The Queen of Hearts and Sea Stars

Sea StarsHere is the current state of my Ink Circles - Sea Stars - I managed to stitch Nessie (or sea snake for those non-UK!) and the lighter blue/green motif in the bottom right hand corner.  Slow but steady progress :)
Queen of HeartsAnd this is a relatively new start - I LOVE Jim Shore's Three Kings - you know who you are who got me into this :)  Before actually committing to buying the materials (and they're not cheap!) I thought I'd do a Mill Hill on fabric - though this one is on aida and I think I would do The Three Kings on evenweave.  So far I'm loving it - though I agree with other opinions, and don't particularly like the Queen's face!

PIF announced! Please participate!!

I was selected to be one of Cindi's Pay it Forward participants (Cindi's PIF) and therefore can offer it to you! So, in the spirit of a PIF, here are the rules:
 
Three participants (if there are more than three people looking to join in on the fun, I will draw three names on Bonfire Night - November 5th)
 
  • The three people selected must host a PIF of their own  
  • I will send something handmade to the three participants sometime in the next 365 days ♥  
  • You as a PIF participant will agree to host a PIF on your blog inviting 3 participants to join your PIF to ..Pay it Forward
Sounds like fun to me !!! I have oodles of ideas of things to make.
  
So ~ is anybody game?
 
Please come and join me and be one of my THREE because I would really love to make something special for you. It doesn't have to be cross stitch that you make, just so long as it is made by you with LOVE. So whatever you want to make for your PIF will be PERFECT!!

Dutch blogs?

On the back of my last entry - I wondered if any of you out there follow/write a blog in Dutch?  We are trying to learn Dutch - not got much further than 'Tot ziens' and 'De vrouw drinkt koffie'!  I wondered if I could maybe help myself learn by looking at blogs that are written in Dutch - not promising to comment - yet - but maybe one day...

Carin has a giveaway!
