Hi everyone!
I'm thrilled to report that, while I can't show the full result, I finished and even framed the piece so it's ready for Christmas. Here's another tease:
In my haste to finish, frame, and wrap it I didn't even take a picture with beads! But I promise to share the final-final after Christmas. :)
The next project, that I *can* share, is this little kit. My mom recently moved into a senior living facility and needed to downsize, so I inherited a bunch of craft kits. This little "Happiness" sign will go great outside her apartment door, and it's only 5x5 so should be pretty quick to stitch up:
In a perfect world, I would also finish two small needle felting kits before the holiday, but let's be honest... it's probably not going to happen.
This is our last check-in of 2025; we'll be back in six weeks. I want to wish all of my fellow stitchers --
Avis, Claire, Kathy, Margaret, Megan, Deborah, Sharon, Daisy, Cathie, Linda, Mary Margaret, Cindy, Helen -- and everyone else reading this the happiest of holidays, however and whatever you celebrate. This stitch-a-long has continued to inspire and motivate me to pick up UFOs, WIPs, and dusty kits from my stash and get them done. I've loved cheering everyone on, doing happy dances with them, and being inspired by the beautiful and amazing project they work on. I'm grateful for you all and wish you all the best in 2026!
