I hope you are all doing ok on this Wednesday - we are on our way to the weekend people :)
As the title of this post would suggest I have a finish to share with you guys. I've had the last three days off work and in between running errands I'm please to say I picked up the needle and managed to get a finish - YAY!
As I've mentioned before it is now kind of a tradition for me to stitch an ornament each year to place on the tree and due to my lack of crafting this year it was looking like I wouldn't get one done in time - but that was all fixed today.
The last time I shared this piece with you was waaaay back in January when I first started it, and I hadn't touched it again so this was my starting point this week...
And today I placed the final x - I think this is such a sweet pattern :)
Happy Holidays by Country Cottage Needleworks Featured in the 2012 Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments Stitched on 16ct Rustico Oatmeal Aida in the called for DMC colours |
Obviously as you can tell I still need to Finish finish this, I'm thinking of attempting my first flat ornament but I'm not sure if I am brave enough - but either way that will have to wait until after payday now to get the supplies needed.
So now this is complete what next? I'm not sure to be honest, I might just have a bit of a stash fondle and see what happens... :)
Until next time!
