On Saturday I was going to stitch some more (since I decided to do only one project until it is done) but I realized that July it is almost over and I'm missing my challenge where I've committed to stitch three Christmas ornaments. So far I've done only one and I was 2 behind... Well, I found some red aida (I do not stitch on aida any more so that was asking for a trouble) and decided to use one of the charts that I received on my birthday (there will be a whole birthday wrap up post later, after I finish celebrating). I stitched about 4.5 hours on Sunday and here is the result:
That will be one big ornament... I have no idea what I was thinking...
So long my friends,
Evalina
LOL - I stitched that and your right, it will be an awfully big ornament! Send it someone with one heck of a tree!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that can go to D.C. for the National Christmas tree. lol I like the way you are thinking ahead. I was just thinking about doing a little Christmas shopping this coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I learned about the Philippines (I am in Toronto for 4 more weeks) is that Christmas runs from starts in 'ber (September) and ends in late January or Feb. They love that holiday!
By the way, if you're not doing anything, I am hosting a "Dog Days of Summer" 3-day blog fest if you're interested. It runs from Aug 10-12.
Cheers!
Great stitching!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching Evalina, great reindeer it will be great when finished!

Both are awesome but love the colors in the first piece you show. Loving forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteboth are so lovely..well done xx
ReplyDeleteThe reindeer is wonderful. Perhaps it can be a little hanging instead of a big ornament.
ReplyDeleteThey both look great! You made a great progress on your ornament, and I really love the colors of the haunted house!

The Hallowe'en piece looks wonderful and that's a great start on your ornament.
ReplyDeleteLots of great stitching. Love both those projects. The colours in the halloween one sure do pop on that background and I love the red on white piece. Looking forward to seeing what you decide on the finishing of this one.
ReplyDeleteThe halloween pice is coming out great. the deer looks great to. You did a lot.
ReplyDeleteall those colors in that dark fabric.. looks amazing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these! (Especially the Halloween one, I must admit!) :-)

Lovely projects! I love white on red but yes, it is a big ornament.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both your pieces! I really like your halloween house :)
ReplyDeleteWhen is your birthday? Mine is today, but I'm not sharing my age! If you really want to know, you can check my blog. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove both of these. I was going to do an ornament a month and that hasn't worked out so well. I've stitched three and finished one. And it's July. Oh well. That's the problem with having so many projects and never enough stitching time!
Your doing great on HH. I haven't touched mine in weeks. Love the ornament on red. Just found out that my carotid artery on the left side of my neck is 90% blocked and I have to have surgery. So haven't done much of anything except some jigsaw puzzles. Keep up the stitchin.

Grats on all the progress, Evalina. I love the ornie. It's darling!!! And your Ursula Michaels is coming along well. Halloween House is the name, I think... Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI do love that Halloween WIP. The ornament is also very cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on Halloween House! I love the fabric. You can hang your ornie from a doorknob instead of the tree!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of that Halloween piece. The fabric makes it.
ReplyDeleteI love the reindeer, but it does look big for an ornament :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the Halloween WIP
Love the greens in the Halloween piece. You could always make a small flat wall hanging for the reindeer instead of hanging it on the tree!
ReplyDeleteYou've made great progress!
