More cross stitch...

Welcome to all my Un Finished Objects (UFO'S) or Works In Progress (WIP's). This is one I definitely want to finish, now I've taken it out of it's package and had a good look. All that lace work.... daunting!
~

~

I'd love to finish this one but it's on linen and I think I'd go blind trying. Maybe one day. It would be so pretty.
~

This is a picture of the finished product and how it should look framed up. I even have the beads (tiny) to embellish it with.
~

This one doesn't really stand a chance because it has never been started. Loved the pattern, bought it and filed it away...
~

This was probably appropriate for the 80's/90's but not sure if I'd hang it in my home today...
(Lordy, look at all that back stitching...)
~

Looking at this one, I think if I sat for 15 minutes I could finish it off - isn't that crazy! It's about 18 years old!

Another wild flower one, started with enthusiasm then left for something else. I guess I did do a lot of cross stitches for people of the years as gifts so each one of these UFO's suffered because of a item needing to be finished on a deadline.
~

This one (Wedding Ring Bouquet) is finished but never got framed. Don't know why, just didn't. The aida cloth has discoloured in places now.
~

I loved this one but Kirby never wanted it in her room so it never got framed.
~

It's pretty...
~

This is a really lovely one and I do hope to finish it off one day... a beautiful bouquet of roses up against a lattice fence.

When Princess Diana was tragically killed in 1997, I adapted this pattern
and stitched this small design in honour of her.
~

Diana was my idol from the moment she came on the scene with Prince Charles.
~

This tiny one is stitched on fine linen.
~

This is where I am up to with my Mary Wigham sampler. I have basically finished the first pattern sheet of 9 so I have a way to go yet...
~

There is ecru and white stitching that you can barely see - I didn't enjoy stitching that bit at all.
~

So you can see, I have plenty to keep me entertained. I haven't bought anything since starting the Mary Wigham sampler so that's a good thing. I just need time to sit...
