Finally, I've managed to upload photos on Photobucket, so here's the new project. Lavender & Lace Celtic Christmas.

Another sparkly stash!

and here's progress since Friday

I'm stitching 2 over 2 on 28 count natural linen.
For those moments when I'm seeing red I've got my lovely girls' Mr Men months sampler

January and February were done before Eastern Promise was started

I'm picking Eastern Promise up from the framer's on Friday. I'm dying to see it framed!

for your Celtic Christmas start. That is going to be lovely.
for your calendar. What fun that will be.
I am going to look forward to watching the updates on both of these.

great start on both projects! I love the celtic Christmas!! Your little rose for your scissors is adorable too--gives me an idea to stitch something up like that soon!!

You have made a wondeul start on the Celtic Christmas. every time I see her I think how beautiful she is.

You calendar is fun and very different from your lady it should give you a good relief when you need it.

Great start on both of your projects!

Celtic Christmas will be lovely. That's a favorite of mine.
My kids used to love Mr. Men when they were little. It brought back memories.

I can understand you "seeing red" too often and needing a break from it.

Love both your projects and they are so different. The sampler is so bright and colourful.

aww - i love both of these... .wherever did you find Mr.men calendar??? I may have to hunt one down for my nephews- being raised in US by an English mum I grew up with mr.men but have a hard time finding them here.

I love both of these. Been looking at the Mr Men one for a while but don't know anybody who'd actually appreciate it so think I'll wait until I have children of my own.

I'm not normally a fan of designs with people as the focus but Celtic Christmas is really nice. Looking forward to seeing your progress on it.

A lovley start on Celtic Christmas..and I love your Mr Men calendar,it's brilliant

beautiful projects!!!

Those ladies are a lovely series, looking forward to seeing your Noel develop!

Two lovely projects. I especially like the celtic Christmas, very festive

Celtic Christmas is lovely - very elegant
And Mr. Men will make a smashing change from it when you need it.
Great starts on both

Lovely start.. Celtic Christmas is such a gorgeous design!

Beautiful projects!!

Celtic Christmas is stunning, I love those colors and your start on it

And Mr Men Months is fantastic, too =)

Here's an update



I've not spent as much time as I could have done on this lovely lady, as I started to do my UFO on 1st October. I've got so engrossed in it that I'm changing its status from UFO to WIP. It's called The Gazebo and I started it off on the UFO club thread. This is progress last time I uploaded photos onto photobucket.



I've done more since the photo but we've been having MAJOR computer problems at home so I can't get online as much as I'd like. That also means I'm missing out on what everyone else is up to Hopefully we can sort it out without having to spend vast amounts of (non-existent) money!
