The owl which I stitched between Christmas and the New Year:



A couple of cards:

   

It's Mini Hobbit's birthday today:



And Dearle's Golden Lilies is progressing better than I expected - I'm about one-third of the way through:



I'm also doing a little knitting.  This is the back of a sleeveless top I'm making for Mini Hobbit, using the wool they bought me:

Pretty!

Your new big cross stitch is coming along wonderfully.

Thank you! Yes, I was surprised at how quickly it was growing, which may be because I've stitched more than usual on a number of days - it all depends what else I've got on. At the current rate of progress I should finish by Easter, which allows for not doing anything on some days.

Fabulous! That's much faster than you originally thought, if I'm remembering right.

Yes, I was thinking August when I was struggling with the pattern at the start, but now I'm getting to grips with it, it's easier. Which is good, because it means I can begin the Klimt this year.

Double yay!
