    Welcome back Chris and Dave, so glad that you are feeling refreshed after your holiday and love your photos, yes please, it would be good to see some more. Where did you go?
    Glad that you havn't lost your touch with the Mandala (as if you could)! Lovely colours and the close ups just show how painstaking the stitching and bead work are. Looking forward to our double dose this week. xx

    You have made good use of the up and down buttonhole stitch. The felt is the perfect backdrop and the beads in the middle give the mandala a good central point. It is always such a pleasure to see your creations.
    If you have time for a photo blog, you should absolutely give it a try.
