sweetcarer, your stitching is beautiful.
Enjoy your holiday, newthrift.
At last here's the pic of my 25 bags for Beads of Courage. I made 16 of the bigger ones and 9 of the smaller size. Some still need cord.

I also made some recycled Christmas cards.

Hello everyone hope everyone is well this bank holiday weekend? I am posting on here for help and advice. I am looking for a stockist of a cross stitch kit of a unicorn for a leaving gift to a much loved colleague.
Can anyone recommend a link? It cannot be too easy or cute but also not too complicated as she makes slow progress! Was thinking of a bookmark but not able to find anything online and ebay have patterns but would like to buy new.
Many thanks for any help in advance

Thanks everyone. The gruffalo was originally meant for my boys room but it goes so well with the colours in my living room (lime greens and browns) I think it's got a new home where everyone can see it lol xx16 projects in 2016 - 5/16
