No.2 is finished!! http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1781.jpg I will never use wisper again. It's slow to work with, gets up your nose, the back of your throat.... Sewing the backing on and making it up into a banner will only take a day, thats a job for the weekend. On to Fire...

C-F, i just go by the colour of the beads...hehe. I've seperated them today, backed one with vylene ready to sew some cloth on the back, and done half the beads of the 2nd. They're going to be banners to hang on rods like the rest of my Christmas pics. No.1 http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/St...

I've just got no.1 completed.. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1775.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1776.jpg ..i'm doing any more today, i'm quitting while i'm ahead. I changed my mind about doing beads along the bottom of the angels skirts, cos i h...

Ha, aye that a moot point M, do angels even have feet?! They make their feet look like they're stuck out on an awkward angle too, a bit like the shoe is on the wrong foot. I made a start on the wisper this morning, its not too bad to work with but i still don't see its appeal. I'll see what it look...

Thanx for your comments everyone :wub: There's just one minor flaw with them....a slight design error. You can't hang them in order of season because 1 or 2 of them are facing the wrong way. We tried them out every which way, they don't look right at all back to back to each other which is what the...

Here's the beginnings of the beading and back-stitching.. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1767.jpg ..the bugle beads for the candles take up 4 stitch spaces, not 3 like it says on the pattern, so some of them overlap the stitches a bit. All the long stitching on the tree are ...

I had a look back at the date of the first pic too, Nettie. Should've had these done by now.. They're still a surprise, but only just! She sent me a text very early yesterday morning, saying she's coming round to drop off my birthday card. I replied quick 'don't come til after 8am! we've only just ...

Doing the same one twice isn't so bad Liz, i did one in triplicate once, never again! Mind you, this pic has a lot of beads and back-stitching on, which the trippy didn't. I've never got any sewing stuff from e-bay Glen, Sarah Gixxer does, she's the one to ask. [I'm gonna check out your leisurecraf...

I'm on the home run with this one, at last... http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1760.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1761.jpg ..i've started putting away colours i've finished with! I got the big chunk of green around the baby's head and Santa's colla...

The two little baby Jesus's are done, the halo's look like mohican hair-do's...... or roman soldiers helmets...

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e386/StephanyNJC/DSCN1757.jpg The bottom half is finished, yay; its been a long haul. All the threads i ordered the other day turned up yesterday, i've since run out of another 2 greens. I popped into our local shoppe yesterday morning, and the shopkeepers twirly s...
