Happy belated anniversary for yesterday. It was our wedding anniversary also. A little behind you though at 30 years. Lovely stitching.

Oh my goodness Vanessa. You are so speedy. How do you do it? And you don't even use gridlines. Fantastic work!

Hi- I did this a few years back for my great niece and didn't have a problem with the thread. It came out great. I had it framed in a lovely wooden frame just like the one it's advertised with and it was gratefully received by the parents. Lovely stitching.

Looks fantastic. I started this about a year ago but other things have got in the way and I've not done so much. Yours is lovely.

It does! That fruit actually looks real. Beautifully stitched

It's lovely Debby and so beautifully stitched. I love these Christmas stockings and have done two. Makes me want to do a third!

Simply stunning. You should be proud of yourself. Fantastic work!

You've done a great job Debby. Simply stunning. And the framing is fabulous and so unusual. Really sets it off.

Absolutely stunning! A work of art

Thanks for your lovely comments and help everyone. Yes we are enjoying Lettie. It's so wonderful being grandparents

Yes she is our first. So excited. I'll post an update when I've done some back stitching. Thanks all

Oh yes what a good idea. I never thought of that and I've lots of floss in my stash. The brown just seemed too harsh. Thanks so much. Got to get a move on with it if it's to be ready in February.

Hi all Sorry I've not posted in ages but I've been lurking and admiring all your wonderful work. Anyway, I've been keeping busy - I've crocheted a ripple pattern afghan and have just started Dimensions Toy shelf birth record (going to be a grandma in February!) and everything's been fine until I sta...

Oh my goodness Carole how sad. Thinking of you and Laverne

Niki that's a beautiful photo. Thought of you as soon as this happened. Hope stitching this will ease your sadness.

Yikes Carole I wouldn't have left the house until it had gone!

Here he is. Isn't he cute? Sorry photo is so big. Don't know how to shrink.

Wow Debby wouldn't like to have met him when I'm out walking!

Oh dear snakes give me the creeps but last Sunday whilst walking Bo our lab in local woods we found an abandoned pet rat. I threw a dog biscuit down to see if he was tame and he grabbed it. I picked him up when I realised he was friendly and stuffed him in my coat. When we got home we put him in the...
