Finally I can join the fun!

Hello:)

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and finally I had the money to order some Prarie Schooler charts online last month! I was thrilled to bits when I received them, I tell you! I know that you all can understand my pure joy, lol!

So, the important question: what did I get??
Well, after very careful consideration I picked these two books...

...as well as these two:

It was a bit difficult to decide which one I should start stitching first, but since I've fancied Christmas Tree Farm for ages, it just had to be that one:) Who can resist all those Christmas trees???
So, I have made a start on all those trees, and also a cute reindeer:

 

However, I also got a PS Santa, and of course it had to be a crafting Santa...

 

...which meant that together with the two PS Santas that were gifted to me by the lovely Brigitte , I have three Santas:

I'm stitching my PS Santas alongside Gominam at Stitch Niche, and after yesterday's Frolics I have come this far:

I'm one Santa short as you can see - empty top left corner lol - but I hope to order some more soon.

I already have my eye on the knitting Santa, which would look fab in the upper corner!

I'm also working on a PS ornament for the Christmas Ornie Sal but I'll show you that another day.
Now I'm itching to get back to my PS stitching, and hopefully I'll be back here soon with some finishes!

Thank you Kaye, for setting up this fab SAL where I can share my PS crush with fellow addicts, LOL!

A finished Christmas ornament:)

Hello PS fans!

I have now finished my first Prairie Schooler design! I am very happy with the finished stitching:)

The design is from The night before Christmas. I made some changes to the original chart. I decided to stitch the Swedish equivalent phrase of 'Merry Christmas' at the top corner and I used DMC Satin threads for the snowflakes.

 

Since this was my August ornament for Christmas ornie SAL 2015 , I had to turn the stitching into an Christmas ornament.

I REALLY enjoyed stitching this PS design, and I just wish I had more of their Xmas designs in my stash!!! One of the other designs from this series is a snowman so at least I'm going to use that chart for the November ornament for the Christmas Ornie SAL:))

Enjoy your PS stitching!

Annie

So happy to be here!

Hello fellow PS fans!

Can you imagine that two months ago I did not know ANYTHING about The Prairie Schooler designs?! They are not known here in Sweden and I had not come across any of their designs in English cross stitch magazines.

It was when I joined the Christmas ornie SAL 2015 that I discovered three of their Santa designs (The Night Before Christmas). I fell in love and started to stitch one of the PS Santas, and as I stitched I fell even more in love. Then I started to check out their charts in online shops and I was thrilled with all the sweet designs that I found, especially since I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Xmas and Santas:)

Then I found out they are retiring - oh, no! - so when our lovely host announced this SAL I just had to join in and share my love of the PS designs with my fellow stitchers:)

I am close to finishing my PS Xmas ornament for August...

...not long to go now!

I also have to see about aquiring some more Xmas PS charts - at the moment I have five charts including the free chart on their website.

Although, how I am ever going to be able to decice which charts I am going to purchase, I don't know...!

Happy PS stitching!

Annie
