Cross stitching done, just the backstitch to do:

FOS - It's looking good, did you find that design on Pinterest?
You might recognise my latest finish - I've been stitching this over the last three evenings on a nice wine red evenweave I have had sitting in my stash for about 8 years!




JCS1 - It's coming along well, I love the pastel shades used in the design:T

Looks wonderful though of course i am biased . It's not the exact same pattern as mine. The crown is different as is some of the lettering. Mine was from a XS mag. I also used fabric from my stash Red Belfast linen. Not sure they even make that colour now

The I stitch fast chart was also from my stash. The copyright is 2001 and I've probably had it for 10 years, maybe more. Last year a friend gave me a lot of overdyed threads so I've stitched it using some of those on a piece of linen also from stash :money:

Great to see you stitching again

In progress photo of the little grey bunny I've started (still can't figure out how to get them to turn correctly, sorry!):

Latest BD update, I should be finished the page by my next update :j



Totally off topic but is anyone else fascinated by hoarder shows, I love "watching" them whilst stitching and it always makes me feel grateful my house isn't that bad I was catching up with the hoarder next door, the lady with the rabbits was on and I glanced across at my little zoo forming and thought oh oh :rotfl:

I ordered the threads pack from cross-stitch-heaven which is where I think Louise bought hers from. I haven't seen them advertised anywhere else in the UK though I didn't look very hard as this is a site I have used before.

I am defo interested in the SAL now I've seen the picture. Do I need to pm you?

Thanks for the information about the threads, I've bought from them before. Might ask for these instead of an Easter egg from my hubby

I've emailed Abi about what address you need to join the SAL, when she responds I'll let you know.

My sizzix machine was waiting for me when I get in last night so going to have a play this morning. Have a good day eveyone.
