I stitched "Joyful Santa" last year and just finished it into an ornament. It really is square-for some reason after sending pic to blogger, it looks more like a rectangle.

First Step is Finished

I worked very hard last week in order to get this one completed. This was really fun to work! This week I'm back to linen with Live Each Season.

First Finish of 2009

Caron Watercolors, DMC Pearl Cotton & Floss, Kreinik Braid & Ribbon, Mill Hill Magnifica Beads

This is a freebie from Laura Perin's website. I painted the canvas a light teal. It's really too bad that the photo doesn't pick up the sparkle from the beads and the metallic threads. The colors are even prettier IRL.

For my rotation starting today, I get to choose any canvas WIP, so I will be stitching First Step by Genny Morrow.

Our forecast calls for rain, freezing rain, and sleet for late tomorrow into Wednesday. That, I'm not looking forward to. But, it makes for good stitching!
