A Finish & Gifts

For many years i had a cross stitch Christmas card & every year i never seemed to get around to stitching it. This year is the year i decided & i'm pleased to say it's done. :)

a table runner,

This is the outside of the block roll. Thanks Jan(no blog) for my lovely gifts. Thankyou Cheryll for running the Santa Sack again this year.

1 Xmas Item

The last 2 things made for this years 1 Xmas item hosted by Narelle. Thankyou Narelle for hosting again again this year.

Didn't realise until i'd seen this photo that the camera was acting up again & i'd ended up with a blurry photo. I've given these away so i can't get a better photo now. :(

I'd stitched the little stitchery for another project which i decided not to make but it found a home on this bon bon.

The other day i decided to work on the little babushka cross stitch i was given for my birthday. I couldn't decide at first which pattern to use then went with the heart.

Thanks Shez for my lovely gift & beautiful card.
