So, the 12th day of Christmas is almost gone, so does Epiphany. I really wanted to stitch a little project with the Three Kings but I could not find any! I spent a whole day searching and nothing, zilch, zero. Not on-line and not in my stash. I guess I will have to make a note of it and be prepared for the next year. I had in mind a little silhouette with 3 guys on camels and a bright star, stitched with white floss on the navy blue fabric. I will keep looking for it but if you have anything like that in your stash or know where I can find it, please let me know.
Did you know that in many Latin American countries, it is the three wise men and not Santa Claus who bring gifts for children? Children write letters to the wise men telling them how good they were and what gifts they want.
This week/weekend I've manage to stitch a little. On the 1st of January I started 'Snowing, a SAL with Tama. Isn't much but what you see here is the whole width of the first page. There are 16 pages in total. So far it is a very easy stitching with no confetti stitches.
I have also worked on the pin cushion until I run out of 'pale gold' floss. The good news is that the missing floss is on the way and in the mean time I can work on motifs that do not require that color.
Yesterday I've added a few stitches to 'Songs of the Season'. I love this piece and it fell good to get back to it.
I hope next week I will be more productive.
So long my friends,
Evalina
In the Southern US the King Cake is a big part of Mardi Gras. I thought you might find that interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou're stitching looks great!! And yep, here in TX, King Cake is a Mardi Gras thing :)
ReplyDeleteЧудесно,чудесно.
ReplyDeleteYour stitcheries are looking wonderful. We were at a Ukrainian Christmas celebration last night - although I believe the date is actually the 7th - which would be the same as what you are saying about the Georgian dates. Are Ukranians Georgian?
ReplyDeleteWow very lovely stitching..have a lovely week xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching. Love all your projects
ReplyDeleteWe could all have Christmas twice.
ReplyDeleteLife is full of coincidences until two days ago I hadn't heard about the Russian date for Christmas and now I have read about it here and been told about it by another friend..
Have you considered Three Kings - Cross Stitch Pattern by Imaginating? It may be too big but you could do the side with the Kings and move the star over above them. Oh - but it doesn't have the camels for you.
ReplyDeleteYour cake and your stitching look wonderful.
Great progress on all your pieces. They are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteEee! Your start on Snowing is so cute! Just because I know how he'll end up! (Or is he a 'her' for you?) Beautiful work - your stitches look so neatly made.
