Finally I have some actual stitching to show even though it is only little cover kits from recent issues of World of Cross Stitching mags. I decided it was better to do a few more 'simple' small items than continue to struggle with these darned Christmas Stockings.

I am also waiting on a gorgeous cute birth announcement with a 'border' of Australian Bush Babies (as in koalas, kangaroos etc.) What is even better it is so cheap and I will have it tomorrow to print off my computer. It pays to check the designers web sites as often they sell direct as well as in shops. I will post on the Acquisitions site tomorrow.

Lovely cards...just right for those 'in between moments' whilst the weather or the health won't stand big complicated projects. :whoop:

They are lovely cards and beautifully stitched, Sally! I also like the fact that they are very different from each other and can suit different recipients: the Rose is a classic card, a little Deer is a cutie and the bird has a "Spring feel" to it. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

As promised the cover picture for the Australian Bush Babaies Birth Sampler is now up on our Deliveries and Stash Acquisition thread.



I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt it is the smoothest, fastest acquiring I have ever had. Dealing direct with the designer is much easier and quicker.

It does make a difference, doesn't it, when it is so simple to order! ( a bit dangerous too...LOL!)
