craftmas, Cross-stitch and Embroidery

On the third day of Craftmas…

…my true love gave to me: some hoops to spread a message jolly!

Because it wouldn’t be Christmas if I weren’t finishing up a project last-minute, right? (Don’t worry, it’s been nearly a week; I was stuck waiting on a sunny day to get photos.) I love Stitchrovia‘s designs, and the idea of the different fonts really grabbed me. There’s something weirdly freeing about not making everything perfectly symmetrical.

I had stitched one of her patterns for Mother’s Day and by happy chance these used a lot of the same colours so finding my shades was a snap

Close-ups:

I probably use 14-count opalescent aida cloth more than any other needlework fabric. Sparkles make everything better!

I think the green H was my favourite…

They’re a perfect fit in 4″ hoops, and have joined the collection of holiday hoops adorning the walls.

Thanks for looking – Merry Christmas! 🙂
