I've finished "Mine!" by Brittercup Designs. I found it in 'Just Cross Stitch' under "Sneak Peek". It was the July/August 2010 issue.

It was International Hermit & Stitch Weekend over the week-end, so I got down to some urgent stitching. It's my friend Mel's 50th Birthday and I will be seeing her on Tuesday to give her a special Hardanger Birthday Card. I got out my "Flowers with Hardanger"
by Mary Hickmott, and chose to do a variation on one of her designs,
using one of the motifs from a cushion. In the Hardanger corners I did
spider's web filling and diagonal dove's eye filling for the rest. I
used my own colours from my stash. After making up the card I used some
old lace and yellow ribbon to decorate the card. I'm quite pleased
with the finish. I hope she likes it!

My next finish was "Toby Fox" from Cross Stitch Card Shop. He was a free kit from the magazine. He's one of the "Woodland Folk" by DMC. As usual I forgot to read the instructions. I should have used 1 strand of thread/floss, but I automatically used 2. I did run out of thread/floss, but I had plenty of my own, so was able to finish him.

Until Next time, Happy Stitching Everyone
