Candy Cane Cottage

Although I haven't posted for a couple of weeks, my needle has been busy. Alas I can't show you as yet. There are 3 Christmas ornaments on the finishing pile. One is definitely a gift, one is definitely mine but the third one ... I just don't know. Next weekend I might try and do a little finishing, then it might become a bit clearer.

So onto Santas Village. Number 8 is finished. I am about to start the third and final row and number 9 - Santa's Sleighworks. I had 2 charts arrive together so I can carry on and get closer to that finish line. I think I will be able to also start and fill in the french knots that are missing as my stitching frame will not touch that first row. I'm sure Santa and Mrs Claus will be pleased.

    Wow! Your Santa's Village is looking like Christmas in Fairyland. It is so full of Christmas promises: stockings, reindeer, presents, sugar plums candy canes and lots of magical Christmas surprises!

    Looking forward to seeing your finished ornaments :-)
