I’ve not done much stitching lately, but I did make some progress Curl Up and the little dragling almost has eyes.

This is looking really great Debbie and such lovely bright colours too. Stitching takes time and we all appreciate that so don't get mad at yourself if you are not as far forward as you wanted to be - it is wasted energy and stitching time. :)

I like the word "dragling" - it makes me smile :-) . And I'm glad he's getting eyes!

Another update - I’m trying to move left to right (with a little down as you can see).

I’ve made a little progress on Curl Up. I’ve bounced around from stitching in the QSnap to a hoop to in hand, and now it’s back in the QSnap. I’m pretty sure I won’t make my goal of finishing it this year. :-?

But, look! My dragling has a face. :wub:

:wave: another hello little dragling from me too.

He reminds me of the Excitable Edgar - for those who don't know Edgar is the star of the new John Lewis Christmas advert, it's about a little dragon in an olde worlde village who gets so excited he can't control his fire breathing and accidentally melts snowmen, sets the decorations on fire and hides away so he doesn't spoil anything else, his little friend brings a Christmas Pudding that they take to the feast and at first all the villagers are afraid, but then Edgar breathes fire on to the Christmas pudding and everybody cheers and claps, it's the type of thing us Brits gets all teary eyed over.

So, anyway back to Debby's stitching, you have made a lot of progress since the last update, I love the colours in this. :wub:

This really is a fabulous design

Well done

I’m going to have to try to find that commercial; it sounds fantastic. I hate commercials in general but always do appreciate the few good ones.

Edited to add: I just watched the commercial and I am totally and completely in love with that dragon!!!

WOW you have made very good progress with this interesting one. Mr Dragon face is so lovely to see - something in the distance has obviously caught his eye. :) A great update Debby. :whoop: :whoop: :whoop:
