About time I showed my face again....

First of all, my latest piece for Karen;s Cross Stitch Meme

A fun idea, this time the theme was the colour green! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to join in this time, but as we were a little late starting, Karen has given us an extension until today, so I am just in time.

I spotted this little fella last night and couldn't resist!! As I stitched him on a spare piece of 6 by 6 inch fabric, I think I will mail him on to SOLAK. He was so much fun to stitch, and he only took a few hours.

Other stitching I have been working on recently:

I stitched this piece for Friends to Seniors. Lavinia is 96 years old. Her daughter requested an angel theme, and I thought this plump angel would make a fun addition! Also this week, I have decided to try to make a little progress on some UFOs while the summer weather is hiding away...I promised myself I would work on whatever piece I came to first when I opened my UFO box, and was pleased to see this one:

This was my progress on July 17th, I am trying to stitch on it for at least an hour a day, until I get bored of the dreaded blending filament and hide it to the bottom of the pil!! LOL - It's a pretty piece though, and will be worth it in the end (I hope!)
