Some Progress

I have started working on the cups. Most of this one is done. I have outlined it, stitched the cup and the words.

The lettering

 

I have finished all the letters on Hot Cocoa!  Moving on to the cups of cocoa!

Hot Cocoa

 I have been stitching!  I have been working on the background for Hot Cocoa!  I finally finished it.  It is an 8 row darning pattern that I wanted to look like shiplap.  Canvas is by Nicole Tamarin and I purchased it from Stitcher's Garden.  Deb is the best!

The last section

I finished the bottom section of Santa's Village.  I changed the words to Merry Christmas from Peace on Earth.  All the gold coils are done in Kreinik.

Here is the finished piece.  I added the crystals on the sides of his coat to completed the piece.  Ready for the finisher!

 

The Village

 

The Village area of Santa's Village is completed.  On to the bottom area.

The Center Sky

 I have completed the center sky area with Santa, the reindeer and  add a moon face button.

Moving on

 

The coat is finished down the sides, his mittens are done and the sleight he is holding is all stitched.

Progress

 I am backing to getting some stitching done even though summer has lots more activities!  His face, hat, beard and top half of his coat are done.

The night sky

 I stitched the Night sky with 3 shades of Kreinik and then added the pearl beads for the snowflakes

Starting Something New

 I bought this from the stash I am currently selling!  Santa with village is by Alice Peterson/Barb Fox.  Let's get going on this!  It has threads and notes for stitching but I will be changing a lot of that, doncha know!

Finishing!

I received a package from Cindy Mckown!

Cat & Bat by Debbie Mumm

Building a Snowman by Scott Church

Beaver eating a candy cane by Scott Church

And the finish is a Turtle bag

One side of the Turtle Bag holds Italian Renaissance

The other side has Surf & Sand.

I cut each piece to fit the insert and also wrapped each side in Tulle to protect the beads.

 

Italian Renaissance is finished

The Italian Renaissance design is also stitched and ready for finishing.

 

Surf & Sand

Surf & Sand by Northern Pines.  I added some extra rows so it will fit in the finishing I am planning.

 

Progress on Italian Renaissance

All the beading, Japanese silver and Torsade are now in place! I added a couple of rows that were not in the directions. Italian Renaissance by Anna Marie Winter.

 

Snowman box

This little 1.5 x 1.5 design is by Associated Talents, RD 709 and he fits perfectly in the Sudberry Box I had in my stash!

 

What I have been doing!

I have been beading!  These are ready for Christmas 2022!  I beaded all but the fur on the mittens and then put them in the Lee ornaments.
