Hopefully you have all had a lovely festive break and now we are about to start on our new project - a new part series which will take us into March 2020.
Thanks so much for the many lovely pictures that you have sent through to my Lesley Teare group; stitched pictures from my last two SALs for 2019 and of course, my first part series for an Xmas sampler.- please do come and join us if you haven't already: https://www.facebook.com/groups/529145740484076/?ref=bookmarks
The latest Cross Stitch Gold magazine 161 has just been issued with a lovely black labrador puppy designed by Jenny Barton on the cover. It looks really soft and cuddly. My design for this issue is quite Spring like with a picture of a blue tit with its nest so we can start looking forward to next year and warmer weather in our Northern hemisphere.
It has been stitched beautifully for the magazine by Jan Hazeltine.
Hope your week has gone well. Just for me this is a couple of weeks to relax slightly, but I thought a simple design for that last minute stitching might not go amiss. Please use what colours you like, and of course, I always love to see the stitched outcome.

Wonderful! We are now at my final chart of my Xmas blackwork part series for 2019! It has been a really exciting project to do and it has been lovely seeing all of your progress and pictures.
There will be new projects starting in the the New year but till then I will be adding a few more comments on a Wednesday up to Christmas. I do hope you have enjoyed all of the designs I have added this year and...
This simple, yet striking design is the one I have worked on for Lakeside Needlecraft for their Winter Cross stitch book 2019. It is full of exclusive charts from 60 worldwide designers. Do take a look as it would be a lovely idea for a Christmas present whether for a stitching friend or perhaps spoil yourself!
Hard to believe that we are now on the last few sections of my Xmas blackwork SAL. All looking really good and I am so pleased to see all of your pictures of your progress. Thank you.
This time it is for part 12, a stylised snowflake, which I hope you will enjoy stitching.
