Finishing off the year with some more finishes! 30 December

Carole you can find the NEN group on FB here - I would hate for you to miss out !

Thank you Amanda! I have put in my request to join the group. For someone who doesn't love FB I belong to an awful lot of cross stitch groups.
If I kept up with them all I don't think I'd ever have any time to stitch. Posting about stitching probably takes more time from my real stitching than anything else does.

Ooh - this gives me a chance to thank you for your you-tube videos! Totally restarted me as a x-stitcher! Whole else would you recommend on you tube?

I love your HAED work and also the hand dyed threads you use.

Welcome back and thanks for sharing your beautiful work. I love the variety of designs and styles. The Little Red Riding Hood ismy favorite...or maybe the Picasso...or the Twisted Band...oh heck, I just love them all! Off to your youtube channel now..I've been following it for awhile...well done!!

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

Thank you Myst!

Who else would you recommend on you tube? Q

Thanks for watching Quietmind! There are a few of us on "floss tube", but some of my faves are Aysh @ Sticky Stitch, McKenzie @ The Lovely Array, Jessie @ Jessiemariedoesstuff and Jan @ Threadgarden - probably because we like and stitch the same type of designs. There is also Stitching Mae of course (formerly of this parish) who sort of kicked the whole thing off .

Thank you Debby! Yes, my taste in most things is rather eclectic to say the least - stitching being no different! For a second when I read your comment I thought I'd stitched a Picasso though I would have remembered stitching Guernica - then I realised you meant my little cute Pablo!

Here's my update on Hortus V - it does get a bit tedious stitching the same thing four times, so instead of picking something else up, I'm doing a bit of stash reorganisation as I've just taken delivery of some more of Mo's silks! This one should be finished and beaded by the end of the month .

How very pretty!!! As for Mo's threads---enjoy---I have a couple of her silk threads and love them---but I have a LOT of her hand dyed cotton threads---some of them are awesome!!!

[Rose]

That is very pretty!!!!!!!

[Mrs Milkybar Kid]

Thanks Rose! Karen - I'm addicted to Mo's silks, I think there will be a package every month finding it's way to me.....oops!

[rcperryls]

This is beautiful! I am so glad to have you posting updates here again. Especially such very pretty ones.

Finished Hortus Viridarium on 22 September and to the horror of many it has now taken up residence in the Drawer of Finishes!

I've also finally made a start on Crimson Fire Sampler by the Victoria Sampler after having the Elements series in my stash for the last two years!!

[karen4bells]

Congrats on a beautiful finish and I do hope it won't stay in the drawer of finishes for too long!! I love the start on your new project!! So brightly colored!!!

[RosemaryD]

Those are both so beautiful! Congratulations on the finish, it is stunning.

[rcperryls]

Beautiful beautiful finish!!! Won't say anything about the Drawer of Finishes since i would have to plead guilty to having one myself.

Love the new one!! Looks like it will be lots of fun to stitch! Updates on that one please!
