That's totally cute. Love the expression in his face. It seems like he's really proud of something

I absolutely love that shawl! Wish I had the time to do something like that for myself. But I might make one like that for my grandma's birthday.

Wow, those look cool and they are so easy. That's incredible. Hm, didn't I just buy a box full of nice buttons? They'll be gone before I know it...

Hi
I got the German version of the book and I am not sure whether the gauge for the Cold Shoulder capelet is correct. It says 10 stitches x 4 rows sc = 10cm x 10cm (about 4 inches x 4 inches). Does the English version says this too? I think mine wasn't half as long.

Thanks

Oh, this is such a great idea, since the prospect of spending much shipping money and giving away my address to many people often stops me from looking closer at the swaps. And I am a procastinator, so that just adds to the anti-reasons (is that a word?).
Well, now I have no excuse:

My name is new_bee
I am joining the Fill a jewelry box Swap
I will make a jewelry box, 3 pairs of earrings, 2 necklaces, bracelet and a ring
It is due by Feb 28, 2011

Btw: the Gallery already looks great thus far

Oh, dammit, you're right. Now I have to redo all of it. Ah well, better now than after having finished the first page or something. Good thing I posted the WIP shot this early. Thanks for pointing it out. I assumed the two strands stood for the embroidery yarn.
Okay, I'm off then pulling apart my yarn, which will cost me some nerves but I hope to regain them again when being able to work bigger.
Thanks again.

Wow those are great. I love the first one.
Oh and the backgrounds are really, really sweet.

Wow, I love what's been presented up to now, it looks amazing.
And you are all so quick. I finally bought a kit I had my eyes on for months, but I guess I'm a little insane for this is my first try at crossstich ever and this motif has 10.5 stitches per cm and around 470x520 stitches in total. So far I have been working at it for about 5-6 hours and it's a little bit frustrating because I covered so little space. I mean I knew that it would take some time, but this much...
Well, anyway here's how it will hopefully look like:


And this it what I managed so far (cent for size referance):

These journals look great! I love the cover with the birds and that little shrine is super cute.

They are gorgeous! I love how they clearly referr to a theme but could also be seen completely individual. Did you form the little figures yourself? They are so detailled. It's hard to pick a favourite but I think I'd take the Heart of Slytherin ones. Great work
