Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hello all, I've not updated here for ages although I have been stitching away. I've also learnt how to crochet, so I've been making a granny square blanket for Dexter

But here's the main 2 I've been working on - Birds & Seasons is for my OH's Gran's 90th Birthday - I need to get this done for November.



And the HAED SAL SK Trick or Treat - 1 page done.



And I can't update after so long without a photo or three of Dexter:

Watching Cloudbabies (his most favourite show):


Walking with his daddy:


In the garden:

Welcome back! You've been very busy. I love Birds and Seasons. Very pretty. And congrats on finishing the first page of the HAED SAL. Well done!

Thank-you for posting pics of Dexter, he's such a sweetie!

It's good to see you again. Sounds like you have been pretty busy. for both projects. They are looking very good. Birds and Seasons is lovely and I am looking forward to your update on this one. Congrats on finishing page 1 of the SAL. And I LOVE the pictures of Dexter. What an absolute cutey he is!

Sandra

welcome back!

Those are some great updates!!!!! What beautiful work and your little one is just adorable!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone

I'm going to try and post a bit more regularly in the future! I might need some motivation on the Birds & Seasons - I do love the design but I have to do it for a deadline and even though it's a few months away, I'm not good at stitching when I have to. So I'm not to stitch my Trick or Treat until at least the robin is finished!

Oh, here's a link to the finished design:
Birds and Seasons

I'm looking forward to stitching autumn the most so will probably leave that one until last.

Great work on Birds & Seasons! I also have a couple of things that have upcoming deadlines (as well as other things I just want to stitch for myself), so I understand the feeling!

Birds and Seasons is beautiful and good progress on your other piece. Your son is adorable.

Great pieces!

Birds and Seasons and it looks as though you are almost halfway through it too. I am sure you will finish it in time for such a momentous occasion.

Great to see Dexter and his Daddy too. He has grown a lot - as they do in childhood. Enjoy him.

Hi all, another update on Birds and Seasons - more than halfway through now I'm trying really hard not to stitch anything else (other than greetings cards) until it's finished... we'll see how long that lasts



And of course the obligatory Dexter photos!

Here he is doing some knitting with some wool he took from my stash bag and tangled up, and some chopsticks:




And settling down for the evening with his sleepy bear, cuddle pig pillow and willo the wisp dvd:

Beautiful update on your Birds and Seasons!!! The pictures of Dexter are just adorable!!!

The birds are coming along wonderful!!!!!!


And what sweet baby pictures!!!!!!

The birds are really coming along nicely and they'll be beautiful! I am working on a project for a friend (she is actually giving it as a gift) that has to be done for Christmas. I should have no problem doing it, but it is taking me away from my other projects. I feel like I'm cheating on them!

Dexter is adorable!!!!

Beautiful! Both the birds and Dexter!

Beautiful! I especially love the Birds & Seasons. Absolutely lovely!
