That looks great! You've done a smashing job of altering the colours there and it definitely looks more balanced than it would have otherwise :applesauce:

Hi all,
Yup tis me with another update and it seemed last month that The world of cross stitching threw a spanner in the works by adding an extra design for christmas. I loved the poinsettia and wanted to add it to my calender. So i came up with the idea of putting it under the main calender (although i only just had enough room as you can see from the close up.)

So now it's off to do the december one and finish off the bottom half

:applesauce: Looks beautiful. Each one of these flowers is so well done. I wonder what the December flower is because the poinsettia would have been my guess. I like what you did though. Just fits. :applesauce:

Carole - the December flower is the Paperwhite Narcissus. I like the Poinsettia better so I'll probably use that for December instead of the Narcissus when I do mine.

Love the way you've managed to squeeze the extra one on yours Graham. It's looking smashing now :) :applesauce:

Thank you Carole, Narcissus is the december one as the other Carole said and for january it's a pink carnation, which goes well with the rose and chysanth.

Thanks to everyone for your support
