Something new

I don't usually have more than one project at a time but I have made an exception since stitching and showing inch by inch of basketweave is boring. This is Witch Hat 373 by Heidi. The background is white skip skip tent and I stitched the web in place and the orange spider string and have started the shadow stitching rows for finishing.

some of the first holly

I got some of the first Holly and more background done today.

Progress

I made it to the first set of Holly today and will stitch that with the Silk Lame Braid in greens while continuing the background with the Pepper Pot.

Holly Belt

While I wait for thread for Hocus Pocus I started the Holly Belt, B44, from Julia and purchased from The needlepoint Clubhouse.

Finishing!

Santa with tree is finished! It is a standup and I love the Santa faces on one of the bows!

Another day

So I thought bats would work and now as I look at it, they are way too dark and overpower the rest of the canvas. Ripit time again. It does not always work the way I think it will.

So this happened

So first I did this and I did not like it! So....I reverse stitched and

It will look better tomorrow......
