My latest update for BD, his face is taking shape now

Wow that is amazing. Is there much else to stitch below the nose?

Thanks, there is a row of pages below his nose, its mostly the snowy ground he is laid on so should be nice big chunks of colour

Hello girls,

Sorry I am only on quick and sorry I have not been about.

Been working really hard of late - taking some leave over Christmas and New Year, so got a ton of stuff to do before I finish.

Still plodding on with my autumn sampler (will try and post picture later) and the learning sampler. Have printed off the twisted sampler - don't know as yet if I will do it next year or not - got another couple of ideas of what I like to do and what materials I have.

Keep well everyone, better get wrapping hubbys presents (I spoil him as his family don't send him anything from USA, so I buy him lots of wee bits so he feels loved).

Oh talking of USA - the shop Jo-Anns is selling DMC 30cents (approx 18p) each - need to find a floss fairy.

Got a Thank you card made and am halfway through the next one,

JCS wow that blackwork is amazing. It's really striking and I can't believe it only took you five evenings.

FOS - lovely idea to have the 14 in 2014 in memory of Soulie. I tried last year but failed miserably so will try again this year.

Quick question, if anyone is around and not manically doing last minute xmas stuff, but I am wanting to start a hoard of cards this year but I am unsure what to keep the finished cards in with their envelopes so they don't get muddled. Does anyone have any ideas or ways they have of doing this?

Thanks

what about something like this:

or if you want to wrap each separately, those plastic "sandwich" bags with the seal or zipper across the top, then keep them flat in a box ? I use both these for storing various crafts, either materials or finished items.

Just want to wish every one a very happy Christmas,
hope Father Christmas brings you all lots of lovely goodies.
Stay safe with all this horrid weather,
Merry Christmas everyone xx:)

Nmm - BD is looking great.

Happy Christmas everyone. I hope Father Christmas brings everyone at least one thing they have asked for.

Hugs to all that need them.
