Georgena's round robin

I've managed to get Georgena's round robin piece finished - only three days late :(  I probably shouldn't have signed up for a round robin right now, but that's typical me!  Have already received the next one - Santa!  I like Christmas stitching, luckily :)  The blues are actually a much deeper shade, can't get my camera to co-operate though!

Recent goodies received :)

My postman is thinking it's my birthday!!

Today I received TWO parcels - one was a lovely ornie stitched by Deborah, my exchange on the I Love Cross Stitch group. Also a few Six Strand Sweets threads - they're gorgeous, and so summery!! Thank you SO MUCH!

I also received this lovely little fob from Mylene in Texel - my prize for the April ILCS Ornament SAL - she is so clever with these miniature fobs!

THANK YOU again!

I also recently received this lovely summery biscornu from Toni - another swap :)  She also sent me some lovely floss - Madeira this time.

It's summer!

Or at least this ornie is :)  I've heard that Deborah has received this, so I can post a picture now!  Mill Hill of course - always my favourite - this is the first of these with the ribbon bow that I've done as per instructions, as I thought it would be tricky.  In fact it wasn't hard at all, and as always Mill Hill give such great instructions it makes it easy.  If you click on the picture, it should give a better view.

Oxford - progress at last :)

At last some progress on Oxford!  I got fed up with all the green, and put this away.  One of my groups has started up a 100 Stitch Challenge - aiming to put in one hundred stitches a day on a piece.  The challenge for me at the moment is putting it down after a hundred stitches and doing some revision!
