    Those are beautiful Mrs ceejay! I love the snowmen designs - where are they from?


    I've posted my Christmas Exchange, so hopefully the recipient will have it sometime this week, fingers crossed.


    I've done some more on Girl with Cosmos (pic to follow). Hope to finish her by Christmas so I can start the New Year off with a new project :D


    Have a good evening all.

    It is so pretty,it seems a lot of white,I find its just as hard to use white as it is to use red,have you a lot more to do?

    The snowmen are in the "the world of cross stitching"issue222. I don't buy magazines very often so it was more by accident that I found them,I have made them inti little bags and filled them with chocolate pennies.

    I don't know what I fancy doing next year,quite fancy doing a geisha,have seen one called kimono geisha heirloom x stitch kit,will have to see.

    evening everyone,

    lovely update pics, and I cant wait to see what you all receive in the post this week :D

    Haven't taken an update pic this week as have been busy and not managed to do much stitching.

    For some reason I seem to be clearing out the cupboards, drawers and spare room with a passion. Spent this morning going through my 3 boxes of cross stitch stash (2 large and 1 small box) and managed to reduce it all into the small box :eek:

    Have realised I may have a small obsession with snowmen....I found another 4 charts I had forgotten about....

    All the free gifts from the magazine's that I know I'll never stitch have been opened and I've removed all the aida, threads, embellishments and needles. Any free gadgets have gone in the charity bag and everything else is in the bin to be recycled.

    Feels rather scary but liberating :rotfl:
  • Just to confirm my exchange has been posted first class this morning :j

    Looking forward to seeing everyones pics.
