coxy, framed rudolph is great, love the aperture colours the framer picked. Sorry to hear about your DH job, good luck in his search for a new one if thats what he wants I'm sure haberdashery shop understands, haha you'll get back to it, we wont let you forget.

daisy, the dragon stitch looks very cool, but thats alot of blended colours, i hope your sheet system works well. Great progress so far.

dal, brilliant start on When Winter Wanes, just googled it and it looks amazing, cant wait to see the rest of it.

nannygladys, congrats on the finish, i look forward to your photo.

Last weekend i finally completed page 4 and the top half of seascape, sorry for the late posting. I was shocked to realise i've been stitching this project on and off for 2 years, i thought it was only 1 However it will be completed this year, i promise. Also a friend from one of my knit & natter groups might be joining us soon, so hello Pam if you're reading this

Drawingaline, charly and nmm, all looking really great.  Heres my Saturday progress, 1 more week.  Some backstitching done, finished the wing, there were loads of half stitches in the wing, more of one of the towers.  Its good to take a photo as I often feel I'm getting no where but seeing the proof is good.

did another tile on my Delft project.

I have also gridded up all the kits I have, and sorted all the threads out for them. I have also costed up the fabric I will need for the patterns I ordered with my Xmas money. And then bought another pattern 😬 I have also found a localish group that meets once a month in our town so I went along and was invited to join their SAL that starts this Friday. I just have to chose a pattern from one designer and I did find one I liked. Not sure I can justify it though. 

Need to order some more threads too......

Hi everyone, I've now managed to buy the last skeins needed for the Xmas picture and my even weave came to it looks very different to the Aida I've used before! I ordered a frame to put it on whilst stitching and it was due to be delivered today, I have been out this afternoon and the parcel apparently has been 'delivered by hand' to me whilst I've been out !!??  It isn't in the designated place so I'll have to phone up to see where it is - a bit disappointed really but it's not as if I was going to start it tomorrow but it's still annoying, there was also a book in the same parcel and I was looking forwards to having a look through that!! Oh well it'll get sorted I suppose 🙁
I have photo envy of all your lovely work, you are all very talented.

@Coxy11 so sorry to hear about the way DH has been treated at work, I hope he finds resolution quickly. Loving the sound of the crochet.
@nmm the seascape is slowly taking shape and looking great. @Drawingaline and @daisy_1571 great progress. I love the blue and white, very eye catching having such a limited palate.
Stitched the border for February and making progress on the retirement gift. I do need to finish this in March if I can and then start on the love cats. I was going to change the colours but stuck with them in the end.
