Finished: 12/18/2020
Total Stitching Time: 6 hours 29 minutes
This is the Away in a Manger stocking from an older issue of Cross Stitch Crazy. It was designed by Diane Machin and was my 16th start for the Christmasitis SAL. It's stitched on 14-count silver flecked Aida as charted with the called for DMC.
Up Next: Snowman Snowglobe
The Fully Finished Gallery SAL was created by Rachel at Ten Hour Stitcher to encourage us to fully finish our projects instead of just storing them in a drawer or box rarely to be seen again. Click on the link to see more details and what other stitchers have posted.
I only managed to finish one project this month and that was a "must finish" for an exchange. It was the Holly Jolly Peppermint Wreath that I stitched a couple of months ago. It's finished simply by trimming and fringing the project and gluing it to a card.
Festive Woody was my eighth start for the 2020 Christmasitis SAL on Facebook. It can be found in Cross Stitch Crazy #261 and was designed by Cheryl McKinnon (Tiny Modernist).
It's stitched as charted on white 14-count Aida with the called for DMC.
Next Up: Christmas_Ornament_3

Well, Naughty November is no more, but I still have 32 starts left til the end of the year. I'm choosing them as I go so I'm always looking forward to see what I choose next.
It's the last Friday of the month so it's time to post the small projects we've stitched during the month. This SAL is hosted by Mary at Mary's Thread. Thank you Mary for continuing to host this SAL. You can click the link for more information and/or to see what small projects others have stitched.
I haven't posted for this SAL since August, so I decided to post all four months together.
