    The photo doesn't actually show it properly, the beads etc. I'm really pleased with it and quite chuffed with myself as it is my first attempt at adding beads, ribbon etc. Now just got to look into getting it properly framed.

    Hi

    Does anyone know the name of the pattern/kit that has A to Z of needlework? I remember a while ago seeing that someone on here had done it and I loved it. Itchy fingers looking for a new project!

    Thanks

    Hi everyone,

    fos/beg - thank you both for your advice re. evenweave for the silver wedding piece. I received the chart and threads on Friday so will make a start once stockings are finished. Luckily the anniversary isn't until September.

    beg - the anemones are lovely and look really good framed. You've made a great start on the sheep. Love the cushions.

    JCS1 - love the sheep framed picture. Your framers is very speedy. My pieces always seems to take 4 weeks :( The kitty stitch is looking good too.

    nmm - lovely mothers day card and BD looking good as always - nope not tired of the updates yet ;)

    *BigBird* - hi and welcome :D If your stash only contains these 3 items then you are doing really well :rotfl: The collecting daisies kit reminded me that I have 3 Jannlynn kits that are similar - collecting shells, daisy girl and girl with cosmos. Will get to them one day I'm sure.....

    Mrs ceejay - love the peacock, beautiful design

    Sweetcarer - sending you lots of hugs. Sorry your sister is being so difficult. The learning sampler and stitch book are coming along great.

    Ailsb - well done on the crocheting. I made a scarf last year and it regularly gets nice comments.

    Ayeshalush - love the golden wedding sampler

    I will post a pic of stockings in the next post. Laptop won't speak to photobucket for some strange reason so I have to use the ipad. It's getting there.... :)

    Haha, I think my stash might grow quite quickly! I really must stop surfing the web at lunchtime, I've found a brilliant Monty Python pattern that I really, really want.

    I love your stockings too, they're coming along well.

    Your sampler is beautiful Ayeshalush

    Hello everyone, haven't posted in a while but I have been reading and keeping track of everyone's updates.

    There are some really lovely finishes on here :T

    I have been stitching and here is a picture of my Mother's Day card, it was a design out of cross stitch card shop and didn't take long at all.
