Christmas makes finished.... orders gone out.

“I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

All my Christmas orders have been posted and it feels great that I am ahead of my time.  I really enjoy making the Christmas stockings and ribbons.  I am working on a new robin design for next year with my watercolour paints at the moment... I feel it is good to swap about.  Design one day, stitch another it keeps everything fresh and exciting. I might do a little for me now!! 

I have had another idea about the mermaid sampler I am working on and I am awaiting some amazing fabric to come in the post from America.  I bought it on Ebay and it is the most stunning paisley I have ever seen and so rare, when it arrives I will pop a picture on here for you to look at.  So at the moment I can do no more to this particular design, so it is change tack day and work on something else.

I will leave you with some of my Christmas work pictures...... Have a great day.

Happy Stitching!
