A quick update before Christmas

Beading
I made the wreath last year with the beaded ornaments, but this year I added the stars.
All the patterns and some are kits at Etsy and The Bead Coop.

Stitching
I stitched these for a friend of my Mom's they are for sippy cups. I am not happy with the pig, the colors make him look like he is sun burnt, and I have no idea why the designer would put french knots on a sippy cup. Stitching on plastic! I did the french knots when I had a thread I could snag, but there were french knots out in the open on "I LOOK", I didn't do stitch them.
WOOHOO! I finally have a finish! "Witches Stitch Too" by Homespun Elegance.

So I started on my Winter/Christmas SAL "Special Delivery" by Donna Gallagher, Creative Needlearts, Inc. He is my progress picture, below is what it will look like, when finished.


It has been a busy week, Bob left Tuesday morning for VA, but is on his way home now. Should arrive home around 2-3 am Christmas Eve. I am very happy about that. He didn't think he would be back until Christmas night.
Thought I would leave you with a picture of my last dessert I made for Christmas. Eclairs, yumm!

how big is the wreath and how big are the ornaments? I have some of my grandmother's ornaments and i'd like to cover them and do something like this.
