Much like last years’ attempt, (#11) I’ve been working on adapting existing cross stitch patterns to put my own spin on my Christmas cards.
This year I’ve picked up a selection of magazines, including Christmas Collections – which I’d highly recommend, and started selecting patterns that I hope will work well as cards, be reasonably quick to finish and enjoyable to stitch.
As I hope you’ll be able to tell, this is a festive figgy pudding with all the trimmings.
I’m really pleased with how this little fellow has turned out. It’ll go great with some Christmas ribbon I picked up recently, and a couple of snow flake embellishments for added effect.
Thanks to all who have liked and / or commented on my recent Christmas posts – it’s lovely to have a little place on the world wide web to share your hobby and passions and get such positive responses in return.
You’re all lovely.
