 Hello and welcome to my blog and my first post.  I enjoy a range of crafts including cross stitch, knitting, crochet and toy making.

I added my sons Royal Navy number and the operation name. I removed the roses and added a compass.   Now a new start, this is an antique reproduction sampler called Hannah Richards by Brenda Keyes and it’s from issue 17 of Cross Stitch Gold. I’ve used called for threads and I tea dyed and then coffee splattered some white 28ct evenweave.  Not much to show as it was a Sunday evening start. On Saturday night I started and finished Eat your Carrots, this is an old one from The Sampler Girl, I’m not too sure if it’s still available.  I got some stash this week, the new PS Santa for 2021 and Needlework Press Jane Plenderleath...
