    :hello:
    I have just caught up such fabulous things being made.
    ROZV - that turtle is amazing!
    sweetcarer - the bands are fab!
    bmma - those blankets look goregous!

    There is very little crafting been going on at this end, we seem to be so busy at the moment. I do hope to get a quiet moment soon to do some more crafting, but for the time being I keep looking at what you have all made!
    Well done everyone :T
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Thanks bmma.

    Hmm, I don't use photobucket, so I may have to try it. I use flickr.

    Look for the share this icon. I've found it appears in different places on different devices but it's always there. Select BB code. Copy the code and paste it into your message here. I usually use the medium size

    Love makes

    Hello everyone,

    Hope you are well.

    Got another wee update for you all.

    Band 9 of the twisted band sampler is complete - so now over halfway there :) - doubt if I will get it done for the competition I entered last year, of which I won best craft in show for my floral alphabet, so have to think which one to use of my other stitches I have.

    Anyway here is band 9.

    Here a close up

    Also I forgot to show you my latest stitch for my wee stitch book - sheaf stitch - done two different ways.

    Sheaf stitch
    109_1371_zpsd08f07b6.jpg

    Away to make a wee cuppa and decide what next - should do some on my learning sampler but finding queen stitches difficult to do on 36hpi, so going to do a wee variation of them. Oh and I am halfway there with my blue stitch at work but can't take a photo of it - no cameras allowed at work - work in a secure location.

    Keep well

    sweetcarer ;)
    :j cross stitch forever, housework whenever :j

    love your work, sweetcarer. No wonder you have won a best in show before.
