I'm not sure why I do this to myself every year...haha...but I'm always stitching and finishing just before Thanksgiving. Usually it's ornaments I forgot I needed to stitch. I still have quite a bit of finishing I have to do, but I've had this pattern in my stash for ages and I knew I just had to stitch it for this Christmas. This is called Believe by Erin Elizabeth Designs. It's stitched on 36 count Twilight over two with one strand of DMC B5200. I love the stark contrast and the color of the fabric!
Since I like to decorate the day after Thanksgiving, I'm in a last minute rush finishing up things I can decorate with...haha. Earlier this year I found a clock that was abandoned at a local thrift store. I loved the shape and knew exactly what I wanted to use it for. I took out the hands and mechanism and I hope to get it painted in a few days. I can't wait to show you what I'm going to do with it, and hope it matches what I'm picturing in my head. LOL We will see!
I also finished this Mill Hill kit. This is called Fishing Penguin. I used Cornflower blue 32 count fabric to stitch it on. I'm hoping to finish it in a white tart pan. I hope it comes out like I'm thinking it will.
I wish I could stay home and get some crafting done, but I'm off to see ICE! at the National Harbor today with the family. It had been an annual tradition for us until last year when they repeated a theme. This year the theme is The Polar Express. I'm excited to see how Little Miss Sassy Pants reacts to this. She loved the Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer theme two years ago...but she's older now. Ok, I'm off to get ready! Watch this space! If all goes well tomorrow, I'll have an update on finishes, and perhaps some ICE! pictures. Have a great weekend!
