Happy Dance - Wise Man #3

 Started: 2/13/2023

Finished: 2/16/2023

Total Stitching Time: 8 hours 26 minutes

This is one of the wise men from Durene Jones Nativity project in Enjoy Cross Stitch - Christmas 2021.

It's stitched as charted with mostly the called for DMC on white perforated paper. The only exception is that I stitched the beard in brown and his skin in 3770 as shown on the chart cover in Durene's Etsy Shop.  The chart itself called for chocolate skin and a white beard.

This is part of a set that will be given to the Nursery Coordinator (my daughter) at our church to help tell the Christmas story.  I won't be finish finishing them until I have a chance to see how she'd like them finished.

After completing the designs for the 2021 Stitchmas Advent SAL, Creatively Crafting republished the daily designs without the numbers.  This was Day 23.  

He's stitched mostly as charted with the called for DMC on 14-count white Aida.  I did modify some of the backstitch, because I don't like starting/ending a backstitch in the center of a cross stitch.

He's been added to the box of ornaments going to the Ronald McDonald House later this year.

This is one of the shepherds from Durene Jones Nativity project in Enjoy Cross Stitch - Christmas 2021.

It's stitched as charted with mostly the called for DMC on white perforated paper.  When pulling the floss to finish this, I couldn't find DMC 839 and 963 so I used the Anchor equivalents.

This is part of a set that will be given to a Director of Christian Education at our church to help tell the Christmas story.  I won't be finish finishing them until I have a chance to see how she'd like them finished.
