Angle Globe – Mill Hill (MH16-1935).

Christmas seems so far away at the start of the year, but in the blink of an eye, we are already into July and just 24 weeks until the big day.

Thankfully, the 12in24 ornament stitch-a-long that Carol from Stitching Dream Blogspot has been hosting for the last few years ensures I have at least 12 new ornaments to hang on my tree.  

I’ve stitched another of the charmed Mill Hill christmas ornaments for July, and finished it simply with sticky backed velvet on the reverse.

While I was in the mood for fully finishing, I finally got around to stitching the buttons onto ‘Winter Reindeer’ by Dirty Annie’s and put it in a frame.

I’m happy with it but I think it still looks a little bit plain, so when the shops start getting the Christmas decorations in, I’ll be looking for something to glam it up a little.

Happy Stitching!

Winter Reindeer – Dirty Annie’s

It’s time for Christmas in July and I thought now would a good time to work on a few of the Wips I started on New Years Eve last year, as part of the NYE 12 x 12 challenge.

This is where it was left after working on it from 6 to 7pm that evening.

I stitched on it for a further four days during January and February and haven’t stitched on it since.

It took a further five days this month to get to my finish.

All I have to do now is find five small buttons for finishing but as you can see, the scrap of fabric I pulled out was a little tight on the side edges, so when I come to fully finishing it I’m going to have to be very careful.
