I'll be honest and tell you right off that I ignored most of my WIPs for the last couple of months. I am so focused on finishing "Christmas Sentiments" by Stoney Creek. It's like I have tunnel vision when it comes to stitching. When I think about doing some cross stitch, that's pretty much the only pattern that comes to mind. Well, except for a new start.
But the good news is that I am so close to finishing! Yay! This is a big chart for me so it's a major accomplishment.
All I have left is the bottom border and the beading. That's it!
The beads go in the red parts of the tree and in the middle of the poinsettias, as well as in the border. I chose some gold glass beads and gold metallic beads that were already in my bead stash. No beads on it yet, but you'll see them soon.
My plan is to have it totally finished by the end of April. Think I can do it?
For some reason I thought I needed to start something new. I've been stitching the Joyful World charts by Snowflower Diaries very slowly. I decided to start "July". So "Christmas Sentiments" wasn't my only project lately.
Cute, right?
I'm stitching it one over one on 25 count Celadon green Jobelan. The top picture represents the color a little better. I really enjoy one over one stitching on 25 count. Those tiny stitches are so cute. I do think that the baby flamingo's eye needs to be a little bit smaller. I got carried away with my French knot. Ha ha.
So that sums it up for my WIP rotation this month. Not exactly stellar, but I am enjoying stitching what I stitch. And that's the important thing.
