Just Nan and Soda Pop Santa.

I managed to finish the sewing on Just Nan but had to wait until the 2nd January for my bellpull to be delivered. Anyway it is finished now and I really enjoyed doing it.




The Soda Pop Santa is nearly finished but there was a mini disaster with the border. I was working round to the last corner when I realised that I was going to be one thread out. After some frogging and working from the opposite corner I found where I had made the mistake. It was caused by a slub in the linen. I am now backstitching the border which is going to take ages. The photograph shows the sewing before disaster struck. The face is now completely backstitched and I think it makes quite a difference.
When this is finished I am going to start "Frosty Nights" by Lavender Wings. I couldn't resist sorting out the threads and hope to make a start soon. I have also to keep up with Yoyo's SAL and my Peacock Tapestry which has been a UFO for far too long. Chatelaine's "Alpine Mandala" is waiting in the wings too.
Father Christmas was really kind. Apart from "Christmas Eve" and "Frosty Nights" I also receive Lavender Wings "Santa's Magical Coat of Colours" and Victoria Sampler's "Gingerbread Garden Sampler". I have plenty to keep me busy. All this as well as the two costumes which have to be made. Happy stitching year to everyone.
