Thank You all for your lovely words and encouragement. I have started a little Christmas one but youngest son came for a visit so that was the end of the stitching session for the day. A real plus to catch up with all his news though and a wet day today means I can settle inside with crochet and stitching.

I know it is not stitching as such although the little ornament for Brooklyn was stitched before my op. I just put it together since then :lol:
The card was also made at the time of the putting together. The other card on the left is for a friend who has a 60th birthday in early December.

Thanks for looking.

PS I am still being good and not stitching.

Good to hear you are not stitching! (And when did anyone ever say that on this forum :lol: ?) Fortunately making up ornaments and cards (and playing with stash) is almost as good as the Real Thing :-)

Glad to hear, I had a frown on my face as I saw that you posted some stitching but it was soon released when I saw your gorgeous little owl. She is adorable!
The birthday card is fun and glitzy, perfect for a special birthday.
All of them, special cards! :D

HURRAY :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: I did about 90 - 110 stitches on the cat motif this morning so his coat is now finished and I am doing his lower body. Then my eye felt rather warm - in spite of a cool "breeze" so I quit to do some knitting for a while. Hopefully a bit longer at it tomorrow. :tizzy:

You must be delighted. But don't push yourself too hard now. (Well, faint hope.) :D
