Love what you have bought Mabel. Nicola, love the bee kit but sorry, Harry the Hare has had a bad Hair day, obviously he got wet & can't do a thing with it @rotfl: Usually I do like all their designs but not this time, sorry. Will look forward to seeing you stitch him though :D I got the newslet...

Love the bling Mabel & Nicola how wonderful to have those ] gifts. Enjoy both of you look forward to seeing the in use as you both work on your projects!

Great piece finished Wendy. Really lovely & the stitched frame round the edges makes it different & also adds to the appeal. Well done on finishing this lovely hare. So glad your own hare turned up as well. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: Look forward to seeing this framed. Sounds lik...

Thanks for replies :) Garnet, sounds pretty noisy with all those birds honking, calling & mewing at the same time. Seagulls are a pain aren't they, often think a cat is mewing somewhere but it is the gulls. Neighbour has 3 cats although they are not usually noisy, often wonder if they've got stu...

Wonderful project, great stitching.

Can't wait to see what you do next

Totally amazing, cannot believe how quickly you are ding this Vanessa. IT truly does not look like a cross stitch, & even more amazing is the fact it is dark colours.

Look forward to seeing the lantern too.

Just gorgeous, so warm & cosy just looking at it. About your neck - why, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you will look great in this

More pretties, there's lovely. Really beautiful Garnet

Love that Linda, so pretty

Sooo cute & pretty Garnet. How clever to make those tiny things. Have patterns for similar things but not done anything that small. These certainly make you smile. :applesauce: :applesauce: Hope you are feeling better now it is not nearly so hot but I did see on news that Hawarden was warmest pl...

my stash, something that needed doing! Several pretty charts I have put in wallets along with threads needed & the Aida so all ready when I want a new project. At the moment am going to start the cute M Sherry dog one. After persevering with Lakeside Village felt I'd like to do something frivolo...

Thank you both. Does take a bit more time with more strands of thread even though only half stitches but final picture make you realise it was worth the struggle.

Thank you both. When next I pick this up will find another route to work through this design. A shame you felt that away about the design Wendy. I do not mind blends or fractionals. There are blends in this & I have done café by the lake - I call it Riviera Café but think proper name is Overlo...

Thank you both. The humid weather didn't help some nights only did a few stitches but will go back to it later on. Maybe I'll have to move lower & get other colours in before I attempt blue greens & blues again. I was hesitant about the background hills before I bought this & waited abou...

Thank you both. Yes Wendy 5 strands of thread for the half cross stitch. Some in blue were 4 strands, others 3 strands. It makes the background hills look 'tiered' as in real life. This pic is obviously paler than actual working colours but it shows the various shades of greens & blues. Denim, l...

Latest, denim blue at top is 5 strands in half cross stich. There are 3 blues in top section & I have had to put it aside for a while, got headaches doing too much blue & green. Will find something else to do before I pick this up again

Been wondering which crafting accessory members would not like to be without? I think needle minders are a godsend, recently had one as a gift & it is wonderful. No more wondering where I put my needle :D There are so many things on the market nowadays & I wondered which item of theirs membe...

Glad your FILs funeral went as well as they can do & glad lot of memories were shared, it helps ease the pain. Hope you are MIL will be happy in her new home, a lot fo work for you but once she is settled it should be less worry for you knowing she is n a safe environment.

Roland this is an adorable picture, just love it. So bright & cheerful as well as being very neatly stitched. Can't wait to see the rest of it

Fablous, just fablous! very detailed so a lot to look at. A wonderful piece of work Serinde, very well done
