My 2012 cross stitch finishes.

I did lots of cross stitch in 2012 but only today did I manage to make a complete set of pictures of them.
So here they are in the order of completion.
A Green Fox of Skiathos Project logo pin for Frieda.

An alphabet sampler for Braden, my friend Marabeth's first grandchild in the States.I have the exact same sampler made for my son as a Round Robin when he was born.

A coaster I had from a magazine freebie with a lovely pattern from another cross stitch magazine freebie, sent to me from Juliana and made for Cathy in England.

This is how far I went with my Balinese dancer. I finished all the upper left part of the head.

As you can see there is a lot to make still.

 Mermaids, a freebie pattern by The Little Stitcher. Made twice for Dawn and Frieda and framed in IKEA frames.

 Christmas cards made from various patterns.Using left over fabric and threads.Unfortunately I did not take  photos of all.

This one went to Marabeth and I added some buttons I bought from this etsy shop buzzybee.

Expected and unexpected mail.

Yesterday I received a print I had ordered from Loja de Estar in Portugal.
It is a print by Nikki McClure whom I admire for her lovely detailed handcut pictures. I had wanted for a long time to get that print called A new Materialism.It is so delicate a design that I want to have it framed the soonest.

Then I got a surprise from a sea glass friend and loyal reader Lisa who thought about me when destashing her cross stitch things and sent me these two lovely kits. I loved their colours and also the one of them has the collibri on it just like my blog template. I hope I will find time to stitch these too.
