I have completed three projects this week - all of which are Christmas themed. So, am I just super slow at finishing the wall hangings I would have liked to have done by Christmas 2008 or just very organised for 2009?
I choose the latter!
This one is 12 Red Robins, by Cinderberry Stitches:
The stitchery in the next one is from a free pattern by Gail Pan found here.As I had already used a varigated red floss for my 12 red robins stitchery, I decided to give the DMC light effects thread in red a try. The result is a gorgeous sparkly stitchery, perfect for a Christmas themed project, but boy was it a pain in the #$%@ to stitch with!
And this one I didn't actually start until the beginning of January. As I was putting away our Christmas decorations I came accross a card, handmade by my Aunt a couple of years ago, which I had been keeping. I decided to finally pull her gorgeous cross-stitch out and frame it into a wall hanging. And I had the most perfect material in my stash to match her candy cane!
Then I decided I actually should get organised for Christmas 2009 and started on Gail Pan's free BOM - A Christmas Wish.

What a fab start to Christmas 2009! Your stitcheries are delightful. I tried using a metallic thread once - you're right it's a @#$%. I really like the way you transformed your Aunt's cross stitch. Sweet!
Happy Stitching...Ann :)
