I was all set to post some pictures on Friday morning only to find that the battery was flat in the camera! I've not had quite as much stitching time as usual lately but am still fitting a little in now and again when my arm permits.
First picture is the finally framed My Little Heart - I gave up trying to find a frame for it and took it to the framing shop last week, I think it turned out rather well.
I finished off the April block for Henrietta Whiskers last week, I really enjoy making these blocks each month.
and finally, an update on the teacups. I've almost finished these - just a few French knots, some beads and a little more backstitching of words and it will be complete. I love how well the colours blend together on this - the pattern is in Cross Stitch Collection magazine.
I think it would benefit from spending a little time with the iron!
My Little Heart is looking lovely framed! And those tecups are just so cute. Don't worry about the iron - ironing is SO over-rated. LOL

Beautiful stitching. Your April block looks great, you had the perfect fabrics.

I do like the teacups stitchery, the doilies look so delicate. I've got a spare battery for my camera after finding it flat on a couple of occasions.

Wonderful update :)
My little heart looks great in a frame. It makes so much difference to it.
I do like your Teacups stitch. It's so pretty, and I love the colours in the Henrietta Whiskers block.

Your little hearts have become very pretty!
