Advent Calendar 2018, Day 10

Merry Christmas everyone and welcome to the blog hop organized by the lovely Serendipitious Jo

Here’s my 12 Days of Christmas by Joan Elliot which I framed last year.  I’m so happy to have it as part of my holiday decor.  This piece is special to me; it is chock full of color, detail, and backstitching to the nth degree.  Plus a sprinkle of the good stuff- gold metallic, beads, and french knots.  And though it does pictorialize the old English carol, it’s not my favorite.  When I took it out this year, my (4 year old) son wanted to sing the entire song, such a cutie.  

12 days FFO-frame-on-wall

There’s a plethora of wonderful Christmas songs and it’s very difficult to pick a favorite.  But a newish one I find myself playing over and over is “Everyday is Christmas” by Sia.  While not a traditional song, I think it does capture the spirit of the season.  

Merry Christmas!

    Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year. And for reminding me that I must get MY 12 Days framed. I have the frame, I have the mount board, I just need to get them together!
    Thanks for the song too, I am not really a pop music fan but that is a good song with lovely lyrics too. Just needs some soaring guitars and a heavy drum beat LOL

    That is a gorgeous stitch. It must have taken quite some time to complete but it looks so beautiful. Love your choice for the frame too. Loved your song choice too. Have a great holiday. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever

    Such a beautiful piece, of course your son would want to sing it when he saw it!
    I’ve never heard that song before, it’s growing on me.
    Happy Christmas

    Wonderful stitching, and the frame really sets it off (in fact, I love the frame and we have one very similar in our living room except not with stitching in)!
    I don’t remember that song but it was very nice to hear.
    Happy Christmas!
