So, here are the baubles I made from a pattern in a cross-stich magazine...

I am not as impressed as I hoped with them, but I have got some ideas on some other designs to make Xmas tree decorations, so it is not a complete loss! They will look fairly nice on a tree too, they are just not what I was hoping.

And then here is my first Valentine card of the year. It is not a very clear photgraph but the letters spell 'me' and 'you'. It looks better in real life...
