I have finally finished the next page in my rotation: the five page of Fractal Bookmark 268. I have only took a picture of the page I worked on because I want to leave the big reveal of the design till the end. There is only a small partial page left to stitch which I could have carried on with but I was quite excited to get back to my next project which is the final page of HAED Christmas Tree and animals. I am on the last page of this project so I can't wait to get going on it. It is funny how quickly pages seem to go when you are getting towards the end of a project. The confetti was just as heavy in this page as in the first page but for some reason it just seemed to stitch up quicker !?!?!

Happy Stitching Everybody!!!!! :D

:applesauce: beautiful stitching. I can't imagine being on the last page of any of my HAED's so you must be feeling a great sense of accomplishment already. And then this lovely piece as well. Great job. :applesauce:

I have finally uploaded my Christmas stitching to photobucket. I have spent the whole last two months working on three boxes for my family (mum, sister and dad). Despite loads of problems I finally finished them at 11.30 pm on Christmas Eve. All the hard work was worth it, the end results are lovely, even if i say it myself!!!:

After Christmas I have been able to do some stitching finally for myself!!! I finished the Oakhaven Owl SAL and next part of The Great Escape SAL (The Stitch Specialists yahoo group). Here are the piccys:

I do love the new stitches I am learning on TGE and the owls have been really cute to stitch up. I intend to start a new thread for 2012 but thought I would end the last one with the last few bits I stitched up after Christmas. Next time I post I hope to have finished HAED Christmas Tree and Animals, I don't have much left to do and I hope to finish it by the weekend. Happy Stitching Everybody!!!!!

:applesauce: those boxes are great. lovely stitching. Can't wait to see your HAED finishes too. Your TGE is well done. I know some of those stitches can't be easy to do.
