This
was one of my Christmasitis Starts in November/December, 2020. It's
from the Ultimate Cross Stitch Christmas Magazine, Winter 2016 and was
designed by Margaret Sherry.
It's
stitched as
charted on a scrap of 25-count Opalescent Sparkling Interlude with the called for DMC.
I'm planning to make it into a pillow ornament and it will be going to Ronald McDonald House.
All of my stitching this week has again been on 2020 Christmasitis starts, but it was not a good week for stitching. I didn't stitch one night at all and much less than normal on a second night, so there are a couple of projects that should have been finished but weren't.
The first is 12 Days of Christmas from
Ursula Michael. This is a rotation piece, but I held it over for a second week since I discovered a major error that required quite a bit of frogging.

All that's left of Day one is the pear and the rest of the borders.
The second project that should have been a finish is the December Owl from Leslie Teare's 2019 free Owl SAL on Facebook.

All that's left on this one is the snowball at the end of his hat, some more flowers and the border.
I did have one finish this week though.

This is the Blackwork Candle from the 2017 Ultimate Christmas Cross Stitch Magazine and was designed by Debra Page.
It's stitched on a scrap of white 14-count Aida with most of the called for colors. I did change the color of the candle holder and the flame. It's also pretty much stitched as charted except for the "solid" green leaf; it didn't turn out right so I'll be keeping this ornament for myself.
