Happy Dance - Christmas Sweater #1

Started: 12/12/2018

Finished: 1/10/2018

This is from Cross Stitch Card Shop #98 and was designed by Rhona Norrie.  There are six Christmas sweater charts and I plan on doing at least three more before the end of the year. 

It's stitched as called for with DMC floss on 14-count white plastic canvas.  I plan on making it into an ornament and attaching it to a card.

Happy Dance - Fizzy Moon with Presents

Started: 11/17/2016

Finished: 11/25/2016

This was the free cover kit included with Cross Stitch Card Shop #98.  I stitched and finished it using the materials included in the kit.

When I first looked at the backstitching, I thought it would be awfully hard, but it was actually fairly easy which is a good thing because I have a couple more of these in my stash.  

This is the third cover kit that I've finished since starting my cover kit focus project earlier this month.  Hopefully, the next ones will not take as long as the first three.  This will be added to my box of completed cover kits that weren't stitched for a specific purpose.

Happy Dance - All Our Yesterdays

Started: 11/7/2016

Finished: 11/16/2016

This is the cover kit that came with Cross Stitch Card Shop #91.  It was stitched and finished using the materials provided except that I ran out of the two colors used for the sand so the basket and hat are stitched with DMC floss from my stash.

There are a number of unintentional customizations in this project which is part of the reason I ran out of floss.  It will be added to my box of completed cover kits that weren't stitched for a specific purpose.

This is the second cover kit I've finished since I started focusing on them earlier this month.
