Hello again!
This is the small finish I mentioned in my last post ~ Winter by The Stitcherhood. Stitched on 18ct natural aida with WDW & GAST floss. I plaited some #8 perle cotton for the hanger.
It was a very quick stitch.
And this is the back ~ simply finished with just my name and the year.
I really enjoy small finishes, especially when they are finished with back stitch/whip stitch. It's so simple to complete ~ although this time for some strange reason I back stitched with 2 strands of DMC which I kept splitting when doing the whip stitch ~ won't be doing that again in a hurry.
Now onto the exciting mail ~ this arrived today ~ it's from my partner in the Spring Bookmark Exchange on the Needlecraft Haven Group. Sadly this is all I can show you at the moment as we can't open our envelopes until 23 April ~ which is ages away yet!
I have told myself that I do have enough energy and will be off to Zumba class later!
Enjoy your evening.
Kate

A lovely finish Kate. I'd be so tempted to have a little look in that envelope!
Nice finish, Kate, tried Zumba, not coordinated enough! Whoops, I'm meant to be encouraging you, aren't I?
