A long weekend means plenty of guilt free stitching time, and then tonight, having family and friends over for an evening of beer and pizza (yeah, we're a classy lot!)
So there will be no stitching for me tonight....pizza and stitching probably isn't the best combination, but luckily I managed to get quite a bit of stitching done earlier this holiday weekend. I was able to finish off the free kit form the World of Cross Stitching magazine....
..the back stitching was a bit fiddly but well worth the effort! The printed card that came with the free kit is just super-cute...
...so now Christmas card number 1 is finished! Just another one or two or three to make! It's a good job it's still only September.
I've also been working on Beacon at Daybreak, which is coming on a treat. This is where I was the last time I showed a picture of it...
...and this is how it looks now...
...all those wonderful colours in the sky have been a delight to stitch...
At the risk of sounding like a McDonald's commercial ...I'm lovin' it! Heehee! (sorry, I absolutely hate McDonalds, but their slogan is just so appropriate!)
Until next time...happy stitching!
