Hi Rosewings... glad you chose to join this very friendly and encouraging family here at crossstitch forum. You won't be disappointed or have to feel alone again. I'm a newbie from New Zealand (very isolated) and reside in very small town so joining here has not only enabled a connection with folk w...

Each of the characters is 'a finish' in a sense and oh so... cute. The design is coming together well. It's very exciting to watch your progress and a pleasure to be here encouraging you with the project.
Can't wait to see the next report - keep up the good work.

It's small, bright and beautiful Susan... well done. Quite a change from the delicate shades on the orchid piece - all the best with you progress on this one now that you're resfreshed and hopefully feeling a little brighter.
Can't wait to see the next update.

I luv' the coaster idea and design and would imagine working with white thread would make a nice change.
The purple rose is coming along just fine and am looking forward to seeing all the 5 shades blended into the flower, picking it will look very nice.

Your little brittercup kittie is real cute - not many stitches but full of character.... Thanks for sharing it with us. I really didn't realise that a piece stitched from start to finish in just one day/evening, well only a few hours could look so.... good. Looking forward to whatever your next choi...

Just spent time purusing your blog - Awww!! some really lovely work. Must say you're a very fast stitcher with many beautiful pieces completed this year already. Well done and keep up the good work. Lots of variety to. I'm particularly fond of the egyptian piece you're currently working on (probably...

I'm sensing that this is gonna be one of those very special projects/pieces - one that you will have fond memories long after its completion. It perhaps deserves the 'precious' label, especially as you and your son have added that personal touch design wise. The border is fabulous and blends togethe...

This is my hobby Rose..... just for pleasure and for friends as gifts, usually get them framed. I mostly use photoimpact drawing tools. My cross stich work is just an off-shoot of my other passion - pixel painting. My inspiration comes from many sources - free patterns, make my own using other softw...

Great little designs.... wonder which one's gonna be next. The birdie very cute! Me thinks that lots of coffee refills will be needed to get all these done... :wink: :wink: , but if they're for xmas, then you've given yourself plenty of time. Nice to see someone so... organised. Cheers...and Happy S...

My interest in feng shui and tai chi has now extended into cross stitch. This is a real challenging project - ie. to complete all four pieces (water, fire, earth and wood). Each will include a trigram, yin/yang, feng shui art symbols..... This is the wip on 'fire'... http://i302.photobucket.com/albu...

Looking forward to further shots as you are nearing the end and your progress sems quick - well i think so anyway...

Wow! - amazing job and an excellent result. You should be really proud of this Jenny, 'cause we're proud that you managed to complete it.
