With all the beads and things, I suspect the pictures on websites don't do it justice.

  • Dress Makers Daughter kit looks absolutely beautiful, not sure I would have the patience! :rotfl:

    I needed a change from the black and white of my border collies so stitched this little cup cake, the 'icing' is stitched in pearlescents and it was awful to stitch but it does give a good effect once finished.
