Well I didn't get to stitch on every IHSW this year, but thankfully I had a little time this weekend to get some stitching done. I'm so thrilled that I was able to finish Christmas All Through The House before Christmas. I started here...
and here is where I ended Friday night.
I found this pattern by Patricia Andrle in the Sept/Oct 1994 of Cross Stitch and Country Crafts magazine. I sure miss that magazine!! Unfortunately I won't be able to fully finish it until after the holidays. The outside of the house was stitched on 25 count Bone evenweave while the interior was stitched on 36 count Antique White. I'm looking forward to getting it framed! There is a companion piece to this that is a Flower Shop. I have it kitted...hopefully one day I'll get to stitch that one too!
I've been working on Sarah Sanderson by The Scarlett House also this weekend. She was set aside in favor of getting some Christmas stitching done, but I'm back stitching on her again. It's tedious work as I'm working on 46 count over two. I love how small things are. Here is where I started...
Here is where I finished Sunday night...I almost reached my goal of getting off that third page...almost...haha
I was able to get my wrapping done today. I'll have my oldest Granddaughter tomorrow so I tried to get all my extra stuff done today.... sadly I will still have to make my now famous meatballs (in my own mind) the morning of Christmas Eve for the party that night. No rest for the wicked as they say...lol. I hope you all were able to make great progress on your stitching! Merry Christmas and Happy Stitching!!
