I did it!

I finally finished my Santa's 12 Days of Christmas!

Now, the earliest post I can find on my blog, Kitten Stitching, which features Santa's 12 Days of Christmas is on May 21, 2012 but I suspect that I started the SAL a few months before that - so this project has taken me over three and a half years to complete.  I must admit there were (quite) a few times where I lost interest, lost faith in my ability to finish but I overcame those times and here we are:

 I just need to decide now how to Finish each one - any suggestions?

Now, as I am pretty certain that I won't be tackling this project again in a hurry, I want to gift my lightly-used design booklets (three of them, with all twelve designs) to one of you lovely stitchers.

But, I am going to make you work for it!  Ha! Ha!

You have to decide which of the 12 days is my favourite - which may be hard as I do love them all but there is one which I particularly love!

So, please leave a comment with your guess either on this post or on the corresponding post on my blog, Kitten Stitching and on Monday, 9th November, I will draw a winner from the correct guesses.

Have a great day, everyone, 

hugs, Kaye

P.S. Love to Linda who started me on this journey.

And onto Day 12

... well, for IHSW, I thought that I should continue on with my PS 12 Days of Santa as I am finally getting so near to finishing the series.  Yay!

So, here is Day 12 so far....

... and while these are nothing to do with Prairie Schooler,  here are some of the lovely roses from my garden (I had a play around with the special effects on the Aviary app on my iphone to get the photo looking like this).

Some wonderful PS stitching happening all around on this blog, I am so pleased that so many of  you seem to be inspired by this SAL blog.

Have a great rest of the week - today is Hump Day, hurray!

hugs, Kaye

Day 11 finished... Finally!

Well, I am pleased to announce that as part of Friday Frolics  and FNSI last night, I finally managed to finish Day 11 of Santa's 12 Days of Christmas.  Woo Hoo!

I especially love Mr Fox in the bottom right hand corner.

On to Day 12 now, very excited, nearly there!

Have a great weekend,

hugs,

A Little Progress on Santas

I've been absent from blogland for awhile; our house has been the infirmary lately. All four of us have been sick at least once in the last six weeks. I managed to put a few stitches into each of my two Santas.

Where I was last month:

Where I am now:

A little bit more green on the coat

Finished the pant legs

Thanks for reading and looking.

Happy stitching :-)

I Couldn't Decide

Decisions, decisions! I couldn't decide which Prairie Schooler piece to focus on for the SAL (I have a few started), so I picked two. On the left is Santa's 12 Days of Christmas Day 2, on the right is 1984 Santa.

Happy Stitching!

Santa's 12 Days of Christmas: Day 11

Hi everyone,

I had hoped to have a finish of Day 11 by the end of this month but I think I have been distracted by a few other things going on - lol!  For some reason, I am really struggling with Day 11. This is part of the Sunday SAL which I stitch with my dear friend, Linda.  Maybe he will be finished by the end of September?

I am loving all of the wonderful Prairie Schooler Stitching which I see everyone else is doing - so beautiful!

Have a good week, 

hugs,
