It's been such a long time since I posted I'm not sure I can remember what's what! I do hope you're all well, safe & warm.........and not struggling too much in these strange & uncertain times. I've been trying to fill my time crafting.....well, to be honest it's either crafting or eating and as the eating isn't good for either my diabetes or my waistline l'd much rather be crafting. Lockdown has given me the chance to get lots of my unfinished projects........finished! So to share today I have a finally finished cross stitch hoop. I used shades of pink & burgundy threads and stitched on 18 count glitter aida. Once I got going again it stitched up fairly quickly......think I might have to do another in different colours.What do you think?
Rightio, off for a wander around your blogs.......thanks for calling & any comments you might leave. Hopefully it won't be so long 'til my next post.

This is lovely Jo, very pretty.

It's a beautiful cross stitch. I know what you mean about eating. Ugh!It isn't good for us and yet I can't seem to stop the hand from going to the mouth. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteHi JO, what a lovely cross stitch project, beautiful colours and stitching.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about eating and as I have diabetes myself, it's been a tricky 9 months keeping things on an even keel, keep safe, Kate x
A lovely project Jo. I enjoy cross stitching and do lots when watching tv in an evening or when we're away in our campervan.
