Well I have finished 5 (of 10) cream teddys now:


And I decided that I would finish these with a flat fold tied to the front of the invite(that way the people receiving the invites can keep the cross stitch and not have to keep the invite) so on Sunday I made up the flat folds (to the point where the stitching is added)


The cards I have for the invites are a pearlescent gold so I thought the green fabric with gold stars tied everything together really well.

They're adorable! ...and the green fabric with gold stars is just perfect for it!

I just love the way it's all so beautifully co-ordinated! Can't wait to see it all finished now.

Wonderful. The fabric looks great. Should come out awesome.

Wow, what a project! The people getting these invitations are very lucky, especially with your thoughfulness in providing them with such a lovely keepsake.

very nice work and people are going to be be very luck to have a talented worker like yourself doing all this work also i like the idea of flat worknice touch with the colours very well tought out... well done

Well I now have 8 of the 10 teddies stitched and made up into invites.
The finished flat fold


The finished invite (note I've blurred out my details)


Hopefully I will get the next one finished today (the 10th one is for me to keep) as I am going to hand out most of them tonight at tap.

These are fabulous!

Well its been a while since I posted an update so here's a catchup...

I had the afternoon tea on Sunday afternoon that I stitched invites for (and everyone their invites) and it went really well. Everyone had a lovely time and I received some lovely gifts (even though that wasn't expected). I also managed to start/finish a project that I wanted to hang on my front door.

Dimensions "Sweetness of Home":

I decided to leave out the scattered yellow stitches and the french knots on the teapot (45 blue french knots!!!) as I thought they were a bit over the top.

Dimensions "Santa's Watching":

This is the one I am now working on. I started it when I went down to Melbourne, but put it aside to do the one above.

I seem to have a thing for banners at the moment as I have just purchased this as a companion piece to "Sweetness of Home"
Dimesions "My Kitchen Welcome"

Wonderful news, so happy everyone had such a wonderful time.

The Welcome sign turned out super!!!!! And Santa is looking good. The kitchen sign will be a great addition to our Welcome banner.

Wonderful projects! Glad the tea went well!

love those flat folds! great idea!

the banners are great too!

That banner is going to look waonderful and very inviting !

I like your tea pot better without the knots lovely projects
