Gosh, I had to retrieve this from page 5!
As predicted not a lot of stitching time, and I couldn't concentrate on Frozen Flower so made a start on Flora. It's meant to be stitched using standard perles, but I cheated and used Caron threads
Here's Flora #1
PS various visits, dinners, etc. have all gone /are going well!

Glad all the visits are going well, and that you had time to work on this one. I love those dark colours, they work extremely well together.

Finished the second Flora, in standard DMC perles like a good girl , though I did add beads to the square filets 
As it happens I needed a few birthday cards, so these will fit the bill very nicely!

Oh Mabel! You make me laugh!! 
In the first 'Flora' you said you cheated and used Caron Threads instead of standard DMC Perlé and in this second one you said you were a good girl and used standard threads. Then admitted that you added beads!!
For goodness sake, girl! They are Your Creations! You don't have to explain to us!! We are just your willing and Awed audience!
Anyway...they are both totally gorgeous!
