I have also finished stitching up my biscornu and adding the cute ladybird button. These are hard to photo because you can't capture all the sides!! I also don't know what to do with it now it is complete.... what do other people do with theirs?
Lastly here are my 2 completed Mother's Day cards, I have decoupaged the one for my MIL and the cross stitched one is for my mom (last year they had styles the other way round). I have mounted them on quite small cards but they look nice. Just need to get to the shops on Saturday to buy a gift each.
I have been working on Henry also this week. I don't know why but every time I come back to Henry after a 3 week rest I always make a mistake on the first night and end up unpicking!! Doesn't happen with the other pieces in my rota. Luckily I have it sorted again now.... this week I am working on Henry's left side to complete his big jacket. If I'm lucky I'll start Anne of Cleeves too!!
Well that's all for today, I think I fancy a cup of tea before ER is on the telly and before I pick Henry back up again!

My! You have been busy!
Your cards are lovely! I'm sure the recipients will be very pleased! The nice thing about the cards is that they can be framed later.
Lovely work. I do like the purple in the Silver Wedding.
wow..very productive.
Apparently biscornus are just posh pin cushions...I have seen them used as hanging thingys and in a basket with other bicornus and as smellies lol.
(Again, it is as technical as you are gonna get lol)
Lovely cards and the colours in the silver wedding piece are beautiful.
Love the mother's day cards!
Nice...
Your work looks lovely
Love that biscornu Jayne, it gorgeous. I just display mine, and I only have three at the moment, on a wooden tray. The Silver Wedding stitching and Mother's Day cards are beautiful. You put me to shame as I bought my cards this year.
Lovely cards and a beautiful biscornu! Your Silver Wedding stitching looks pretty.
OMG - I wondered the same thing - what do you do with a biscornu? I recently decided to put that on my list of things to make and decided where I'm going to put it. When I was little, my mother always had a pincushion hanging from the window frame in our kitchen and she would stick her needles and random pins in there. It's amazing how often we used it! I decided to do the same thing in my house after I saw that I have 2 needles sticking in the kitchen curtain!! LOL
Your stitching is beautiful as always. To go along with your stitching Henry, I have been reading about his wives in various books. Now I'm reading about Elizabeth. I look forward to seeing the progress.
Great cards - lucky moms!!
Beautiful cards, love the biscornu, i have mine together in a basket with needlerolls.
Beautiful stitching and framing!! Congrats on the framing and the cards too!
If I ever get time to make a biscornu, I will use it for a pincushion:)
Lovely Mother's Day cards! The biscornu is lovely, too, as is the silver wedding stitching!
The biscornu is so cute! Your other projects are great too!
