It's Dimensions Sleigh Ride Tree Skirt and it's a little on the big side 48 x 50 inches so not the easiest to hold never mind work on.<br />
The 1st photo is how it SHOULD look and the 2nd is when I got set to start<br />

I had 2 fantastic weeks in Marsa Alam, Egypt Blue skies and sunshine and HOT<br />
Just put in last few back stitches its taken longer than it should have because my cat has been on my knee every time I've sat down I think she missed me although she was still at home and I can't stitch with her there I think she would object when I stuck the needle in her lol.<br />
Well here's the finished product I'm rather pleased with it I just hope the friend I've done it for is happy with it.<br />
At least it's done now not stuck in her draw as she couldn't do it with all the fractional stitches.<br />

Hi all you lovely people who take the time to come and look at my attempts.<br />
I finished the cross stitching very early this morning like 1am but was so close I couldn't leave it.<br />
Now there's all the back stitching to do but that will have to wait I've got my grandson coming today until sunday afternoon and going on holiday on Monday.<br />
I've got a small kit sorted to take with me so will post about that if I get a chance while away or when I get back if I can't get on line while away.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11113067683255987713noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048332798187901228.post-2159011088996017522014-02-15T09:32:00.000+00:002014-02-15T09:35:23.672+00:00A bit more done<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi all I've managed a bit more this week but still a good bit of cross stitching to do and then LOADS of back stitching.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm doing this for a friend who couldn't do it she had made a right mess of the bit she had started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Silly me said I'll do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't know there could be so many fractional stitches in one piece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Row upon row of top half, bottom half. Left side right side and stitches that straddle between 2 split stitches covering the holes in middle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh well as I'm at the bottom on right corner there can't be that many more of them I'm sure (well I hope there isn't) </div>

I've been told by a friend who hasn't commented I should give a bit more info about myself so here goes.<br />
My teachers gave up trying to teach me cross stitch when I was at school and let me do knitting or crochet instead I've been knitting since I was little and can't remember when I started but my first needles were wooden ones my dad made for me as I wanted to knit like mummy.<br />
I taught myself to crochet when I was about 12 as I wanted a crochet waistcoat then I taught my mum.<br />
I finished my first ever piece of cross stitch in April 2013 the little basket of roses when a friend sent me a couple of kits to try as I was looking for a new hobby.<br />
I was 64 yrs young last July so disproving the old saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks " :-) :-) :-)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11113067683255987713noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9048332798187901228.post-64921611213875428332014-02-03T16:47:00.001+00:002014-02-03T17:11:05.429+00:00Hi Hi as you can guess my name is Pam I've been doing cross stitch since April 2013 and I am enjoying it very much this is to share my efforts with anyone who cares to look<br />
So thank you for taking the time<br />
Hopefully the photos will be in the order I completed them<br />
And as this is my first attempt at a blog I hope it works :-)<br />
