Happy New Year!

Dear friends and fellow bloggers,

Welcome to 2018! A Happy New Year to you all!

Another year of stitching craziness delights.

So I did have a Christmas Day start, Snow Day by Country Cottage Needleworks. I finished it yesterday evening. It is quite a good size even though it is stitched on 40ct, finishing at a size of 7" x 5". I'm debating on how to finish this one. I have a frame which could work, but it might be better if it were painted although I'm really not sure. It will go away until I can mull it over some more.

I was hoping to start on Parchment Tapestry by Rosewood Manor today, however I decided to buy a new stitching frame as my other ones are getting a bit tired. I have a couple of smaller Elbesse rotating frames which I do like as I can get them tight - and in my price range! So I opted for a larger one. I don't like the ones with the clips on although I do take the webbing off nowadays on the rotating ones.

 

So I have put in a few stitches on Simply Spring by The Drawn Thread instead.

 

Carol emailed to see if I was ready for our SAL. Of course! January and February are kitted up. I'm thinking I shall put up a post towards the end of the month with just the monthly ornament - so look out for those. Is everyone else ready? I hope you have your designs chosen - for January at least. :)
