I'm sure there's more. Maybe when I've relocated my desk and craft stuff into the new room, I might actually get around to something, or I'll get distracted by something else instead...

I can think of two tops I started but wasn't convinced by after getting about halfway through, so they're sitting in bags waiting for me to decide what to do with them. Probably more half projects if I went digging through the huge stash pile... but it's better left undisturbed until I need something ;) hehe, there are more projects on the go not even listed here thanks to them having been in hibernation for quite some time.

It's all so pretty and intricate! :) I took a trip to Hobbycraft today so I'm armed with a few more tools and little snippers, so that I can try some cutting :) It's so pretty and I really enjoyed my first two pieces so I'm eager to make some more :) Katherine.
