I have just received all these goodies in the post for having my letter published in The World of Cross Stitching magazine. It includes: a Lickle Ted kit and chart, a chart of two sisters on a sofa, craft creations baby girl toppers, some flower buttons and a DMC countryside chart book. Can't believe how much they sent me!
This is the first stitch I am keeping for myself! The pattern came from a book I was bought by a friend for Christmas. I started it back in December and have come back to it in between other projects-it was my mission to complete it this half term! It's now sitting pride of place on my shelving unit.
Here is the fishing boat I have been working on for Father's Day! I am really happy with how it looks in the frame and mount. Just got to wait a few weeks to give it to him!
Here is a picture of the anniversary card I stitched for my parents. I used a kit which came with a previous issue of The World of Cross Stitching magazine. It was my first experience of adding beads to the design, I'll definitely give it another go!
Here is a picture of my progress so far on my little sailing boat. The background is mostly half stitches in pastel colours whereas the boat uses full stitches in bolder colours. I don't know if you can tell from the picture but it's on lilac aida too! The plan is to give this to my dad for Father's Day.
