It's been a while since I've been able to get some quality stitching done. I finally have my craft room all organized and it's so easy to find things now! Yippee!! The only problem is I promised to do a few things for others, so I can't really stitch for myself now, but that's ok! I did finish up my 12 Berries of Christmas...and here are the last 4 that I recently finished! These are designed by Erica Michaels and these are stitched on 32 count fabric over two.
8 Maids a Milking
6 Geese a laying
5 Golden Rings
4 Calling Birds
Now to find time to actually get them fully finished!
I had a day last week when I got some framing done. I showcased two last week for Gifted Gorgeousness, so here are the other two that I finished up. They are proudly displayed on my mantle!
The first is Be Still by My Big Toe. This was stitched on 28 count Ivory over two and is in a 8X8 frame.
The other is Count Your Blessings by Little House Needleworks. This was stitched on 40 count Burch over two, and is framed in a 3 X 3 frame.
I finally finished up my Christmas Snowflake by Shannon Christine designs. It was a challenge to me to get this finished. I am not a big fan of beading, and this was truly a toughie for me! But....I love how it came out and now I have to think how I want to frame it...This was stitched on 32 count Midnight fabrics by Stephanie (I love her fabric!!!) over two!
I also finished up 6 Geese a laying and 7 Swans a swimming in the 12 Days of Christmas series published in Stoney Creek Magazine over the 4 issues printed in 2019.
I also finished up Giving Thanks by Little House Needleworks. I'm debating on how to finish this off....frame or cube? Decisions Decisions. Any ideas?
I guess that's all I've had time for this month. I need to catch up in Gloria and work on the wedding sampler...but first I have to get started in The Last Supper that I promised to stitch for my church, and get some masks decorated for a friend of mine. Never a dull moment at DJ's Digs!
I hope all is well with everyone, stay safe, keep well, and Happy Stitching!!

Each piece is so pretty, DJ! Well done on each one! I love the frame you used for the My Big Toe piece. Hmmm...I would think a cube or even a flat fold for the LHN Giving Thanks piece. Enjoy your weekend!
You've been stitching up a storm this month! The 12 Days Strawberries are all lovely, I really like the 5th Day.
The framed pieces look great and I love that Ornate Snowflake, just stunning!
So many finishes pieces and they are all lovely. You have been busy.
