I have got quite a lot done since my last post on both Ice Dragon King and Woodland enchantress. I have also started the first of three advent calenders for my youngest grandchildren.
First, here is Ice Dragon King
Next is Enchantress, Now complete, she just needs framing
Here is a close up of the gold couching detail on the edge of her skirt
and finally the first part of one of the advent calenders
Thanks for your comments everyone. I really enjoyed working on Enchantress but I am so glad all that backstitching is done
I am hoping to send for the Afghan material next week so I can add that to the list. Rosemary has very kindly sent me an alphabet chart that is perfect for it and I am looking forward to starting that
That was a lot of stitching! Well done.
I have seen Woodland Enchantress before but it never fails to amaze me how beautiful she is. And you did a fantastic job on her.
The advent calendar looks soper, too, I am sure it will provide a nice change from the other project.

Well I am glad to say I can finally get back in to the SAL after having no computer for several weeks.
This is the Afghan for my expected grandchild
and here are a couple of close ups of the motifs
I have part of the Whale motif to finish and that is all I can do then until we find out what gendre the baby is, so I can put his/her name in the centre squares.
And these are the advent calenders up to now
with a couple of close ups
Hope you like them.
