Work in Progress Wednesday - Let's Deck the Halls, Ursula Michael

My Ursula Michael passion hit again when I found this beauty on crossstitch.com  and yes it may only be September but I had to start it.

I choose to go against the guidance (I wouldn't be me otherwise) and opt for various shades of green for the text.  I am contemplating replacing the star with metallic gold.......

A week in and here's my progress...........I am determined that for the first year ever I will have a seasonal work finished and framed for the festivities.

Superhero Afghan - update March 2014

My 2 boys love their superheroes so I bought lots of little pixel people from Pixel Power which I am gradually stitching onto an Afghan for them.  If they are lucky it will be finished before they are 16 lol.
The biggest reason I keep putting it down is because it is SOO bulky.  Hubby has bought me a HUGE frame to stitch it in but it's just not comfortable and I don't really like floor frames.

When I put it down, back in *cough* October, I had only 5 people stitched, all have their name stitched with them.

I picked it up again last week and since then have managed:

  and  

and a square with Noahs name and date of birth on.

London Underground Cross Stitch - a work in progress 14/8

Progress update - 14/8/13.
Finished page 1 :)

I bought it here.

It's stitched using 1 strand of thread over 18ct aida (lettering in 2 strand) - the smallest I've ever worked with and probably the last.

It's one of those easy to stitch pieces (so long as you are doing the straight lines lol) ..... try doing the diagonals and it's very easy to get confused,
