New Stash - Bothy Threads Love Blossoms

Stitching this for a friend's wedding (no date set as yet so no pressure to begin!)

I love the metallics and the kit of treasures and beads. Nothing makes stitching more fun than having a bit of frou frou to add!!



I can tell this is one that will stitch up quite quickly, so I'm not in a hurry to begin, but I do think I'm going to enjoy it! Especially after I'm done with my current epic cross stitch, lady alexandra in red.

Current WIP - Lady Alexandra in red

I'm stitching much more quickly on this project than previous projects. Pretty sure it's because purchased a Pako needle organiser I before I began. It holds up to 50 threaded needles. Just stitch and then park the threaded needle in the organiser, pick up the next threaded needle and off we go! 

I'm probably going to purchase another needle organiser at some point (and potentially even a Pako thread organiser too) so that I can have more than one project on the go.

Anyway, enough chit chat. I present for you, my current WIP Lady Alexandra, conversion in red.
