I only stitch on days that end in "y".

Merry Christmas!

 Christmas will be a lot quieter this year because of the "C word" but we'll reflect on past Christmas' spent with family and future Christmas' to come.  We're blessed with our health, a warm house, plenty of food, and the promise of better days to come.  I also feel blessed to have my cross stitch hobby with lots of things to stitch to occupy my time while we can't go anywhere.


I finally framed my 2008 Prairie Schooler Santa in a sled frame I found at Kohl's last year and am pleased with how he turned out.




I'm also FFO'ing the Covid Santa ornaments (from Beverlystreetshop on Etsy) for our family's 2020 ornaments.  I used Vonna Pfeiffer's hoop finish tutorial on Youtube.



I took a little break from model stitching last night to put a few stitches in my wip of Blackbird Design's Joyeux Noel.  I'm working on the band of greenery and berries.  One of these years I will finish it.



I'm beginning to think of my 2021 stitchy plans (I loosely plan bc I've found that I often don't stick to a plan.)  Without thinking too much, I have quite a list....working on wips, some HATS samplers, stockings for our son and future daughter-in-love, etc. From the looks of it, I'll be quite busy stitching.


With the promise of 2 vaccines currently starting to be used, there's some light at the end of the COVID tunnel.  We just have to be patient and keep taking precautions for a while longer.


Merry Christmas!

Happy stitching!
