Amanda & Carole, so am I curious as to what I am going to cross stitch next!!! I have out my Chatelaine, My Angel of the Morning (L&L) pllus a Dimensions kit A Treasured Time - lovely wintery scene with people skating on a pond.

I was sitting quietly early this morning pondering on what to start then remembered I hadn't started SOTW SAL yet and then ooopppsss I need a card to be in the mail by Tuesday at the latest and no hardanger ones done. So guess I will be doing some hardanger for a few days :D :D

Patience all, all will be revealed when I know which I am going to do :D :D
Mind you my Sweetheart Tree packages will arrive this coming week too.Decisions decisions.

Here are both Mabel's SNOWFLAKE designs plus one of Mabel's SOTW SAL with the addition of another kloster block.

Image

Very quick and easy to stitch and it was a lot of fun doing them. There will be more but done on another colour of fabric- really don't know what I was thinking of doing them on the grey 25 ct Lugana.

Done mostly using perle#5 & #8 although I did do the pink centre in a Prescenca Finca #12.

Dratted picture is turned around now in photobucket but not when I transfer it. :tantrum: but now at least you can go see it right way up if you click on it.!!

Thank you for looking.

:applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: Each one gets its own :applesauce: I especially like the pink one but then the gold thread in the blue card just sparkles. Beautiful!!!

Belated :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: on the Isabella finish -- those tiny tiny stitches in her face and arms :shock: . She looks beautiful!
The cards have come out really well too, I especially like the way the one in the pink card picks up that shade in the stitching.

More hardamger. This time it is a Sweetheart Tree Teenie 1V which has taken much longer than I thought it would.

Image

It is such a lovely one and I will most likely be doing several of it with probably some variation in the colours.

Done on 25ct Cashel Linen (love working on it) oatmeal. using DMC 315 316 520 522
Perel #8 & #12 in DMC 822.

Thanks for looking.

Not sure what to start next though. Watch this space.

That's lovely Sally :applesauce: :applesauce: I know what you mean about what to stitch next as I've just finished my Christmas cards and exchange ornament and feel at a loss :(
Have quite a few of Mabels designs to choose from but must have a look at Sweetheart Tree.
