Kate's Christmas Tree

I've been a little absent from blog world lately; our house has been the infirmary for awhile. All four of us have been sick at least once in the last six weeks. I love everyone's ornaments this month! I squeezed out a mini finish a couple of days ago.

It's one of the Prairie Schooler Mini Cards, but I'm not sure which year. I know I had the chart two days ago, and now I can't find it. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to stitch but took a lot longer than I thought it would. 

Thanks for reading and looking.

Happy Stitching!

My First FFO Just In Time!

I managed to finish my ornament just in time. It's my first real FFO! The design is Santa's 12 Days of Christmas by Prairie Schooler. Here's the back:

I made a few mistakes and will be doing some things differently next time. But, all in all, I'm pleased with my first finishing efforts.

Happy Stitching!

My Pick for August

Oh, I'm so excited to do this SAL! I participate in quite a few (too many, sometimes I think!), but I especially love to stitch Christmas designs. So this is perfect for me!

My lovely friend, Linda, gifted me the Santa's 12 Days of Christmas charts by Prairie Schooler. I've started the first 8 (I'm a serial starter), but have made real progress on number 1. This'll be my ornament finish for August.

Here's where I am now:

Mostly just a lot of little fiddly bits left to stitch. I only work on this on Sundays, but I'm sure I can finish the stitching by the end of August. My real goal is to do the finishing, too; I haven't tried that yet but have seen many good tutorial videos.

Happy Stitching!
