Preparing Xmas is even better than...

celebrating it...

Well, that's my point of view, I know some people don't share it. But I have always enjoyed anticipating a moment more than living it... Call it "living" my life.... Yup, I know.

But for a stitcher who loves Xmas, the best season is all year long. Here are a few of the things I have stitched for Xmas this year. There's more to come, of course...

Here's the Brightneedle Season petites Winter, I have now stitched the whole four seasons and I have really enjoyed it. What a shame they're no longer designing :( ...


This is a well known Prairie Schooler freebie . I have just added a red border and used overdyed green and red:


This is White Christmas by Ewe and Eye and Friends. I have replaced my initial with a silver snowflake:


Last but not least (and not really Xmas but has a feeling in it though), here's Tralala's under the stars (A la Belle Etoile). I haven't filled in the trees because I love the swirly designs of the branches and they wouldn't stand out enough if I filled them with some lighter green, as advised by the designer. I have bought this design there and they send worldwide for 1.50 euro only (just checked the site, it is discounted at the moment):


Next batch for soon, I hope. I'm still stitching reindeer, of course...

Thanks for the kind comments and thoughts. I'm not much there on the web and your blogs, but you are in my heart all the time.


Hugs to you all, Stitchers!

WOW! You HAVE been busy stitching that's for sure ;o)

I love your version of the PS snowman!

Everything is so lovely. I'm stitching both LHN skating patterns and they will be for DH and I. He used to be a speed skater before I met him :o)

Take care my friend!

Thanks for dropping by Lili. Makes me feel important. :)

Love your Christmas finishes. Are you making them into ornaments?

Blue Nutcrackers is nearly finished. Should have been completed last week but had soooooo much on my mind (don't worry - nothing bad). Right now I'm doing the Monday laundry and finishing up the last nutcracker. If I finish him today I'll send you a picture.

hugs, Margaret

I like Christmas decorating but not really christmas itself. I know how you feel. I love your stitching though...especially the Brightneedle and TraLaLa! The swirly trees are cute!

Very pretty finishes Lili. I especially like the first one.

Thank you for your comment on my blog. Yes, I will deal with the cold water but never for my dog. LOL Yes, when it comes to our furbabies only the best will do. :)
