If all goes well, as I have now finished the stitching, should be able to get the card off this weekend. So far, the cats have shown no interest in chewing the blank card. I expect that to change the second I make a mark on it... :?

Regards,

Richard.

Oh Sally what can I say? Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a beautiful Christmas card and also for the gorgeous Birds of Australia mini calendar! So useful and full of lovely photos! My sister lived in Perth, WA for 7 years before moving back here in 2019 so I can't wait to show her too! I enjoyed reading your note and I really hope you manage to get your perfect family Christmas! Lots of love Nicola xxx :hug:

I enjoyed stitching that one and when I saw the small calendars I had to buy a few. I keep 1 in my bag so I can write down any outings/special dates etc. So pleased it got there in such a short time, well done Royal Mail.

Serinde, your card is on its way to you.
Like a complete nit, I forgot to take a photo before sealing the envelope, so I do hope the Post Office doesn't lose it!

Regards,

Richard

Carole, your card arrived. Thank you, it's amazing.
I can see it in front of me, and I still cannot believe how TINY the stitches are. I will try to get a photo as soon as I can. My camera needs daylight...

Regards,

Richard.

Richard, I’m glad you like it. It took just about 2 weeks to get there too. I don’t know about anyone else, but I enjoyed this Stashmas even more than exchanging gifts.

OK, see if this works. My first PostImage Image

I have no idea what stitch count Carole did the image at, but it makes 28 count seem big & unwieldly, with a single thread giving fantastic coverage. The quality of the work is devastatingly good. I have never seen anywhere near as good in my life. You're fantastic Carole. Thank you so much. I shall treasure it.

Regards,

Richard
