CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #100 - hosted by me.

 I hope this won't be too boring but I have chosen  a second of the stitched 12 Days of Christmas to show you.  But I promise not to re post the links etc that I included last time.

Here is just one more (and final) one of this set of makes:

This particular line from the song is my favourite of the twelve.  Just something about the design and colours I think.

I do have to mention that the pattern comes from PinBroidery which is part of Form-a-Lines and Stitching Cards.com. (links in side panel).

So there will be no 12 Days of Christmas again next year.  I have bought many new dies and  appropriate papers during the last few months but haven't managed to use them yet so hopefully there will be some something different for next year. 

I am taking the opportunity of this posting to show you some new Christmas patterns from Stitching Cards. They are a little whimsical and I have made them for friends and family.

I have now finished all my Christmas cards, so that just leaves me  to wish you all, a very Happy, Safe and Warm Christmas.

Hugs

CD Sunday Plus Challenge #99 - hosted by Jocelyn

 Here is my DT offering for this Challenge:

 As you can see this is the 'Three French Hens' from the Christmas song 'The Twelve days of Christmas'.

I love this song and it is, in fact, my favourite Christmas song.   I think I have stitched the complete set of 12 at least 4 times and I love doing them.  I just have to make sure that I send them to different people each time.

The pattern comes from PinBroidery which is part of Form-a-Lines and Stitching Cards.com. The link is on the right under 'Some Great Sites'.

 I have a beautiful version of the song for you to listen to.  Just highlight and 'Open link':

And here is a link to Wikipedia where you will find the fascinating history of the song:

I am looking forward to visiting you all -  and please leave a comment here as you pass by - if you so wish.

Take care of yourselves.

Stitch and Bead card - 4th Day of Christmas

I know that this posting is very late but I was away at the crucial time and I have yet to learn the intricate art of timed postings. This card was my CD Sunday DT card for the Challenge - 'Stitch It' - on the 26th December. It was one of the 12 Days of Christmas stitchcard patterns that I purchased from Pinbroidery. I have very much enjoyed the making of these cards. A lady from my class has expressed the desire to start making these as soon as possible so that she has the whole set ready for next Christmas.
I used a Cd for the BP and it was Christmas Presence by Ooh La La.

Ninth card to be finished. Love the expression on the cows face.
The pattern for this and all the others in the series can be found at Pinbroidery.
