I planned to make some Christmas cards this week but getting an image out onto my desk is as far as I have got. A couple of friends asked for urgent cards, then a lady who comes to my cardmaking classes and buys from me at the hospital craft fairs asked for 10 cards and a plaque. So a sort through my cards and I found 7 suitable cards, some just need personalising. It's nice to think some of my cards will be posted out rather than just siting in my stock. I am doubting whether I will be doing any craft fairs this year the way things are looking.
I have been working on this cross stitch for a little while and am very happy with how she turned out. The pattern is from The Little Stitchery, a division of LOTV. She is called Lili Sparkle and should be stitched in pink but I fancied using purple. I used similar colours to the pattern for the rest of her as I have so many threads and didn't want to buy more. I was going to put in her a wooden frame but preferred her in the hoop frame. I will be back with a card tomorrow.

Oh Marianne...this is so beautiful! You did a fantastic job! The work that went into this is stunning! You should do a card to match! Or a tag to attach to your gorgeous project! Great project...keep them coming! I guess this is easy for me to say!!!
Absolutely gorgeous little stitched plaque Marianne, she is just so pretty. These make such lovely gifts, Kate x
Oh this is super, what a pretty cross stitch, I love the colours you have used for her. Ive given my Mum in Law a few cards as she is shielding and May is her busy birthday month, she feels so bad that she cant go out and buy her cards, H xx
