Ed Hedgehog

I am taking a break from stitching my westie and decided to stitch the hedgehog from the latest issue of World of Cross Stitching magazine. This is my progress after a week.

Christmas Tree!

Just a photo of me with my tree :-)

Christmas cards

The last of my Christmas stitching! All free kits from magazines.

Christmas tree craft

Just some close ups of my home made tree decorations.

Heart Sampler

This is a design from the latest issue of Cross Stitcher. I fancied doing something in one colour although it was blue in the original design. I will turn it into a hanger.

Santa decoration for a friend

Here is another Christmas decoration I made. I'm going to give it to my friend at work who knitted me a beautiful Remembrance day poppy.

Recent finishes

So recently I have done a little bit of Christmas stitching which I love. I bought some charts from a craft fayre I went to which is where I got the design for the Christmas present card from. I bought Krenik metallic threads to use on it and they were so fiddly! Took three times as long to stitch with those.

I then stitched one of the free designs which came with Cross Stitcher magazine this month. I don't normally buy that one but they have nice designs at Christmas tine.

Lastly my sister's boyfriend is graduating next week so I have adapted a design from an old magazine. I'm going to put his name and degree title on it and turn it into a card later today.
