Thank, @realale .  He started off as a butterfly but changed his mind.

I really love these  <3
I looked at you tube to give it a go, but it is really difficult trying to watch the waffling on and finding where you want to be with OH and two cats not letting you.  Need volume too much  :laughing:
So I gave up but will watch yours with interest :thumb:
As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Think this is definitely finished now ( unless I add more flowers. <sits on hands>).



How are you getting on, @Cazlyn ?  Are you in the Facebook group?

@Pearl that looks lovely.  Yes I’m on the FB group as Carolyn Pannell Smith but haven’t posted anything yet as I’m still on my sampler, a bit slow here!  I’ve been collecting bits and bobs from the charity shop I volunteer at and have a nice little pile of fabrics and bits of lace.  I’m hoping to start the bunny piece tonight.

I thought you’d be well placed on the charity shop to pick up bits and bobs.  I’m looking forward to the beginning of car boot season too.

Very nice @Pearl I’m way behind, still working on my bunny.  I’ve started the sampler but not finished that yet either - it is slow stitching after all

So far so good.  I haven’t finished either of them yet but thoroughly enjoying the sewing.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]    [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I haven’t finished my sampler either, @Cazlyn , but I’m just going to practise any new stitches before I do them on my monthly block.  This month, I’d like to make a bullion rose, so I need to do the bullion knots on my sampler first.

@Pearl that’s a really good idea I may do that too.

I’m also planning to include a dandelion clock, inspired by this mug rug, a pressie from @Iminei
