That is such an adorable finish on the beagle. Our neighbors have a beagle and, unfortunately, leave it outside alone most of the time. The poor thing howls and howls and sounds like a crying baby. Beagles are so sweet and enjoy lots of personal attention.

I can't wait to see more of your nativity. I also enjoy that magazines can be digital now. It makes storage so much easier.

Thanks for sharing your pictures! :D

Thank you all so much, please excuse that I am answering so late...

AlwaysGoofy, this is so sad to hear! No dog should be left alone for such a long time! That's why I have a cat, they don't need that much attention but of course still need to be cared for, although they are certainly more independent.

Desiree, thanks a lot for the compliment! I have never tried stitching on anything other than Aida so I think this will be a completely different story.

Thank you lavenderbee :D

Unfortunately I had nearly no freetime until today, hence I did not touch all my other projects. But today I started the Spring Ring by Alicia Paulson, it's my first time stitching on linen and I'm loving it so far!

That's a beautiful start on your project. I really like the fabric. I don't like working on linen, but I do love the finished look of pieces stitched on linen. This will be a really sweet piece when it's done.

Thank you everyone :D
Carole, this is stitched on Zweigart 28ct Cashel linen, I think the colour is called "light grey". It really is a lovely fabric to work on!

And I already have a finish! As today is Mother's Day in Germany, this is a present for my dear mother, I hope she likes it.

One more step:
