There are LOTS of confetti stitches in this one, so it will be interesting how I will secure them without carrying the floss too far.
This stocking is going pretty quickly so hopefully I will be done midway through this week.

JBW Chalet with Snowflakes - WIP
I started Chalet with Snowflakes yesterday 7/11 and was able to complete all of the snowflakes and one of the trees.
There are LOTS of confetti stitches in this one, so it will be interesting how I will secure them without carrying the floss too far.
This stocking is going pretty quickly so hopefully I will be done midway through this week.

JBW Reindeer stocking - stitching finished
Hi, I finished the stitching of my reindeer stocking that I'm making for my dad
I will need to sew it to some felt and do some finishing touches later.
This is what i was up to on the 30/10.
I finished all the stitching on the 4/11 and I think it looks really great
After spending a long time finding backstitch letters that I liked, I backstitched in my dad's name yesterday 6/1.
Will start on the stocking for my grandad tonight probably, which has a house with snow and pine trees, I think it's going to look great.

"Congratulations" Is finished and framed! :D
I ordered three custom made frames for "congratulations" from frame shop (and for two other DMC kit hedgehogs which I have yet to start) They arrived on thursday, which was really quick because I only ordered them on tuesday night.
I decided to half-stitch in a very light blue background because I think it looks a lot more finished to have a background on 14 ct.
Today I spent some time searching for some nice backstitch letters for my signature. I decided that it would just be a capital E (I hope to use this across all my framed pieces) However many of the E's didn't have enough detail or flair which was dissapointing but i ended up finding a nice set of lettering here which had an E that I liked.
After I stitched the signature I ironed my cross stitch to some iron-on interfacing and then used masking tape to hold everything in place, and I think it came out really well in the end .
This is the back, which I neatened up by putting strips of masking tape of the messy peices I used to secure the interfacing.
I will be posting my progress on the ornaments in a post soon
