Winter's Eve - The Prairie Schooler

 

Very Merry Christmas - Medina Originals

The next are ornaments from the CCN Classic Collection - Holly Jolly and  By the Chimney.

SAL Updates

Last night I stayed up late (2:30am) to finish up Afternoon in Paris by Country Cottage Needleworks. A couple of weeks ago I had decided to make it into a pillow so I went online to find an appropriate fabric to use with it.

I found this on Esty (I actually ended up ordering it from a Canadian online fabric store - cheaper shipping.) The fabrics are part of Robert Kaufman's City Chic 2 collection by Anne Tavoletti.

(It doesn't show properly in the photos but the background is actually white.)

This morning I put this together.

I am rather pleased with the results.   I have now completed Day Twenty-Nine of the DUCJFC2016 and the Walk in the City with My Lady SAL. 

I will be working on the following in March for my other SALs.

Stitch-Alongs

Yesterday, I decided to stop at Day Forty in the DUCCJFC2016 because my WIPs were calling me.

I have join a few SALs in blogworld and on Facebook and so I will be working on those projects first.

On Facebook the Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group is having a "Walk in the City with My Lady" SAL and one of the chart options for this SAL is CCN's Afternoon in Paris. Since I had already started Afternoon in Paris I decided to join this SAL. Here is my progress on it as of last night.

Another SAL on facebook is JCS Stitch Along where we are stitching 12 ornaments from 2015 issue of JCS Special Holiday issue. I running a bit behind but hope to be caught up by the end of the month.

 January is BRD's Snowmates which I am already stitching for my February choice in the Christmas Ornie SAL 2016.
 

February's ornie in the JCS Stitch along is PS' Winter's Eve. 

I am also in the Hallowe'en Ornie SAL 2016 but I haven't made any further progress on February's ornie since January 31st.

Well, that is it for now. Take care and happy stitching!!!

THANK YOU FOR VISITING!!!
