Mary's Mill Hill Snowman with Christmas Lights

Here's my "Christmas lights" theme- Snow Fun by Mill Hill!! It's too bad the crystal beads don't show up better in the picture- it's really pretty in person!

This was a quick stitch for sure- I just love Mill Hill Kits!! Now I can check this off my list and attend to all my other March goals!

The Snowman made it!

Hello fellow SALers!

I finished my snowman on time, whoho!

From the magazine Enjoy cross stitching at Christmas 2011.
Designer: Adam Prescott

I enjoyed stitching him up until the backstitch...! It was way too fiddly and sometimes the small stitches disappeared into the stitching...and the mouth looks all wonky up close! This is definitely a design that looks best at a distance...lol.
Still, I guess he's kind of cute...for a snowman:)

Now I need a few days break from Christmas ornaments after that backstitch session, before I start to think of next month's fun theme!

Cheryl's February Snow Ornament

"Let It Snow!" from the book

100 Cross-Stitch Christmas Ornaments

This is a small sampler - only about 2 inches (4.5 cm) across by 2-1/2 inches (6 cm) tall!  I stitched this on a khaki colored piece of 18 count fabric. 

Happy February!

Didn't Quite Make It

I had hoped to catch up with my 2015 Ornaments after I moved, but it's obvious I'm not going to make it.

Here's where I am with November's snowman

and December's Free Choice is nowhere in sight. I will be doing some stitching tonight and tomorrow so there is a remote possibility of a finish, but I'm doubtful. However, I will post, however much or little I get stitched.

Looking forward to starting fresh for the 2016 ornament choices.

Cheryl's Nov and Dec Ornaments

For my November ornament, I selected "Snow" by Valerie Danish.  This pattern is featured in the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Special Holiday Issue.  I stitched the pattern on 14 ct plastic canvas, and backed it with black felt.  I actually started stitching this one in November, but got too busy with work.  I finished it last week.

For my December ornament, I stitched "Quaker Flower" (freebie) by The Stitcherhood.  I have yet to finish it into an ornament ... but the stitching is complete.


Merry Christmas!

Still in time - a snowman

Dear friends,

he is finally finished, my snowman for this month. I finished the stitching part last week but then wasn't motivated enough to sew on the little buttons - until this morning :) So here he is.

Threads and buttons from my stash

I also started another little snowman but it will take one more day to finish him. But I'll show him when he's done.

Happy stitching,
