Just catching up here, and the sampler is marvellous. Interesting alphabets, too, and the darning samplers are wonderful. Well done! :applesauce: :applesauce:

What will happen when you DO catch your stitchy bug... :thinks: :shock:

So I treated myself to some new starts, all from stash of course :) :

Some of these are further along now, I just haven't taken any more recent pictures.

I also started and finished Wave Dancer by Dinky Dyes using my own choice of threads and lots of bling:

As well as Round Four:

And today Round Five:

Really enjoying my stitching at the moment, even though time is limited - I love the variety in my projects!

Variety is the right word - what a lovely range of different projects! I think those beautiful toning shades on th second one from the top are just gorgeous, and such a great contrast with your more, er, exuberant colour combinations :-D

Those are all beautiful and you've been quite busy with your needles. My favorite is the Waver Dancer - I am completely in love with it!!!! I might have to try to find the chart...it would be a fun one to take on my cruise.

"Variety is the spice of life" I was told as a child and it certainly is lovely to see the variety of your work not only in the various designs but in all the lovely colours of threads too. Well Done Amanda they are all gorgeous. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Beautiful projects every last one. It is good to have variety. If everything we stitched was the same style how boring would that be.

Just a small update this time as I am spending this month working on poor Cinders as she has been very neglected, so just two pieces of hardanger finished this month so far, Mabel's Round Six stitched with Anchor and Jodyri Designs perles:

Image

And A Little Victoriana by Loopylou Designs stitched with DMC perle and Jodyri Designs antique silk:

ImageImage

Loved stitching Victoriana, the chart was gifted to me by the designer herself and also contains patterns for a matching biscornu and scissor case which I must get round to stitching too and finishing of course :roll: :lol: .

Back to the grindstone with Cinders, would really like to get her finished in the next couple of months!
