Christmas Cross-stitch



At the start of the holiday season, I did get out my Christmas nemesis and I even stitched a bit on it (the wings on the red angel). But then I got sick with a horrible flu and even when I felt well enough to sit upright on the sofa and watch telly and stitch, that one hurt my head too much, so I needed to grab something easier and less headachy. I have now finished this (and even framed and hung it - how's that for efficiency?) so perhaps before the Christmas stuff goes away I shall have a bit more of a go at the angels piece. It's become so much of a tradition that I couldn't really finish it ever anyway, or what would I have to complain about each year?

I've made more block lotto blocks today as well, though I still can't show them - and some more scrappy blocks. Nearing the bottom of the scrap basket even more now - hopefully a few more days will have it completely empty. Not that that state will last long, of course.

Funny, I have an embroidery pillow I have been working on for over 10 years in fits and starts. I am only about 1/3 done. I thought I was the only one. Kiki

Sorry to hear you haven't been well..I know there have been some nasty bugs around this time. Hope you are all better now and that it didn't affect your Christmas.
