I downloaded them and printed them off at work.... then looked at them later at home. Oh my they do look fun....25ct stitched over one!! Where's my magnifier!! I promise not to start them just yet I really must finish something else first, but I feel a lot better now I have made a purchase!!
Anyway here's Laura's Geisha Girl card, I have some new gold beads now so I'll get them sewn on later and that'll be complete. Becky has decided she wants a Popcorn Bear card and luckily I have a freebie kit of one so I have just started it.
Otherwise I have been working hard on Country Idyll, although last night I realised I had stitched full cross stitches on some of the half stitches..... but I think it'll look ok, it is only in the tree on the right hand side!
Thank you if you have given me an award recently, I'm sorry I always forget to post them on here and I never actually pick anyone to pass them onto as I can never decide who. I do appreciate your kindness and for thinking about me.
Hope you all have a lovely Easter, I have a nice Rolo Easter Egg just waiting for me to eat!! And I am off work until Thursday .... yeah !!

A bit of retail therapy always does wonders. The geisha is looking good
Wat a lovely Geisha.
I look forward for the stotching patterns, don't wait to long....
Retail is sometimes just needed, an essential not a luxury lol.
I am not an HAE person, but I look forward to seeing how you get on with these lol
The geisha turned out really well!
Can't wait to see you start the HAED's. Geisha turned out quite nicely :0)
I haven't had a chnace to check your blog in a couple of weeks, but you've made so much progress and had so many finishes! Gorgeous! The Geisha is very pretty. And the HAED charts are lovely too. I wouldwant to start with a QS too; the full-sized charts are a bit intimidating
You don't have to stitch 25 count 1 over 1. You could try 18 count with 2 threads. That is what I am going to do with my next HAED as I am finding 25 count very challenging...
Retail therapy is the best kind. Good luck with your HAED designs. I started one, but never finished it, maybe I should have done your thing and started with a quick stitch.
geisha looks fantastic and I love your new charts tho not sure I could stitch that small EKKK.
We have athirtons egg to demolish between me and hubby tonight a gift fro Mum in law yesterday.
Yummy
Enjoy your easter
Happy Stitching

I'm not a HAED fan but I can admire the intricate stitching involved, good idea to start small.
Retail Threapy - always good for the soul and it's so fantastic you are doing your bit for the economy lol!!!
