New Finish and Christmas Stash

Guess what I finished just a little bit ago today...

(Finish #33) December 27th, 2018

Please Santa from Rovaris

Stitched on Zweigart 18ct Polished Brass Gold Aida

Threads are Suggested DMC

Started Dec 19th. Took 6 Days.

I love how it turned out. I can't wait to finish it off into a pillow like the leaflet photo shows. This will more than likely be my last finish of 2018. I'm really happy with 33 finishes for the year. I will be back sometime before the new year for an official wrap up post hopefully.

I did figure I would go ahead and share my Christmas stash happiness that I received...

I got a new sewing machine!! It says easy threading system and has an instructional DVD even. One review said a lady got it for her grand daughter and she could operate it without adult supervision so that's hopeful that I just might be able to figure it out haha. In this photo is some fabrics I also got, new scissors, new fabric cutter and a replacement blade for it, some ribbons, some thread, and a pile of DMC that was in my Advent Countdown boxes.

New Stash from Mom. Let's see from the upper left is Primitive Hare Black Pearl Mermaid, Nebby Needle My Country Tis of Three, Lizzie Kate's A Little Beach, 2 New Q-Snap huggies. Back to the left Rovaris Sea, Hands on Design Oh Say Can you Sea, 2 of the Little Bits Seasons by Erica Michael's the other two seasons still haven't arrived from my order I placed in September! A new set of QSnaps so I can leave one at the cabin, last row shows a cute kit from Romy's Creations that I can't find a link to. It's a little hedgehog that you stitch on a wood design, a sticker that says I love Cross Stitch, and a neat bag with a see through part so you can see what's inside the pouch.

Fred got me 3 adorable new dragon charts from Etsy...Top 2 are from LoLaLottaShop Lighthouse Dragon and Pirate Dragon. Let's Drink Beer from Imaginating came with a hint that it would look really nice in our cabin. Last one is Dragon Eye from EvasDesignsBg.

I'm one happy girl! I've decided I'm going to start Dragon Eye on New Year's Day if I can wait that long....or it could be New Year's Eve haha.

Better not leave out Jeremiah. His most exciting things are a new gaming chair and a pile of new games to play...

He didn't know how much he wanted the new gaming chair. I sat in his old one and noticed the padding was gone. He is in love with this new better padded chair plus it's green (kind of lime green) and that's his favorite color. Fred got several new HAM radios that do things I don't understand but he's happy and that's all that matters to me. Mom got some new games that we've enjoyed playing. We all got some movies and some other goodies that I can't remember right now of course. It was a perfect year. We were together and healthy so that's what really matters. We definitely had a very Merry Christmas!! I hope you did too.
