English Rose

Hi Everyone :) I was looking at my English Rose chart and there are 16 pages!!

OMG! 16 pages to this project

and here is what EACH page looks like

So I think English Rose is going to be a long project, what I plan to do is take breaks from it every so often and do some smaller and faster projects like these,

Tailwaggers only take a couple of weeks and are fun to do and I also have

popcorn from one of my magazines to do and also

this cute fat cat :) I cant even remember where this came from but was probably a freebee from one of my magazines. 

So just to let you know, English Rose will be an ongoing project ;)

 happy stitching :)

Delivery day

Hi all :) Today was delivery  day..the day the postman brought my English Rose chart that I ordered. I cant wait to get started on this project, I just love these colors, I will have to check my stash to see what "extra" colors are needed, I have every color DMC have made including all the metallics that I haven't had the pleasure in using yet but with this project I think a few extra reds will be needed...  

lol

My Stash drawer ;) 5 box's of DMC threads

happy stitching :)

Paddy

This is Paddy

I made this picture in cross stitch a couple of years after Paddy passed away.

this was a photo of him that I had made into a cross stitch chart. it took only a couple of months to make and has pride of place on the living room wall :)

Scruff

This is "Scruff" one of my favorite projects,

I have made this picture 3 times now and should know the chart off by heart lol

I first made it for myself, then some friends saw it and loved it, so I made it again (twice) for birthday gifts.
started Jan 11th 2008 - finished 1st Feb 2008

happy stitching :)
