Those are fantastic! Super cute and your stitching is so tidy! So happy to see some of your other amazing skills! :D

Thank you! It's a lot easier to be tidy when only stitching with one strand.... Lol! With two strands, I'm not so neat!

I must admit, small designs appeal to me as they're quick to do, but I have so many designs queueing up that I want to stitch and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Heeeee! *revives you*

Cute things just appeal to me - I have terminal fluff.

They're adorable!! Don't you just hate the backstitching, tho? It's my worst thing - I love making the design, but detest the backstitch

Would you believe I have a cross-stitch of John Barrowman? I havn't done it yet,but it's in my workroom waiting!!!

Thank you! Actually, I LOVE the backstitch, seeing the design turn from patches of colour into a real, recognisable picture. I'm one of those rare people who ejoys that part as much as the cross-stitching itself!

I've seen charts for the Jack/Ianto CoE promo picture picture where Ianto is behind Jack with his arms around him. I can well imagine that there's at least one out there for JB. You can get just about anything. One of these days I'll make my own chart from a Ianto and Jack picture, when I find one I like for the purpose. I'll go through all the screencaps I've picked up from other people and chart it - without backstitch because that's best for that sort of picture. Hope you enjoy stitching JB!
