February Finishes

There's nothing like being inside when the rain is pouring. You pull a snuggly blanket over your legs, set up a good TV show and stitch away. It's one of my favourite things to do. There has been an awful lot of rain recently, so plenty of time for stitching! I have some finishes to share.
First up, I added the finishing touches to my cards. These were both made from various scraps and threads from my stash. I have a huge stock of blank cards too. I'm hoping to actually use some of them this year. 


And next up, another finished piece. I put the final backstitching into Dolly's Stroll this morning. It makes such a difference to the design.


As soon as I find a suitable frame in one of the charity shops, this little lovely will be pressed and framed. I'm actually quite sad that I've finished this piece. It was such a pleasant stitch. But that does mean I get to go stash diving in the near future! I'm not sure if I want to spend my stitching time making up a few more cards, or starting a larger project straight away. I'll have a rummage and see what takes my fancy. 
I have some Uni reading to be getting on with this afternoon, but you can bet I'll be picking up my needle later on this evening :)
Best wishes to all,

Such cute finishes, Bekca--I don't know where you find the time to stitch with your busy schedule!! Love the cards--I, too, have so many blank cards that I should start using up! I know the recipients will be very pleased :)
