Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone

Happy New Year to you all. 

I have a finish to show you.  It's the Margaret Sherry "Hedgehog with Daffodils" free gift, from 'The World of Cross Stitching', issue 225.

Margaret Sherry "Hedgehog with Daffodils"

For 2015, I’ve decided to stitch a cushion.  Originally it was a SAL of 'Delft Blue Tiles' in 2012, which I found on http://creativeworkshopsfromhetti.blogspot.co.uk, and a new chart was produced each month.  So, I’m slowly stitching the outline of each square and have started the first motif.  Here is what it should look like when it’s finished.

When I have some photos of my progress I will share them with you.


We have had some snow which always looks so pretty but can be quite hazardous.  I've been snow bound for a week.  Can't wait to get out and about again.

Quick Finish!

Cross Stitcher Magazine has a new freebie by Margaret Sherry called "New Haircut", which can be found here.  It was posted on Monday and I have finished stitching it today (Wednesday).    The most difficult bit was the writing with all the french knots.  And here it is.

More News.  My Owl heart hanging ornament appeared in Cross Stitcher magazine issue 243, and it was also the Star Letter.  Yesterday, I received a lovely large bunch of flowers, which was my gift from the magazine.  Here are some photo's.

Until next time, Happy Stitching Everyone

Let's Bee Friends

Well, I'm so glad to say that I have finally finished stitching "Let's Bee Friends" by Margaret Sherry.  At least he has been one of the easier ones, when it came to back stitching.  I stitched him for the March SAL on the Yahoo Margaret Sherry Cross Stitch Group (MSCSG).  I first started him in June 2010 as he was a free cover kit in Cross Stitcher Magazine 226.  Thanks to the group SAL, he is now finished and not a UFO anymore.

SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

The robins are singing and the Great Tits are in our nesting box.  I'm amazed that we still have Long Tailed Tits in our garden, they have never stayed so long with us before.  Also the daffodils and primroses are starting to come out.
