I would like to share with you, a picture of the last 2 weeks' finish.'Tiny dozen' which had finished earlier but I was terribly slow with the finishing off. Actually, I would like to finish it off differently, I was just too lazy to get my sewing machine repaired. Simplest solution is to frame the stitched piece.
This piece is actually a collection of teapot miniature patterns from various sources - magazines & DMC mini booklet. I selected my favourite dozen to stitch and added some laces to make it looks like the teapots are displayed in a cabinet. The stitchcount is not more than 20X20 and stitched on 14ct brown aida (to non-stitchers : the size of each teapot is approx. 1.5" X1.5" max). I made some colour changes and did extra backstitches.
I've always love teapots and teacups in a needlework version but I don't actually collect teapots.

Glad to know the blog is up again as was worried when I don't see anything.
I love all your completed projects as they are so beautiful. Another 80days you won't have time for any stitching done. :) Wishes you best and smooth delivery
Oooh, I love that idea! Can I pinch it? The teapots on the lace shelf, I mean. Actually, I have seen a similar idea in a book on quilting. I also love teapot and teacups without collecting the real things, and one of my UFOs is a blackwork picture of same.
ooh Thank you Zohrah
Yes, I was surprised when it happened (the blog thing), luckily managed to to do something about it.
My pregnancy - So far everything is fine and I already reduced my needlework activities except for stash shopping *LOL*
