Toni's WIP: Butterflies

Post by toni99 »

I'm sorry I wasn't able to visit our forum frequently. Been very busy with so many things. But it didn't stop me from stitching. After a long day, it feels refreshing to do some stitching.

Anyway, here's what I am doing (I've been alternating this with a big pattern which I will post sometime soon):

Image

And here are some finished projects that I saw in our local needlecraft store that I am drooling over (please scroll down to the middle, under finished cross stitches that are for sale). I have the patterns and itching to start on them, but I know that if I do that, my UFO's will pile up:

Happy stitching everyone! I miss you all :)

Your butterflies are gorgeous and such great colours too.

Oh it would be wonderful to go into a shop like your local needlecraft store - it would be heaven.
