Our Christmas Tree and my current WIP




Our tree is very traditional.  There are lots of counted cross stitch ornaments,
other hand-made ornaments that I have made or been given
to us as gifts, and ornaments that we have collected over the
years mainly from trips we have taken together.  Yes we still use tinsel or icicles,
whichever you call it.  I put it on the tree one piece at a time.

This is Birdwatcher.  I am stitching this for Bob.  He spends many
summer afternoons out on the back porch watching the birds.  I love how
it is turning out.  I am backstitching as I go along since I really dislike
backstitching and doing it all at the end would be painstaking.




I would like to wish you all

Merry Christmas
and
A
Happy, Healthy 2017
