Mittens

I started with one stitch, did not like it, reverse stitched those out and then decided this one would look good for mittens.

Belt and Cuffs

I added the cuffs on the coat and also the belt today.

Another package

I added the bow to the first package, added a holly leaf button to his hat, and then stitched the second package that has holly leaves here and there.

The tree

I finished the tree and the trunk. I stitched the first package and am trying to decide it I like the red and white bow on the first package.

Today

I added a Beard and started the tree. I need to brush the beard but wanted to get the tree started before fluffing.

Personality

I finished the hat brim, did his hair and added his moustache. He is getting personality.

Moving on

Santa has a face and I have started the turkey work for the brim of his hat

All of it

I finished the background on the left so the background is finished.

One side

The background is done down the right side and a bit more of the left today.

And now

I added more background and the hat today.

Progress

After a bit of decision making, I have chosen the Giant T stitch using two strands of Gloriana and one of Accentuate for the background on Santa.

Santa

I am going to do a line drawn Santa on gray canvas, which is really hard to see, but I have started pulling threads.

Then

This is a design by Lynn Payette. It starts with 18 count canvas and then silk lame is ironed on and embellishments added. It was supposed to be a pin but I turned it into a small picture instead. The design is 1.25 x 3.

Finished

The letters are all done! This one goes in the finishing pile.

Framed and Gifted

Wonders of the Solar System is framed!

And it has been gifted! My great nephew loves it!

Today

A busy day, but I got in a few more layers.

The new project

I started a Kick Back & Stitch design called Aldebaran. The outside border is Smyrna crosses and the Waffle stitch is Neon Rays and Kreinik ribbon.

A repeat

You know I usually won't stitch anything twice, but I did repeat the cross as another gift.

Woohoo!

I got a lot more done on Neptune, using all Silk Lame Braid so far.

Neptune

I started Neptune using the colors on the chart but swapped the darkest blue for a lighter one as the outside edge wasn't showing up. So not as much progress, but progress anyway.
