Hi, Christine. I am working on Mill Hill's "Sweater Weather" ornament. It is a little unusual (at least for me) as it is stitched as two separate sections which are then assembled to make the sweater. Have you ever come across a two-piece in your prolific Mill Hill ornament stitching experience? It is my "snack" project while I am rotating amongst 25 full coverage WIPs. Take care.

Loved your update. I was sooo happy to see it ❤ I love the chickadees kit, they are known as ‘tits’ in the Uk, we have blue tits, coal tits, great tits and long tailed tits which are super cute. Anyway, enough bird talk.. I loved your projects and have looked at those Dimensions pieces but I’d be terrible at trying to finish them so up u til now have avoided. Your appliqué Christmas tree is adorable ❤ Have a great month ahead and I will be looking forward to the February vlog, I’m glad February is a short month …means I’ll see your next update sooner 😀

Hi Christine! Watching your videos has made me to want to do some project with felt. But I chose a big one, a tree skirt and now I’m thinking this was a mistake. Maybe I’ll choose a small Bucilla kit to try first. Love the idea of the Sal. I’ve ordered a Mill Hill kit which is going to be my first kit on perforated paper. Many first times!😂It’s a Halloween one so it’s fine for the SAL. Me and my stitchy friend @melinda_likes_stitching were doing a SAL on instagram for the dimensions Christmas village ornaments that you’re currently stitching. We’ll be very happy if you would like to join us!☺️The sal is #dimensionschristmasvillagesal The advice you gave to do the backstitching along the cross stitching is very helpful. 😊 Happy stitching!

Love the projects you are working on. I am working on Keep Calm & Cross Stitch by Crocette a Gogo on 18-count Vintage Country Mocha. I just bought my first Stocking & it is called Gingerbread Mice Christmas Stocking by Kooler Design Studio on 18-count White aida. I should get it next week and I am sure I will be starting it. I just hope that I can figure out on how to completely finish it but I am sure it will be next year sometime when I get it all done. Happy Stitching.

I just finished the Mill Hill Santa that I was working on - The Timberline Douglas Fir. Then I immediately started the last one - the Norway Spruce (I did the Scotch Pine a while back.) I love the Santas, I have a half dozen more in the stash. This month, I'm focusing on my Full Coverage piece. Hopefully you'll feel better with the days getting longer now.

Hi Christine :-)) so glad you posted today always enjoyable !! I really like the Christmas village ornaments that you are working on….really cute:-)) I believe I have the pattern need to find it so I can work on it.. too many patterns not enough time right?! I’m currently working on mill hill ornaments for my 4 grand kiddos I’m very close to finishing them just have a few more beads to add…one of the ornaments is the gingerbread house which is mostly beads!!! It is really cute!! Until next time take care and can’t wait to find out what you decide to do for February!!❤
