great progress

maybe you could make her a card with "I would love to stay in touch, here's my phone/email...."

He's far too big to be a bookmark! Looking great though

What a shame about your sewing shop, definitely a good reason for some more stash spending though to stock up!

He's looking good!

Shame about the shop

This is coming on great. Perhaps you could meet up with the lady from the store for a stitchy session sometimes

Here is my latest installment... this is over about 4 nights of stitching.... I think I'll have about a month left of stitching and it will be finished.



thanks so much for looking.

Looks great!!!!!

You're doing a great job on this!

Wow, you're getting there! Looks amazing

Sad news too...
My local little sewing shop is closing its doors on 31 March.
So sad as I have got to know the owner really well and we have quite a friendship going.
Maybe we should swap phone numbers.
Anyway she is also having 40% off in store so I've bought up a few DMC colours. Sewing machine needles and cotton etc.

Mine closed a couple of years or more ago. There isn't another one in the city that I've been able to find, either. It's so sad. Then stitchers have to get stuff on-line, so more little shops have to close down... it's such a shame. Mine had a framing service, too, and I've no idea where to look for framing any more. A local shop that does photo framing has shown a mild interest, but not sure if they will be able do any for me.

Treebeard is coming on wonderfully, though!

for Treebeard

The end is so soon! finish it

Tree Beard is really taking shape and will soon be all finished.

Shops closing down are a pain. My local quilt shop has gone now, so it means 2 buses to go get DMC threads. Not found an embroidery shop at all yet.

Is Hands Craft store up in Papanui/Bryndwr still there - I used to get a lot of supplies from there - especially after Ballantynes went out of craft things.

Hope you find somewhere.

Hi Squirrel yes Hands Craft store is still here and is growing..... Has scrapbooking section now and a quilt section... not just dolls and x-stitch like it used to be... its exciting and so close to me.

ok everyone I have finally finished Tree Beard!

I put piping around it and backed it with the same material.

Hubby says it definitely is not a bookmark. Have no idea what to use it for though..... lol usually my creations are functional.

oh there is a slideshow on my blog 36sec of progress to music.... http://artycrafty.wordpress.com

and the picture...

Wow! Congratulations! You really got a ton of progress done is such a short amount of time! It turned out amazingly!
