Santa Was Good To Me

Due to the generousity of Ole St. Nick, my stash grew by five. In a related story... I was seen kissing Mrs. Claus after receiving these wonderful gifts. Added to my stash are...

• "Angel of the Morning" - Lavender & Lace, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum
• "Dance of the Roses" - Lavender & Lace, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum
• "Oh, Christmas Tree" - Lavender & Lace, Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum
• "Lady of the Mist" - Mirabilia, Nora Corbett
• "Petite Christmas Angels" - Joan Elliott

Thanks Santa ;-)

So the big question is.... what does this mean for my plan to start the Swirling Peacock? I am still on track for that. As Kate pointed out in my previous post "Christmas is Almost Here" , New year... New project. Most people wanted me to start the Swirling Peacock so the Swirling Peacock it is!

I am so close to finishing my last Folk Art Angel (wreath). I only have to finish a little bit of cross stitch, do all the back stitch and a few french knots (ugggg). Ok maybe I am not as close as I thought.

Happy Stitching!!!!

Christmas is Almost Here

So I figured it was time for an update. It is getting down to the wire and my Folk Art Angels are no done yet. Two are framed and ready to go (present & candle). One still needs some french knots (tree). And I am working on the one that is holding the wreath... I have the lower dress, border, hair and wings done. I did something different on the wreath angel... I did the white and grey in DMC Satin floss. It is really shiny with a slight purple hue. It looks good on the wings and dress... it kinda makes them glow! There are all the presents to wrap so I can only commit so much time... ugggg. I will post final pictures after Christmas.

The family is headed to California for Christmas to visit family.

The real question is.... What project should I work on after I get back???

1. Guardian Angel (L&L) - My very first project and about 1/2 done.

2. Summer Fairy (Joan Elliott) - Just started.  

3. Swirling Peacock (Joan Elliott) - Not Started

4. The Gardener (Joan Elliott) - Not Started

5. Oriental Lady (Joan Elliott) - Not Started

Please let me know what you think...

Happy Stitching!!!
