Long time in posting lol

Well it's a long time since I posted  lol about 5 years where's that time gone.  Life's been hectic, my brother was diagnosed with cops but unfortunately lost his battle against the disease 18 months ago at the age of 47. Am still crafting for family and friends, but now have a 16 month old grandson Tyler who I adore.  Will try and post more often if crafting time allows lol

Winter Wonderland

Decided I needed a break from larger projects so stitched this. I love the colours on this piece. It's from Cinnamon Cat collection

Stitched by Andy

This piece was stitched by my hubby Andy. It was taken from a Art Deco book. He decided to stitch it on 28 count evenweave one over one. Which I think gives an overall delicate finish.
