DJ's March, April and May post...

Whew...where does the time go?  I have been watching my granddaughter twice (sometimes three) times a week for a few months now and my stitching has fallen waaaay behind schedule.  I've been working hard to catch up...but it's also left little time for posting.  But...here I am to show what I've been doing for March, April and May.  Hopefully I'll be back soon with a June update too!  Fingers crossed!  I was working on all four of the challenges this year, but couldn't find patterns I liked for some of the "Christmas" movie category so I've dropped out of that one this year.  So...here are the other three.  

First off is 12 Days of Christmas.  I have been stitching from the 2001 Cross Stitch book I love this book and use it often!  Here are 3 French Hens  

4 Calling Birds 

and 5 Golden Rings  

Next category is ornaments from the Just Cross Stitch ornament issues for the year selected.  March was 2012 and I chose Peace Pin Button by Jeanette Douglas  

April was a Free Choice so I selected Merry Christmas by Glory Bee from the 2012 issue  

May was 2004 and I chose In A Stable by Shepherd's Bush.  

The last category was The Nutcracker  March was The Mouse King so I chose The Mouse King from The World of Cross Stitching magazine (sorry I don't know the issue)  

April was a Free Choice so I chose the Swan from the same serries in TWOCS. 

May was Christmas Tree/Presents so I chose Perfect Gifts by Full Circle Designs from the 2004 JCS ornament issue.  

Hopefully I'll be back soon with the June stitching.  I already have one done...but I like to group them together.  Happy Stitching everyone!
