First up is Adriana. I back stitched the birds' legs, beaks and some of their wings. It's almost finished but I may not make it for this year.
The big hurrah! for November was finishing the Advent Calender and picking out fabric for it. I plan to make it into a small wall hanging. I really want to get it done before Christmas but am not sure that will happen. Doing this kind of finishing is new to me -- I only did it once before -- and need to be nice and calm and relaxed before attempting it. Right now, that's not my mental state.
The other Christmas stuff I've been stitching are presents for various friends and family and are on the top burner right now. I forgot to get the designer for the Santa with drum but he's from an old issue of Country Cross Stitch Magazine. The Stitching Sisters isn't finished yet. I may remove the gold thread and replace it with something darker. I like the way the spools show up but the individual strands of it aren't so visible. And what can I say -- I just love that little angel. Last Christmas I stitched a forest of trees, this year I stitched a sky full of angels.
Have a great weekend!
