My WIP's - Works in progress

This is my second largest design. It is of a photo I charted myself of my brother and his wife on their wedding day, this is my bro's hair lol.
This is how big it is, I have done a bit more than this now but haven't taken a piccie yet.
This is my latest and biggest project to date. It is an afghan blanket I am stitching on for my friends baby. It will hopefully have 9 completed designs of Somebunny on there byt the time the baby is due is January, really have to get my skates on with it.

UFO's - un-finished objects

How much I've done so far.
And this one is for me, it reminds of my 3 children as they all look the right age to by my kids lol, I also hope to complete this next year.
What it will look like when finished.
This is of Classic Winnie the Pooh, for my cousins baby boy.

This is a big design of Care Bears which I started years ago for my daughters bedroom, I hope to tackle my UFO's next year.

Exchanges I've taken part in

And this is another from the birthday exchange I'm in.
A panda card also for the birthday exchange I'm in.
A kingfisher card for a Birthday exchange I'm in.
This is the design I stitched to go in a mousemat for an x-mas exchange, I loved stitching this.

Cross Stitch cards and other stitched items

And this is of the front, I would love to make some more for my new tree this year.
This is my very first pendibulle. Isn't it cute. This is the back of it.
This was a birthday card for my cousin in Scotland.
And these are Wedding invitations and name places I made for my auntie's wedding in 2002. I made 50 invitations and 120 name places.
This one as you can see was for my nan's birthday, she loved it.

I made this card for my next door neighbor when she had a baby boy earlier this year.

Some of my completed work

I stitched this for my mum when I was 7 months pregnant, I stayed up all night the day before mothers day to get it finished so I could rush it to the framers.
This one is also hanging in my mums house. I like to think of it as myself and my 2 sisters, she loved it, it was also the very first cross stitch I did 11 years ago.
I stitched this for a First past the Post competition and won, I received some lovely goodies.
And this one I did for Ty-Hafan, you can really see the detail in the flesh.
