Koala coming along nicely, another days work should see it finished. Just need to do the bottom few lines, the gum leaf and flowers in the top corner and some outlining. Very pleasant and relaxing to stitch as well.

Since I last posted pictures, I have done nothing on the lady with the doggies, and have not started the second Blue Wren picture yet this is because my cat insisted I start "Garden Door Kitty"..about 1/3 done


Imagethe finished one should look like this

http://www.dimensions-crafts.com/produc ... oduct=3832" target="_blank

but then I got bored so did a couple of xmas stitch, probably will be made into decorations. I usually end up doing a bit of embellishemnt, charms, brads, glitter ect..will decide at the time.

I have finished the koala for my friend, i have two more to do...they will be made into cards

Image

and I did this, finished, ready to get framed..it is by Dimensions, Jiffy Sunset Kit..Pocketful of Posies. It has gold filament and beading around the edge. You can see it at the top, but not at the bottom cause I am a bad photo taker.

Image

My photos are bad, I am sorry. But you get the idea...

Now I have some mes to clean up, just finished the posies not long ago so have to put all that away, and then I may get into the doggies, not sure yet..will see hoe I feel.

I am hoping to finish the second blue wren, the garden door kitty and the lady with the dogs by the end of the year..hmmmm wait and see.. :wink:

well, since kitty has been very naughty tonight, it has been moved down the list! Naughty kitty caught a lizard, ate lizard, came inside and vomited it up on carpet :x

I had to clean it up :roll: :cry: :ratherbe: , so as punishment she can watch me stitch doggies on the french lady for the next few days. :wink:

I like the kitty one - I've had my eye on a similar sort of design (from Permin, I think), and I like the posy one too, and the rest - you have been busy :D :applesauce:

I really liked this from the first picture, but now I like it even better! It really is lovely and I just love all the beading, embellishments and pretty stitches, plus nice shading ... Yes, I think we can safely assume I like this one! :lol:
