Happy Dance - Blow Bubbles

 

Started: Date Unknown

Finished: 3/23/2023

Total Stitching Time: 22 hours and 19  minutes

This is Blow Bubbles, a Dimensions kit from 2004.

It's stitched mostly as charted on 14-count light blue Aida with the provided floss.  There are a couple of unintentional customizations and I left off the french knots surrounding the bubbles since I didn't think they were needed.

When I started this many years ago, it was to give it to my daughter as a birthday gift.  Now, it's going to be a birthday gift for my granddaughter's 15th birthday the 31st of this month.  It still needs to be washed, pressed and framed though.

Next up: Minnie & Mickey in the Garden

Happy Dance - Santa's Secret

This is a Gold Petite kit from Dimensions that was my Christmas present to myself in 2016.  I stitched it as part of the Dimensions Kit SAL on Facebook and finished it three days before the SAL ended.

It's stitched on 18-count white Aida with the kit floss.  I can't say it was stitched as charted because, there are a lot of unintentional customizations especially in his beard.  I also ran out of several colors and came close to abandoning it a couple of weeks ago, but because of encouragement from the group, I perservered and finished it just in time.
