Now, Siti, you are being your own harshest critic. I'm sure your biscornu is better than you imagine. And it'll get to the post office when it does: you aren't responsible for the opening hours or the time constraints applied by your job. Don't Worry! :)[/quote]

Thanks Serinde for the nice word to relieve my guilt. All the biscornus are very nice and cute too. Shall we coninue this activity ..maybe having some theme of colors, or season etc... :wub:

So many beautiful biscornus! Well done everyone! And especially those who did it the first time in their life! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Siti, as I have told you, don't worry, I can wait, and I am sure it will be worth the waiting. :)

A good idea to continue, I simply love these little sweeties :) :wub:

Karen - please do try...i bet you gonna have fun. I started mine about 5 years ago...and I never look back...but please be aware, its addictive :lol: :lol: ....i always get an inspirational from French stitcher ...I guess they make a very pretty biscornu!...

We should try having other exchange such as pinkeep or needlecase etc...but this will be a bit longer to stitch I guess as it takes time to assemble them togather...

I've found a few really good designs for them that I like, one's an adorable frog design, but my main thing is to find a really good tutorial to explain how to assemble it when it is stitched. I've found one, online but having a very difficult time downloading it, likely my dial up the issue :doh:
