Been a very busy week with little stitching going on. 'Tis the season for holiday parties and holiday dinners, just why must we string 6 events together in one week? It does not bode well for those of us forever dieting.....but that is another post.
I finished the stitching on my ornament for our exchange at work. I dug through my collection of patterns and found this in a Cross Stitch and Needlework Leaflet from 1996. It was funny to work on Aida again......note of sarcasm. I feel a bit guilty that my only cost was $0.39 on a skein of DMC Blanc. I came in a bit under the $15 limit. And how does one manage to have a stash of bobbins and bobbins of floss and no white?
I added the fringe to the scarf and I am happy with it.
He has no arms yet because the finishing calls for using real twigs. I snipped mine from my grapevine wreath in my dining room and will need to trim them down to size. "Frosty" will show up better on the PTP Relic Aida once I do the outline stitching to be done while finishing.
I am ready to do the finishing but can't decide on which fabric to use. I've narrowed it down to these two and I am leaning towards the red/green plaid. The finishing instructions are super simple with no machine stitching and I am looking forward to finishing it this week....maybe even tonight! It could be my reward for finishing up all the house decorations today!
So cute!! I like the plaid fabric ~ looking forward to the finish~finish!!
