This just keeps getting better and better! It's lovely!



I'll get my special bot poking needle out and I'll threaten him into good behaviour! THEN, he can go play with Jilly's cat. That should keep him busy for awhile.

The flowers are looking great! I really love the blended range of colors! So lovely!

Great work is the angel gloria and pat? i should post a few of the ones i have done i need to take pics of them first. i love the angel one but i love lavender and lace and butternut roda and TIAG and mirabilia for big projects and do some small ones when i deside i dont want to finish it then when i finish i get a new lease on the project and then finish it.

Absolutely beautiful. Love the colours

The flowers are so pretty! Your stitching looks great!

Well "Hibiscus' is finished

Here is the final flower finished:

And the finished project:


I have also made a start on my lickle teds for my invites and before I joined this forum I wouldn't have even thought about changing a pattern but now I decided that I didn't want him sitting on brown half stitches so I combined one strand of one of the greens with one of the brown and I got the first one finished yesterday:


After finishing this piece I decided that I wasn't that keen on the mottled effect provided by using 4 colours for the bear so I am going to drop the white out and replace it with the cream (so there will only be 3 colours in the bear) so I started on the second:

And now I have to all the cream I have stitched because I put an extra stitch into the bottom row and all the cream is based off that bottom row.

Your finished project is so beautiful! Well done! I'm sorry about the I hate it when that happens, ugh.

The flowers are gorgeous!
I love the way you have pllayed with the Ted pattern to suit your own tastes as well. I must admit, I do that as well and find it really makes it feel 'your own'.
Well done!

nice finished flowers... i love the teddy glad to see i'm not the only one who make pattern changes. that way we can say we made it off the idea of tatty teddies. it's true if you change things to personlize its.

how many more teddies do you need to make? he looks great also

The flowers are beautiful and I love the changes you have made and are making to your teds! Sorry to hear about the frog -- I hope he'll stay away from now on!

All up I plan on making 10 invites as that means I have one I can put away for myself.

I think has been around a lot recently as we have had a few rainy days here, hopefully he'll move on when the rain goes away....

Beautiful flowers!! I like the changes that you've made on your teds.

Those flowers turned out fabulous!!!! Lovely

So glad that you are making the changes to suit your own personal preference.

The second bear is finished:

although some of his backstitch is out of line (because he is sitting under my qsnaps at the moment) but I definitely like him better using the cream.

I have really fallen behind on this though - I had hoped to have 3 or 4 done by now but life has gotten in the way (plus my own stupidity...) On Monday I got an email from my mum saying that my uncle was in town Wed-Fri and would I like to go over for tea one night? Well I said yes, then I got the stupid idea - why not invite them over to have dinner at my place instead? So instead of getting a night off from cooking, not only am I now doing the cooking, I have to tidy up my unit as well!

Such a great finish on the hibiscus!!! It's so lovely!!!

...and I very much like your cute lickle ted! ...I should say that changing the whites with cream is really effective

Teddy looks great and the cream coloring is very nice.

Lovely colour! Cute teddy too.
