How are you all this fine morning. Another Bank Holiday here in the UK and we have OK-ish weather. Nice and warm but not a lot of sunshine. Oh well can't have everything!
I have been enjoying a crafty weekend of stitching and finishing. Some I can show you and some are for a later date. This post is about the last 4 of the Little Sheep Virtues. Have I told you how much I have enjoyed these!! Joyfulness just has to be my favourite being all Christmassy and I was determined to stitch them in order so that was my reward for getting through them all.
All of the blanket stitch finishing has been completed with 3 strands of DMC thread. Each one has used a colour that was in the recommended threads ... except for 'Gratitude'. Although I did want to use the recommended colours, DMC 936 (the darkest green) was just not dark enough to use so I used DMC 934 instead.
