Short Update

This was a much better week in the hot desert. Got in LOTS of stitching time (and some nice chats with Kelly on YM). I finished stitching the last two LHN Monthly ornaments I had and the two I ordered arrived in the mail.

"The Merry Skater" by LHN

Stitched on 28 count Dove Gray Cashel

with DMC and Mill Hill beads

I changed the color of the fabric used from a natural color to the Dove Gray.

"FaLaLa" by LHN

Stitched on 32 count Linen with

DMC and Crescent Colours

I totally restarted this project instead of doing all the frogging on the previous one I had started. Again I made several changes to suit myself. I used the CC's for the green branches and the girls dresses. I left off the beads, I just didn't like the way they looked and felt they really didn't add to the design. The stitching went much smoother this time and I'm very happy I restarted it.

I am now working on "Peppermint Twist" and then will stitch "Frosty Flakes" which I will probably change some of the colors since I'm not sure I like the ones used.

That's it for this update. Stay tuned for some really exciting family news in the upcoming days.

Until Next Time....Happy Stitching and have a Great Weekend
