Cool. I'll keep me eyes open for a suitable pattern. I thought the advent calendar would be nice as it breaks down into individual sections that we could do one at a time... hadn't even thought of how close to Christmas we are - I'm in denial!
Squidipa, I love working in bold, bright colours like that.
Regarding Australian Cross stitch magazines. There is one good one but it's hard to find: Jill Oxton's Cross Stich. I have issue number 38. It was published in 1999. I'd love more of her magazines... they are good quality with cover paper that is firmer than your average magazine... like Vogue IYKWIM. She does lots of native animal designs but also more traditional ones. The magazine I have features a lady playing a violin on the cover and a frog on the back cover... there are some gorgeous floral motifs inside and a very sweet Monday's Child pattern and lots of others. If you Google Jill Oxton you'll find something no doubt.
bath, I just googled her and you get a link to her shop where you can order back issues or subscribe. Looks like she's also into beading too.
We should definitely do something for next Christmas seeing as how there are a few of us interested. I have those little stocking decorations that I got for last year but never got to them. I should really try to get them done for this year.
