Welcome to Rachel's
This is a great way to make sure I actually fully finish my stitched pieces!
Please consider joining this monthly SAL, it just might inspire you.
This little cutie is actually a January birthday present for our daughter-in-love, C. He does look like their "little" Finn. I just changed some of the colours, removed some hearts, and gave him a Christmas bow.
These Bride's Tree Ornaments were supposed to be a bridal show gift for C, but I didn't finish it in time. (Imagine that!)
So it was a Christmas pressie instead. I found all these little patterns either in one of the books I have of smalls, or free online.
I'm not quite sure why it's called a German Tradition, I never heard my German Momma ever talk about this, and my cousin there hasn't heard of it either. But, I thought of her when I was stitching them so that works for me!
This is what my mother-in-law always used to sing to all the boys when they were little, so I thought it was an appropriate gift for her. It's also a magnet if she wants to use it that way.
Not the best photo, but I finished the last month for this Hands on Design , A Year of Celebrations. I changed a few things. Some because I made a mistake and wasn't about to frog it, and some colours so you could see them better. It was hard to see white on cream, so I outlined the snowman and made some of the white a light blue.
Here it sits with all the other snowmen. I'll leave this display up longer than the Christmas decorations because... snow!
Wow, that makes 16 Fully Finishes!
Be sure to check out what others have done, I need to do some catching up on blog reading so I'll be looking at them soon.
Thanks for hosting another year, Rachel!
