Noel Chez Les Gnomes (Translated as Christmas Among the Gnomes) Nicknamed Noel Gnomes. Using 32ct Lt Mocha Lugana and the suggested DMC threads. My first Jardin Prive and I really enjoy her charts. They are easy to read and easy to see what backstitching is meant where. I started in the upper left corner. Here it is now after Wednesday and Thursday 702 stitches...

Friday I spun Christmas Celebration and wondered if I could finish it too. I worked on it Friday and Sunday...

Christmas Celebration Sampler

Fabric 32ct Meadowlark Linen

Threads Suggested DMC

Started Nov 28, 2018. Took 24 Days Total.

12 Days this Year. 4,796 stitches this year.

Rest were before I counted stitches.

Saturday we had a busy day. First up was a visit to my LNS in Fort Wayne for the 2nd Saturday Stitch Group. I took Enchanted Pumpkin Mill Hill kit because it was easy to work on. I added 219 while there...

Also picked up my framed pieces...

Butch did fantastic with the Erica Michaels piece. It turned out wonderful! The Soda Stitch seasonal set can be swapped out to the one frame. The white frame looks perfect with each one.

I also found a clearance chart I loved and some fabric to add to my stash...

I just love the saying on the right one. So true! I also bought fabric for my 2025 Seasonal Set...

I bought these charts in 2020 when they were released at Market. My plans was to do them in 2021. Guess I didn't haha. So I bought 32ct Lt Taupe Lugana for them and will do them next year during the seasons like the Line Ups this year.  

After my stitching fun we headed out to start Christmas shopping. We went to Half Price books, Darlington a fun Christmas market where you never know what they will have, stopped to get hair cuts, and got Spike a bag full of treats at a pet store. It was a lovely day out together. This past week my dad made sure to take us to vote Tuesday. We went to a local fire station that I was around a lot when I was a kid so it made it so special to me. Ran into a family member from mom's family. It was a great day. Jeremiah said he was proud to be an American that's for sure. I know it's causing a lot of issues but I have a lot of hope and just wish United States could become United again. We have been divided for too long. Off my soapbox now.

Have a great week. Love yourself. Smile as often as possible. I'm off to stitch ALL the things haha.
