Christmas was lovely. I hope yours was also. I'm not sure what you mean about changing the date of your updates. If you mean the "main" title of the thread, change the subject date in the first post of the thread, as well as in the actual update post as well. If you mean something else, can you be a little more specific? Regardless of the date, the updates are wonderful!

As you can see my up date was dated 22 11 16 even though i changed the update date to 23 12 16.Have now changed title date. Still don't know if it right. Maybe to much Christmas cheer has dulled my brain.

To change the date showing on your update you need to alter the title on your first post on the thread.

I wish I had got stitchey gifts but not for me. I'll just have to get the supplies myself. :D

After finishing the stitching I started to sew on the beads and look what happened,
Image
As you can see the beads were far to big, Then I remembered I had chosen to do it in 18 count with one strand instead of 14 count over 2. I have had to send for some mill Hill pettite seed beads and hopeful the colours I have chosen will match. will send another update when they arrive.

What a shame about the beads, but at least this is something that is quickly discovered! She is beautiful with or without beads!

So sorry about the need for different beads, but I think you will be happier in the end. This piece is stunning...but I think you already knew that. :D

I can't wait for the new beads to arrive! You must be excited. It is so nearly completed. It will be stunning :applesauce:
I have a project needing beads, how do you sew them on? Sideways? With a sewing threat or DMC thread?
Looking forward to your update :)
