IHSW LATE POSTING

Yes I did stitch during the last IHSW but did not manage to post on the Monday before we went away for several days. came home last Friday and there has not been a chance to get a photo till now.
 I worked on two pieces, one a gift for a friend will be shown at a later date, The other is this piece.

This little chap was started several years ago with an exhibition in mind but when the criteria came out he was no suitable so was put aside.. At the weekend I mounted his head and top of his body onto the green fabric and my weekends stitching was his legs and feet and the lower part of his body. This time I intend to finish him as I have decided what to mount him on. One of the fun parts  to stitch where his feet, bullion stitches with one thread stitched with a beading needle
 I will post later about our few special days we had away.
