Thank you all for your lovely comments on the carousel horse :wub: I also feel a bit better about the owl with everyone's positive comments as I was very unsure if it would look good or not :shock: It's a terrible photo from on my phone and in dreadful light but here is the very beginning of the owl...

This couldn't be looking any better Sally!

Me again :wave: I thought I would share my next project with you all but don't hold your breaths for progress as I haven't had much stitchy time lately :tantrum: As you would know from looking at my previous projects, I like to experiment with different colours etc. So I am stitching this barn owl.....

Hi! :wave: I have finally finished my Halloween Carousel project! There was lots and lots of back stitch but it was worth it as it brings the detail out.. It is actually stitched on a pretty lavender aida but this photo was taken on my phone and it doesn't show up the colour of the fabric. Here it i...

Thank you for all of your replies! :wub: I am not scared of snakes but this guy was a little too big! It was quite funny, whilst my partner and I were watching him/her he made a wrong move and fell off of the windowsill and I can tell you that made us move back very quickly!! :shock: :lol: Thank you...

Sorry Sally but I believe it was a carpet python.. Totally harmless to humans but huge and not something you would like to stumble upon when you are not expecting it!! :shock: :lol: Spangoid, wow, what amazing colours in your snake! Lovely and a shame you don't have it anymore :? Snakes aren't every...

I've just been catching up on this thread. I love all of your work and your taste in patterns. I especially love the Kooler carousel horse piece. I would love to do a quilt made of all her carousel horse pieces cross stitched in the center of the quilt squares. I just keep telling myself some day I...
