I started this 11 years ago in December 1996 and I've done possibly 20% of it Shocked

It's a Lavender and Lace chart so all full of beads and colours that all look alike

But it really is lovely, so I decided this year is the year to get it finished - and then I can start on the other four in the series - so they should all be finished by the time I'm 90 Shocked

I think I've got this pattern! I've also got the Autumn one half done and lurking in a corner. They're beautiful and I'd love all five to be hanging on my wall. Like you I think I'll be about 90 - if not 100 - by the time that happens. Still, they'll cheer up the wall of the nursing home Very Happy

I stitched Celtic christmas a couple of years ago. It hangs with Celtic spring in my parents's house as I've got quite a lot of finished cross stitch and a small flat. Its a lovely design and well worth the effort.

Well I've got the bit between my teeth and am making reasonable, if slow, progress! I'll see what sort of a picture I can get of it so far and post it up as some sort of progress point!

Would love to see pictures of anyone else's to give me some encouragement!

I did Celtic Spring a few years ago but left the border off and I will do Summer and Autumn eventually but using different colours to hers
