Tulips - Finished!

After a concerted effort yesterday afternoon I finally (finally!) finished the tulips I started back in June. Here's a picture of them with the matching pansies. I admit, I prefer the tulips close-up without the black - but they do look very effective from far away. I'll be doing one more from this series, probably the daffodils as I think the yellow, orange and black will set each other off really well.





My next goals are to get going again on Raggetty Ann, which I haven't touched in ages, and to stitch myself a couple of keyrings for my new car keys - I can't believe how hard it is to find nice keyrings on the high street!!! A really good excuse to look through all my old copies of World of Cross Stitch and Cross Stitch Crazy!

I'm hoping that this finish will help me get the stitching bug again!
