Winter Woodland and a Santa

Somehow, in my absent-mindedness, when I posted my end of February WIPocalypse projects, I missed Winter Woodland.  I stitched on it near the beginning of the month, but then also did some of the words later.  Anyway, here it is.  I hope to get started on the next square this month, and get a couple more words stitched as well.

With this month's Theme-a-licious, we are supposed to stitch on a different project each day.  So far, I have stitched on BRD's Mystery Sampler - Blue Jeans and Daisies (Mar. 1), Mill Hill's Greenland Santa (Mar. 3_, and LHN Elizabeth McGuire (Mar 4).  I was not able to stitch on Saturday, March 2nd, because I was just too busy with other things...sigh.  Here is a progress picture for the Greenland Santa.  It is actually starting to look like a Santa.  I have just his hat left, and then the sheep next to him.  I just love working with the beads.

Tomorrow, I am going to get back to the Mystery Sampler, which is such a fun spring piece.  Have a fun week of stitching everyone!

February Theme-a-licious

This month is Figural February, and we are supposed to stitch on our WIPs that have figures, or people in them.  So far, I have two to show you that meet this criteria.

The first is Coeur de Printemps by A Mon Ami Pierre.  I finished the boys legs and shoes and some of the lace at the bottom, and I stitched the girls shoes and the bottom hem of her dress.

I also worked on Mill Hill's Buttoned and Beaded Greenland Santa.

I plan to work on the Dear Diary Sampler, which also has people in it in this second half of the month, and hopefully have some progress to show there at the end of the month.  

Finally, here is a picture of Logan, who likes to lay on the fireplace.  We think he learned to do this from the Oliver the cat.  

Tiny Bit of Christmas

Yesterday, I finished stitching a little Mill Hill Beaded Gingerbread pin on perforated paper. Although this is supposed to be finished as a pin, I am going to make it into an ornament.

And then this morning, I cut it out and did the final finishing. This was fun and quick to do, and I have one more of these in my stash...a penguin. I hope I can get it done before Christmas also, but lots of other projects are beckoning as well.

I wish everyone a very peaceful Wednesday and a good week of stitching!
