Last finish of 2020

 I just put the last stitches in this my last finish of 2020

It’s from Cross stitch with art on Etsy

The fabric is the October fabric club from Sparklies which actually a very pale blue and I used DMC 606 and 699 

Secret stitch finish

 I got it finished in the end but it was a couple of days late for Christmas 

This year’s family ornaments

 It’s a damp, breezy day in November as I write this post and set it post today.

I can’t have the post go live as soon as it’s written as at least 2 of the recipients of these read my blog occasionally.

Earlier today I finished the last of the ornaments for family.

I’ve been making ornaments for my parents and both daughters for a few years now and I always try and make sure they are similar 

This year I went with this stocking set from Threadabead

Had a few hiccups along the way with them, like spending an hour looking for one of the oranges in the snowman’s nose and giving mum a call with the long shot of having lent it to her for something even tho she’s not beading right now and finding I had!  To using the beads I’d set side for the hanger on Santa’s secret book and having to find something else I could use.

But I’m really happy with the way they turned out and will eventually get round to making a set for my tree.
