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!

Welcome to our house
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.

Fishing boat framed.
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!

Anniversary card
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!
Little sailing boat
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.
