Working from home:

Wow! The framing makes it look perfect. Very well done.

In reality, there are 8 stitched one after another within two weeks. One was given away before the rest were finished.

Thank you for having taught me that word for the tigers' group, Serinde.

To all who commented on my tigers: I am really happy with all the kind words about the tigers. A word from an experienced and skillful stitcher is worth a lot. Thank you all very much.

The sixth has gone to a good lady.

The camera makes them look as bright as traffic lights. In reality the colours are quieter: DMC 469 and 471, 900, 741, 3855...

Mabel, it is better than vinyl. It is American Darice plastic canvas 14ct white! I was so happy when I at last found it that ordered 10 sheets.

As of today:

I need 3 more, so am busy.

Can't help boasting. Not my typical stash acquisitions, but I did need to buy them some day.

Tomorrow stickers with DMC numbers will arrive (forgot abou...

Fantastic piece of work! Absolutely beautiful and so neatly stitched. Very well done.

Happy Birthday and many happy returns of the Day, Richard.

Nope. It is just me being such a photographer.

Ornaments for the tree. They are too large for earings. The size of my computer mouse.
