Great progress

Can't wait to see more of them both! Love the gorgeous rich colours of the lady!

the color really stands out!!! It's looking wonderful

Beautiful work on both!!

Both are looking really good. Hope you get your computer problems sorted out. Computers are great things, except when they aren't working right. And that it doesn't cost a lot to fix either. But I learned you can get a lot of stitching done then.

Great work on both projects =)

All your work is wonderful and I'm especially taken with Celtic Christmas. She's a beauty.

Love your work on both but the Mr Men/Little Miss sampler is closer to my heart cus my mom raised me on the books when I was growing up. I googled Mr Men cross stitch and was able to find several sampler patterns - I'm DEFINITELY going to put one on my "to stitch" list...just gotta figure out which one!

Both seem to be growing well!!!!!!

So pretty! I love your stitching!!

Very pretty stitching on both of these!!! Great updates!

Oh I love this! I would like to do one of these one day, but I am afraid if linen haha

Your WIP pics are all lovely - who doesn't love the Mr Men!!

We finally got the computer sorted out and I feel a right dumbo! 'Switch off the modem and switch it back on again!' What a narner!!! At least it didn't cost anything to fix, it's not perfect, but at least I can get online again.
Anyway, I've been working in the garden.....

I enlarged the pattern and divided it into 9, so I'm a third of the way through so far. I was relieved to have a splash of colour when the green and especially the red appeared. As a little light relief from the tons of confetti (our vicar would have a fit!!), I've been working on the Mr. Men

These two projects couldn't be more different. I would never have thought of having two or three projects on the go before I started coming on here, but it's proving really satisfying having contrasting projects to work on, the boredom of confetti / blocks of colour is quickly relieved. These two projects are taking a back seat for a week or two while I pay some attention to the lady in red. I could swear she's starting to feel a little neglected!!

Great job on the Gazebo. I love the colors of the flowers and the Mr Men are so cute. I have never seen them before you began this thread. glad that you are going back to the Lady in Red though as that is just lovely. I too have started rotating projects since coming here. The plus is that nothing is ever boring so I never have a period where I stop stitching. I just hope I get some things finished eventually!. but it does make stitching more fun for me.

Great updates!

They are both really cool projects!!!!!!

I completely understand about needing a break from confetti.

Both projects are looking amazing

Great progress on both. I really do like the Mr men project, it makes me smile

I've been working steadily on this lovely lady. I adore the way the dress hangs down in folds. It looks so sumptuous!! She's a real pleasure to stitch and I can see me doing her seasonal sisters some time soon.
