Weekend stitching

I finished my cross stitch last week and I'm so happy with how it turned out. Love working with the variegated thread. I liked it so much that I have started the other version of the pattern in a variegated blue thread.

And always some more DJ blocks.

After some recent dramas at work I'm excited to tell you that I got a promotion......some very challenging times ahead I think. To those who knew, thank you for your encouragement and support. X

Have a great week.
Susan x

  23. Now I'm green with envy, your sampler looks fabulous. I also love working with variegated threads, they just seem to give your work that little bit extra oomph. Also, many thanks for your very welcome and very lovely recent comment about my crochet blanket. The colours are even better in real life.
