Big news here! I have finally bought a Qsnap needlework frame, the 11 inch size, after reading about so many stitchers using them. I tried them for the first time on the Bothy Threads Cut Thru' Castle last night and I could see why everyone was raving about them. I love how the frame holds the fabric taut and that I can rest it easily on my body to stitch two-handed.
Despite a busy week with daughter Mary's birthday and sadly a funeral, I have made stitchy progress on some of my cross stitch WIPs especially in the last 48 hours. You can see my progress "LIVE" on the link below if you love videos:

| Shepherd's Bush 2007 stocking 18 ct linen
On the Shepherd's Bush Christmas stocking, I have added the wise man's bottle of myrrh (I had to look up how to spell it LOL) he is holding.

And I have completed the border on the Little House Needleworks "Bringing Home the Tree" Christmas ornament. I only have a few details left in the main picture and it will be ready to sew up into an ornie.

love love your Santa
Shepherd Bush design is looking great...and ornament is lovely!
Lovely progress...so nice to see you and Bob on your video! Could I be very cheeky and ask if you would include a demo of two-handed stitching on your next video? I stitch in hand rather than with a frame but would love to find a way to stitch more quickly. Feel free to ignore this if you want to.
So beautiful..
Happy stitching x
Les broderies sont belle Marie-Claire
Awww Bob is adorable, furry cuddles from me to him.
I'm so sorry you lost your much loved Aunt.
Happy birthday wishes to your elder son and daughter.
I spotted a white little triangle that's missing from the border of your LHN piece, the bottom of the left column as I looked at your picture... sorry! xx
Gorgeous progress Jan!
Great progress! I do hope the rest of the week and weekend go smoothly for you....
Lovely progress Jan :)
Nice progress on both pieces Jan.

Great progress on your pieces! And congrats on your Qsnap purchase. :D I've never tried it, but I've heard good things. Let me know how you like it!
Great progress, they both look lovely.
