Last week, I said that I was determined to complete the Dimensions kit I started last year and that’s exactly what I did.
I worked monogamously on ‘Toy Shopee’, and now is finished.
When I put it down last week, I only had across the top left to
stitch, and that didn’t really take too long to do, but what did take the time was all the back stitching and French Knots.
Mind you, it’s so worth the effort because it brings out all the detail.
I’ve already ordered the custom frame, so I’m happy that this will be on display in time for Christmas.
Updated to show FFO (10/12/25)
Talking of frames, I had another delivery from Picture Frames Express last week, so, what four projects do you think I'm I planning to fully finish?
You'll have to wait until next week to find out!
The only other thing I stitch on this week, was to start the pre-stitching for the second of my Jingle Ball Classes and that is‘ 'Snow Globes' from Hello from Liz Mathews.
I want to try and get the stitching done for at least two globes because once we hit December I will also be working on two daily Sals and my December Ornament, so I don’t think I’ll have much spare time, but we will have to see.
I hope your plans for
December stitching are well under way and you have some wonderful designs in
the pipeline.
Happy Stitching!

I don't like to do a lot of backstitching but, I agree, it really adds to the design here. Great finish, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it at all! I know it's not strictly backstitch but I've been considering having a go a a larger piece of Blackwork. Happy Stitching!
DeleteI love that finish! Have the kit too…your completion of it is beautiful and very inspiring! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
ReplyDeleteThank you Vonna. I have the Coffee Shop ready to stitch next year and hopefully it won't take as long long to stitch as this one did! Happy Thanksgiving to you too. xx
DeleteLove your toy shop finish, Sue--there is SO much detail in that one and so many color changes. It looks quite challenging to me, but you stitched it beautifully! I look forward to seeing how you use those frames and seeing the finished snow globes from the Jingle Ball!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. I stitched 'A Kiss for Snowman' last year and said than that I'd never stitch another one, then this happened. And I have another waiting in the wings. Opps! Happy Stitching! Sue x
DeleteI love Dimensions kit, yours turned out lovely.
