You like the blingy one, TB? Gosh! :shock: Hehehe.

Here's another update on the Chinese Dragon - managed to finish the sun or whatever it is and the red parts on the dragon and another green chunk of his body. I really love all the bright colours.

Wow, he looks really amazing.

Is this chart from a magazine, Sarah? I have something very similar (which I'm too lazy to look up right now to see if it's the same) which I got out of an old magazine and I'm hoping to stitch at some point :)

Kitty, it's out of a fantasy style cross stitch book - I can't remember the title as I'm at work at the moment but I'll post a picture of the cover of it when I get home.
