Gentle friends, just a quick post of the stitching I've worked on while watching Downton Abbey, Series 5 a couple of times over the last week......
... I've finished up "Santa's Stocking Store" and have made a start on "Reindeer Stables." I've only set two goals for my stitching this year - to have "Santa's Village" and that lovely sampler "Sojouner" completed - here's were I left off on that piece....
.... I think that these are both doable..... and I have a couple of other pieces I'd like to complete, but I'll keep the list realistic for now......

That's it for today sports fans, thanks for stopping by, do stop again!!
Take care,
edgar
Both pieces are beautiful, Edgar. I need to set more realistic goals for myself, but this year my goals are determined by "have" to stitch, rather than "want" to stitch. Fortunately whether it's have to or want to, I love to stitch! Happy 2016...
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Edgar <3
ReplyDeleteI like your goals for 2016, and agree that keeping it simple makes it totally doable....and I can't wait to watch your progress...which is gorgeous, I might add.
Hugs
Wow! Your Santa's Village looks great and makes me want to dust off mine and get it going again!
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful pieces - will be lovely to watch them grow in 2016. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeletehappy new year. both are pretty and so much doNE already.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good dose of realism! :)
ReplyDeleteBoth doable with your nimble fingers! Happy New Year to you and Rico!
Love both your New Years projects goals. I have been stitching Sojourner as well and thats one of my projects I want to complete also.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching. Happy New Year love Annette
Beautiful WIPs and you should easily be able to finish them off this year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your stitching Edgar. I just started on Easter by Cross Eyed Cricket. I am enjoying the pastel colors and I am working on a piece of seafoam linen. Thankful for my magnifier and q snaps.
ReplyDeleteI would say they are great goals!
ReplyDeleteYou stitch so quickly that I am sure you will finish both of those in the next 12 months. They are both so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching! I think your goals are completely doable. Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteEdgar,
ReplyDeleteYou left us hanging with that Christmas cake! I read it all, step
by step, waiting to see the final decorated work of art! Also, was it delicious as it
looked??? If you have any photos of it, let's see it!!
Happy New Year!
Looking great Edgar - I've had Santa's Village kitted up for 2 yrs now and finally going to start it this month. Glad I'm not the only one lagging behind getting it done LOL. I'm trying to make realistic goals this year and just keep working on my UFO's and other items from my stash. I finally reached the point where new stash isn't calling out to me much anymore so I'm happy to stitch what I already have.
ReplyDeleteNice to see my Santa`s Village is not the only one as work in progress. I was wondering what the name and designer is of the pattern for your stitching in your over head `O gentle words & peaceful ways`. Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteLike your goals. But knowing your speed, I am sure there are going to be many more finishes
ReplyDeleteHave a great crafty bakey 2016!!
Going to be fun watching these two come to life.
ReplyDeleteLovely progress on both pieces Edgar!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Those are both such pretty projects. I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely and also so different from one another. Should be fun stitching!
