This is Mirabilia Morning Glory.Stitched on 14# Zweigart Vintage Green Aida, with DMC, Krenik and Mill Hill.
Both were a pleasure to stitch, the stitching on each took around 5 days and 2 days more for all the beading.

Heres a HAED I finished on Tuesday and framed yesterday along with another HAED.
Both were stitched on DMC White 18# Aida with DMC Floss. They took roughly 3 weeks each to stitch, they also had very little confetti stitching which was fantastic.

Well today has been a sorting out, making up kinda day. My Fibro has shifted for bad to worse so i havent been able to do much. I have been finishing off making some ornies. this is from a Round Robin I was in in 2008. Ive added some Dress It Up Buttons and lsome Bells and Light Strings I had. Im very pleased with it. Its a shame it can only be out in December though I want it all year!
The design is Christmas Reindeer by Lucie Heaton stitched on 14Ct Aida with DMC Flosses.

Finished all 10 Trees last night just need to wait for my camera batteries to recharge then I can post some piccies. really pleased with how they have turned out, they only took 2 hours ish to stitch so was quite chuffed.Still havent decide how Im going to finish them but Ive got 20 days to decide.
I have these Key Fobs leftover for sale. hte can be used as keychains or as Scissor keeps. I find them great for scissors and it has a keyring clamp, you put it on the scissors and the open just enough to cut the thread but not enough to cut the fabric or person!

Ive just ordered these 3 Mirabilias from the states. Ive never done one before but I have loved Fern and Tigerlily since I saw them. Holly is a new release and I think its only right that I should treat myself once in a while.Ill let you know how I get on.
At the moment Im working on Name trees by Helga Mandl for christmas, I have 3 to do then the set is finished. It takes around 3 hours to complete a tree. Im using Variagated threads to the effect is brilliant and unique. Pictures to follow soon.
