Snow Globe Santa is Stitched!

I really enjoyed this fellow, even the Memory wire whiskers.  It is a pain to put in, but it adds a lot to the piece.  I will take this to my finisher as I do not want to mess him up. 
I did work on Spring Splendor but not enough to share.  It requires full concentration on my part.  Hopefully I will get some work done and share it soon..

A Little Memory Wire

Snow Globe Santa is almost done.  I am adding the memory wire to his beard.  Janet  suggests sititching it through tracing paper, but I did not like that. 
I have to put Softly Feathered aside so I can work on Spring Splendor.  I love both pieces, but Spring Splendor has me nervous.  Must be all those silks....Maybe I will have a photo of it tomorrow.

Softly Feathered-Carol Algie Higginbotham

I do have a method behind my madness.  I try to work on a small project that I carry around-generally a Mill Hill Bead Kit, a medium project for "mindless" stitching and then a larger project that requires thought and time and good light. 
I did not work on Solar Flare-my banner piece-at all this month.  It is on the back burner until I get Softly Feathered done or off to be critiqued.  Softly Feathered is taking more time than I thought it would.  Being sick did not help any.  But I will keep plugging away and hopefully it will get done soon.

Addicting

I keep working on this guy as counting is so difficult with this cold.  I will have to figure out what I am going to do about the hat brim.  The line was drawn a little off and I am afraid it will look funny with the hat behind the beard.  The left side of the beard may need to be removed and restitched.  Maybe after a nap.

After brushing

I was able to add eyebrows to my Santa.  After they were done, I carefully brushed them and the mustache trying not to disturb my other stitching.  Now on to the hat!

I am trying to finish my Cityscape Hearts into ornaments.  Right now I am working on my white one.  Will try to post a picture when it is done.



Snow Globe Santa needs a Mustache

While I was so sick, I did not feel like counting.  Snow Globe Santa needed his face put in which was in basketweave so I worked on him.  Now I need to finish his mustache.  I think he is so cute!

I really want to work on this Santa today.  We are getting snow and he would be so much fun to stitch.  Downstairs he goes....
