I worked on two Christmas projects this past month! Joan Elliott’s 12 Days of Christmas saw a weekend on the scroll bars.  I finished the gold metallic in the second “tier” and started back stitching from the top. There are 3 different colors of back stitching.  I stitched the green and some of the black.  Next time, I will finish the black and do the red before extending that left border downwards and working on the next block- 6 geese a-laying.  By now, I am almost half done.  As long as I keep up the pace, finishing by Christmas is attainable.

At the Mirabilia Minion retreat in Cincinatti, I worked a little on Blitzen.  It’s not worth photographing really, I only did a bit of the greenery in the upper left corner and stitched his fluffy tail with Wisper thread.  So now he’s ready for beading. The beads are on order and I may shoot for a May finish.
