Looking great I love these snowmen. I am trying to talk OH into changing the printer for one that has wireless capability so I can print some of the free charts I have seen too!

I was hoping to sneek up the finished piccie without Rose noticing - but I guess that's not possible now with her waiting there on the magic bench!

So here's the finished Indian (just finished about an hour ago!)

And the wavy border:

And finally what you've all been waiting for: Ta DA!

A while ago I mentioned the new project that I was going to be starting at work. Well it's been slow going as most of the section I have done has been confetti stitching and I was finding it frustrating so I have decided to take it home one weekend soon and spend a day getting further through it.

Anywayz here is a progress pic:
Image
This is the first time I have stitched on black fabric and I haven't found it too hard (but I worked out that I don't tend to look at the holes when I am stitching, I more feel for them if that makes any sense at all :? )

This is what the finished project will look like:

What a lovely design -- right from the start it's just popping off the fabric!

Well it's been a while since I posted anything here (mainly because most of my stitching has been done on my HAED!).

Friday night I finally got finished the little project I've been doing at work (took it home to finish as only had the backstitch to do). I gave up on doing the Wildflowers at work. With all the confetti stitching I felt as I was getting nowhere stitching when only doing half an hour on it a day. I will pick it up once I've finished my HAED at home.

So this is what I have been doing instead:
Image

Also on the weekend I finally gave into the urge to start the Margaret Sherry alphabet that I have been wanting to do for a while.
I did the whole A on Saturday
Image
and started on the B on Sunday but :ribbit: visited in a big way. I had started the B on the middle right side, worked up to the top, across to the left side, down the left side across the bottom and then tried to work up the bottom half of the right side only for it not to line up! Works out that I had missed 2 rows :doh: around the middle of the left side so had a lot of :ribbit: to do. Sooooooooo instead of getting the B complete like I had hoped I got managed to get the first colour complete just before I went to bed.
