It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Did you sing that title?  haha  I love this time of year, all the tinsel and bows come out, and the cross stitch I only get to see for a month or two a year are hauled out of the closet and placed on display.  I have been stitching for a long time, and my house is bursting at the seams with stitched Christmas stuff...LOL  I did go on a finishing spree this year, and got two sets of 12 Days of Christmas ornaments finished off.  I found a way to hang one set today, and I love how it turned out.  These are from the Stoney Creek magazines from 2019.    I placed a garland over a red swag curtain I have hanging in my dining room area year round.  Then I hung the ornaments on the garland.  I love how it looks!  Not to figure out what to do with the other set....

I found my Merry Christmas Bellpull by Wiehenberg Designs (I'm sure I spelled that wrong...sorry!!)  I had finished last year and had to find a place higher to hang it...Max was very interested in the little tassel at the bottom...haha.  So far he has left the tree alone which I'm grateful for!

Last, I picked up Christmas Snowflake that was designed by Shannon Christine Designs.  This was stitched on 32 count Navy over two and I took it to have it framed last week.  I'm excited to say it was finished early...but to be fair, I asked to hand lace it myself, so all they really had to do was pop it in the frame.  (I sure miss framing!!  But I still have skills so I saved a bit by hand lacing it myself).  They asked me to please fill out an application...they are swamped this time of year.  Anyway, I love how it turned out!!

Now to figure out what to do with the other set....the wheels keep turning.  Our tree is up, but I haven't placed the ornaments on it yet...that's next on the agenda...stay safe and Happy Stitching!!
