I didn't love the colours in Ice Cream Sundae... I started at the top and it took me a while to get into a groove with it. I still don't love the colours and it isn't a favourite, but it grew on me and it's actually really pretty IRL. And I admit that I did get a wee bit bored towards the end there, but that was more to do with the fact that I only stitched these designs for about 4 weeks. Otherwise I really did love stitching each and every one. :)
At the current time, my mum has THIS up in her kitchen:
I stitched this when I was 13! Time to take it down, mum! (hopefully at Christmas!) ;)Thanks for stopping by! I know I'm dreadful at updating my blog these days, so I appreciate anyone that still drops by from time to time. :)
P.S. I notice Boomspeed.com has been up and down lately, hence a few of my photos aren't always showing (i.e. the header photo!) Hopefully it'll sort itself out, otherwise I'll need to move them over to another photo hosting site.

What lovely stitching to share! :D Great to hear from you!!
What a great show! Your mum will be thrilled I'm sure - though it's a shame to replace the gorgeous picture you stitched at 13. I've still got a much smaller one up in my kitchen which I made at 12 (35 yrs ago!).
Wow, you've been busy! They all look wonderful. Although, I don't think your mum is going to want to put that other one away. I'm sure she's very attached to it! What a great job you did at 13 years old, too!
Wow Tina, you may not post often but when you do, boy is it fabulous!
I'm sure your Mum won't take down the piece you did when you were 13 either :)
Wow! :) I love your finishes. The teas look especially gorgeous. Did you use two strands of silk or one out of curiosity?
I want to do the same thing in my kitchen (well - the teas and coffee and coffee menu) if I can squeeze them all in. Your mum will be over the moon :)
They all look great. I'm sure your mum will love them.
Wow, Concetta! You are a veritable LHN workhorse! Congrats on all the pretty finishes; your mom will love them.
Wonderful finishes!!!
I want to make the LHN tea and coffee series for my mom's kitchen too :)
Busy fingers :) All your finishes are wonderful, congratulations!
lol I will be very suprised if your mum hides that picture away. I still have pictures my daughter did at school and no way would i part with (or hide)them.
The new ones are all lovely though and I am sure she will be thrilled with them too.
Tina, they all look amazing! Congrats on all those gorgoeus finsihes and your finsh at 13 is too adorable and huge too!
All your finishes are stunning!!! Wanna stitch for my kitchen? LOL. You are a very talented stitcher!
