Yesterday it was just Keith and I and we decided we were just going to spend the day relaxing, which for me meant stitching. I finished Charlotte just after lunch. She wouldnt quite fit in the scanner so there are a few stitches out of site at both the top and bottom. Also there is a big shadow down one side where I had to fold the fabric, but I think you get the idea. I am thrilled with her. She was started on the 6th November 2006 and finished on 26th December 2007. Amelia will be taking her place in my rota.
I had said that I was not going to restart my rota until the new year so thought I would do one of the small VS Beyond Cross Stitch hearts I had for Christmas. I got England and Holland and I decided to do England first. We have been over at my daughters this afternoon as the poor lamb is feeling really ill with a cold and high temperature, I felt awful leaving her and was tempted to bring her home with us but I think going out into the bitter cold might have made things worse. Anyway when we got home I sat down and finished England so I can show you that too.
I am going to do another of these International Hearts next but this time I am going to do Scotland, which was a Christmas present from last year. With any luck I might just get another finish this year.
Thank you again to all the wonderful people who visit my little nook to take a peek and sometimes leave a comment. It is so much appreciated, after all without your visits this would just be a diary and no more, so thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Charlotte looks lovely - well done! and I love the little heart. Sounds like you had a good Christmas - a shame your daughter was unwell.

Charlotte looks just stunning Helen and the little heart is just beautiful. I´ll be looking forward to you starting your rota again. I am working on rewamping mine. I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful Christmas card you sent to me, I love it.

Charlotte is gorgeous, Helen, and England is brilliant. I've got this one to do so really must get it out in 2008!
Hope your DD is feeling much better now.
Can't believe how busy you've been & how much I've missed! Charlotte is stunning & the England heart is so sweet. Well done on the finishes. :0)
Wow...I love this heart too. Did you do one from Wales and Ireland too. I would love to do this one too.
