A Little Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, well, I got antsy about the border meeting up and so I went ahead and got the "vine" connected...here's a snaparoo...

... what a relief when the two points met... exactly... for some reason as I stitched along I felt I was off a thread, and I would go back over the stitching and re-count, and re-count, but never found a mistake..... but I knew there was one there... and now I'm proved wrong.  A good thing as fudging the border would have been a real pain.

A Little Stitchin' and a Thanksgiving Snap

Gentle Friends, I had some extra time over the weekend for stitchin', here's where I am at the moment...

.. I went back and frogged the "C"... then replaced the called for WDW "Parchment" with WDW "Pebble."  I like the "Pebble" as it is still light but it shows up against the linen.  This is turning out to be a really fun stitch with all the colors.  It's not a very traditional Christmas piece.

Here's a snap from Thanksgiving ...from l to r... sweet Rico, our dear friend, Teresa, my baby sister Cissy, and her husband my super BIL, John, we were a smaller but festive group this year.....

... those damn candles just never would stand up... I remember my Mom, these same silver candle sticks, and the many "candle battles" she had during the Holidays... a fun memory but so frustrating...is there ever enough Stick-um??

A Little Stitchin'

 Gentle friends, here's a snap of the start of the Christmas stitch...

"Feliz Navidad' - by Blackbird Designs

Number 2 in the Christmas Sampler Series

40ct "Barn Owl" from Birds of a Feather

Called for WDW Floss

The picture makes the linen look more yellow than it actually is, and the Q-snap makes the stitching look wonky but you get the idea.  I am thinking I'll need to switch out the "Parchment" floss for something else as it totally disappears against the fabric... the letter "C" is what's pushing me towards that decision.  Other than that I'm pretty happy with the rest of the colors so far.
