I've been working on this for a couple of weeks, charting the design before stitching it, and I'm rather pleased with the result. The coffee cup motif is from Cross Stitcher Issue 262 and the main alphabet is from Issue 265. I designed the border myself.

Oh, that turned out so awesome!!! I love it. *grins* Very much in Ianto's style. I'll keep my eyes open in November and snap a picture if I can find it.

Beautiful. :)

Thank you! I just finished it this afternoon and was so pleased I just had to get the pictures posted right away. Now I want to design a wider border and stitch it again. I bought a very nice frame for it.

Tomorrow I must get back to writing, if I can get my brain in gear.

It'll turn out wonderful for you. :) I love the coffee cups. I think I forgot to say that last time.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for writing for you. I'm going to tackle some WIPs today. See what trouble I can get into.

They look great, don't they? It's a lovely little design. I simplified it slightly, because the heart was supposed to be in two shades of the same colour but I just used one. The rest exactly follows the chart.

I'm so tired I'm yawning my head off, I've had another rough day and really want to crawl into bed so I think I'll turn in early. I need my brain in good working order for writing tomorrow.

Hope your writing goes well!
