Not quite Wendy but I was having an 'off' day health wise so just sat quiet to look at the chart and once I'd got the threads out I couldn't stop.
Great therapy.

Here's November. I did enjoy this one...when I was able to get on with it. My hands haven't been too great, but getting better now, as long as I don't over do it :)

I'm going to kit up December to take to hospital with me. My little man is going in over night for a tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and to have grommets put in his ears. I know he will be fine and I hope the gorgeous December pattern will keep me relaxed while he's under.

That's really come out beautifully - your woven picots are so even and I love the 3D look of the doube cross stitches, so smooth and shiny!

Hope all will go well with your little man, and that December will help you not get too tense while you're waiting :hug:

Mabel was right when she said December is a relaxing stitch, Heidi.

Hope the little chap sails through the procedure :thumbsup:

I had all that done when I was little too. The only traumatic thing I remember about it was that they were all out of ice-cream the next day (which I'd been promised!). I asked for cornflakes instead which apparently shocked the nurses as they thought that my throat would have been too sore to eat them....

I'm sure your little man will do great. :)

Well it worked. I stayed nice and calm while he was in surgery, all because of this:

Thank you Mabel, and thank you for such an enjoyable project. I can't wait for the next one (hint, hint). I think this last one was my favourite :?

Later in the day as I sort out tomorrow in my head. I want to start stitching December and reading through the instructions about the number of beads to use for the different count fabric I have a question

Does anyone know what count Oslo is please? My guess would be 28ct but not sure thats right and I can't find anywhere which tells me what ct so I get the dragonflies body right.

Thanks for the help :lol:
