The last couple of days, when I have been out and about shopping, there have been a few bits and pieces that I have found that celebrate cross stitching.
Firstly this, Keep calm and cross stitch notebook and in Sainsbury's there were some mugs and another notebook.

So there you go, if you want to track your cross stitch, there are a couple of cross stitchy books you could use. Of course, you can imagine the embarrassment I caused Rachael by taking photos in Sainsbury's!!
Anyway on to some proper cross stitching now. I have worked on Bothy Threads Cut Thru Stable a few times and have never taken a photo so as I had the camera out, I got a quick pic. This really needs an iron! I have been working on the left hand side with the hanging basket and whatever the tall flower is too. Sadly the greenery on the tall flower has had to be stitched, unstitched, restitched, partially unstitched and finally partially restitched. I have also stitched the green bucket and part of the girl.
I recently took part in a summer exchange that was arranged on Friendly Stitchers. My exchange partner was Mary and she sent me a gorgeously stitched biscornu with a design by Just Nan on it along with some lovely backing fabrics. I love the card she sent me too! Thank you Mary!!

nice progress on your stitching and the mugs are so cute!!!
Whenever I see something that has cross stitched words or pictures on it I start thinking if I could use it somehow. So some years ago I bought a couple of teatowels although I am far from being short of teatowles, lol. But they are lovely. And I use them regularly.
Nice progress on The Stable and great exchnage gift and goodies.
Wonderful progress - GREAT mugs!!! And what a lovely exchange.
