Thanks for the lovely comments
I decided to treat myself to a new start as I've had a finish. It's just a small one so won't take long.
This is the stash for it.
And this is what I've done so far.
It's nice to stitch something small and simple so I'm thinking I might finish this one before carrying on with my other WIPs.

And it's another finish. I think I'm on a roll
This is the Flower Sampler Book from Jane Greenoff of the Cross Stitch Guild. It's taken me about two years, on and off and has lots of different techniques in it, some of which were new to me.
In my blog post, I've made a gallery showing all the pages inside. It's
here if you want to see them all together
Thanks for all the encouragement I've received here while I was working my way through this

I love that Flower Sampler book!!

So clever...and quite intricate. A real labour of love!
Did you buy the kit for that, or did the pattern come from a book?
I've got Jane's latest Sampler book and I'd like to do the box in it one day.

It was a kit. I bought it at the craft show but it's also available from the CSG online ->
here I've got the Strawberry book on that page to do too, but that won't be for a while

Miss Peepers is coming along nicely.
I should finish her off before the weekend and then just need to decide what else to stitch. I like having three on the go, so I can have another new start

I saw the kit for it on the CSG site....but £55 for the kit is Waaay out of my budget

I like the strawberry sampler too. I shall just

over the pictures.
Thanks for the info.

First off CONGRATULATIONS on the finish of the lovely Book

It is really beautiful and going to be so useful over the years as a reference work too.
Great update on the Miss Peepers too, just love those colours and on lovely fabric too.
