Another Christmas is upon us, and, as is "tradition" here with me, I once again find myself hanging my head in shame regarding the many incomplete Christmas items I had hoped to stitch in time for the 25th.
First off is this Dimensions Gold kit which I've admired for a couple of years and finally purchased from EBay. I opened the kit this morning just to glance at the charts, threads, and instructions and immediately felt my heart racing like a kid opening his gifts under the tree! That joy and thrill of starting a new project was slightly hindered when I pulled out the "pre-sorted" threads for the project and found this:
Can we say, "Ugh!" However, I'm undaunted and will persevere in untangling this "rat's nest" of threads and, hopefully, will start stitching this shortly. I mean, what's wrong with adding one more project to the ever-growing WIP pile, right? (Don't faint - this is the stack presently tottering next to my stitching spot:
Yes, I know, I do suffer from a case of SADD (Stitcher's Attention Deficit Disorder) which is why there really are do few photos of things actually FINISHED on this blog. Lol!
Aside from the stack there, I have a Scarlet Letter sampler calling my name over on my Millenium frame and stand. And, these three WIP's that are in various states of completion (or should I say various states of "beginning?)
Santa - can't you spare an elf or two who knows how to stitch to come down to sunny Florida and away from the cold North Pole?
Away We Ride (Blackbird Designs)
Hearts and Holly (Lizzie Kate)
Quaker Christmas II - Songs of the Season
Merry Christmas to all of my stitching friends out there! I have to run now -
that Dimensions kit is calling my name!
