The reappearance of Henry

Finally I got Henry out of his stitching bag and worked on him last week and I am very pleased with my progress. We now have another wife all stitched up !! I finished Catherine of Aragon's green dress and worked on the border at the bottom a little.



I now have just 2 wives to finish and then the rest of the border..... I am getting there slowly!
Stuart's mom moved house last weekend so I made a decoupage card for her. I haven't made many cards recently but I was pleased with it. I have also just made an 18th birthday card as Becki is off to a friend's party tonight, I will show that next time.



Lastly here is a Christmas new start, I picked it out to do a while back as I have enjoyed the couple of Forever Friends teds I have done. He is very cute but I have had little time this week to work on him as I have been very tired and out and about quite a bit, being a taxi service for the girls !!



At least it is Friday, tonight my friend Steve is treating me to a chinese meal, I am looking forward to that ! I must try not to eat too much though, as it is a buffet style place where you can go up and help yourself to as much as you like!!
Until next time
Ginnie xx

I love the Henry stitching. I am trying to get back into cross stitching, the colder it gets the more I will get back into it.

Ginnie,
Very nice work on Henry. Can I ask where it is possible to get the pattern? I liked a lot and I am in Tudors right now. Thank you
