xs xmas 2012

No finishes this past month for Xmas X-stitching, but I did get a lot of work done on Angelic Melody. Let's start with her. 

So she's well on her way to completion. It's possible even within a few weeks. The wing is all half cross-stitch and as you can see in the next picture, it's only the top banner that is practically untouched. 

I've been backstitching and cording, etc. as I go so I don't have a ton left to do at the end. I'm going to leave the strings on the mandolin until the very last since the Qsnaps might wreak havoc on the tension if I stitch them in now. Ideally if I could do them without couching they would look best, just having it so tight that it lays flat might be problematic. We'll see when we get there. 

Next here's my update on my HAED freebie SAL, QS Siberian Forest

We can play that game, "Can you see a difference?". There is some progress, but not a heck of a lot. The next page was just emailed to me, so I'm hoping that I can actually get some work done on this tomorrow. Possibly even noticeable work..  

That's all I've touched this past month. Because of the 2 holidays (St. Pats and Easter) I've been busy making small gifts for that. I'm happy to report my Grandma did receive her coaster and loved it, she says it's too nice to use! Hopefully my Easter cards arrived in time as well, or not too late. 

Hope you all have a Happy Easter!
