Christmas Delights

I did this little stitchery today while I spent a couple of hours visiting my Dad, who is in respite care.



I know I said I was sticking with DMC thread, but I just couldn't resist this Cottage Garden thread called Running Postman. It is a Gail Pan pattern and it's the thread she used.
It will become a little pillow........a little Christmas gift.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.

    Very cute Susan...and I like those colours too! I'm like you and stick with mainly DMC too but I am experimenting with some others in a cross stitch.

    The show premiered this afternoon and all went very very well...we played to a full house!

    Very cute. How clever to have a Christmas holy leaf for the bird's wing.
    Cheers, Carole
