Bassetluv's stitches - Od Magic HAED Feb 16th

Post by bassetluv »

Hi all - I love looking at other people's works in progress, so I thought I'd share my own. Recently I've been working on the Dimensions kit Oriental Orchids. My 6 year old son picked it out for me for Christmas (with my boyfriend's help) -- I usually give away the stuff that I make so they wanted me to have something to keep for myself. I started stitching it a few weeks ago.

So pretty.

And very nice that the two men in your life bought it for you to stitch.
