A Christmas Stitching Finish

Gentle Freinds, I was bound, damned, and determined to get this sucker finished before Christmas... and I achieved my goal!! I finished this up yesterday...

"Christmastide at Holly House" - The Scarlett House - 10/31 - 12/22
40 ct "Fawn" LL - Using the called for silks, except I used "Icing" Belle Soie for the snowflakes.

The changes I made as I stitched along were few, I left off the single stitch for the deer's eyes, I added a white cornice to the roofline and crowns to the chimneys, left off the line of white that was on top of the chimneys,... was that supposed to be snow??? I wonder?? I also filled the windows with NPI 998, I liked the dark grey better than more brown as was called for.  Other than that it's pretty much as charted.  A fun piece to work on, I do love Tanya's charts and the stuff she does!!

There you go sports fans.  Thanks for stopping by do stop again.  Stay Safe!

Good Thoughts! Good Words! Good Deeds!

    Happy Christmas. Your stitching is lovely as ever. I am always interested to see what changes you make, every piece that I stitch I deliberately change something to make it my own. x
