Well a few snags anyway. Namely, there are a few threads that i have run out of on my latest stitch, which is a bit of a surprise. Not to mention extremely frustrating. However, i contacted the company and they have been nice enough to send me some more, so hopefully by the time i need them they will have been delivered.
Before i get onto my update, i wanna share a piece of jewellery i made. I started off with some plastic flowers, and painted them with Prima Sparks paints, before finding a smaller plastic flower in a complimentary colour, and linking them together with an eye pin. I then added a bicone crystal to each flower in the centre. Next i got some gold rings and wound the eye pins around them, flattening the ends so they did not scratch. I linked each gold ring with jump rings, and added a clasp to the end.

It's a little difficult to get a decent picture of it, but it catches the light beautifully.
As mentioned before, here is the update on the stitch.
Only one page to go now! Then...onto the next photo stitch. At least once i have finished that i can go back to my poppies stitch.
I've put myself on a craft spending ban for the whole of July, as well as a fast food ban (so July is going to be fun(!) ) On the bright side, i bagged a massive bargain from the Create and Craft sale a couple of weeks ago. I have wanted the vintage Mickey dies for ages but could not justify the price. The sale meant i saved a whopping £280 on them! I've never had dies like this before, so i am working on paper piecing, rather than cutting one out of white card and colouring it, which i am not that great at. At the moment i am working on a steamboat willy style one, but rest assured for the next few years at least some Disney Christmas cards are coming your way!
Wish me luck on my ban!
