  1. Oh my, Emma, all of these are very big projects. You seem to love big projects, don't you? Just like me. I will start a couple of real BAPs but haven't included any HAED designs. Yet. But I think I will, lol.

  2. All are very nice projects!! High tea and row of cats are cute. Looking forward to see your progress:)
    I find it difficult to stitch in darker shades like the one in Mini the Black. Is that black background stitched area or is it a black fabric?

    1. Mini the Black the whole thing is stitched, that is ALOT of 310! But will be a good project for when I can't concentrate :)

    1. Hi Mii! I'm actually stitching Lily on some hand dyed fabric from Crafty Kitten called Love in the Mist and stitching with DMC 823 (a dark blue)

      This post from last November probably shows it at its best colour in the second picture http://myitzycreativecorner.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/haed-stitching-ad-running-news.html
