Country Cottage Needleworks - By The Chimney

 I finished the stitching on this in 2019 did most of the FFOing earlier this year.  Today I finally stuck the bow on, well at least temporarily.  I just pinned the bow on with a straight pin to see if I liked it.  I think I do so before I put it away I will glue it on permanently.

I want to stitch this again for me.  Something I rarely do but I think this will look nice in my box for the winter.


I have decided that for the ornaments for the Greats for 2021 I am stitching the same ornament 6 times.  It is a Lizzie Kate and I think it is called Naughty and Nice.  Very simple and I hope to have all 6 stitched quickly.

I have a couple of smalls I want to stitch over the next couple of weeks.  On New Year's Day I want to start Baby It's Cold Outside by Heart String Samplery.   I've had it kitted up for months and I want to start it.  I also want to get back to the Paris project.  I also have Lizzie Kate's Winter that I want to stitch.  I need more hours in the day.  

Our house is all decorated for Christmas except for the tree.  Well the inside is decorated.  Bob hasn't done anything outside and I don't intend to say anything about that.  The candles are in the windows and that is enough for me.  I can't see the outside anyway.  Especially since we seldom go out at night and with the COVID 19 situation I never go out at night.

Off to get some lunch and hopefully to start the finishing on my last Crazy Annie's Stitchin 2019 Ornament Club ornament and fold some laundry.
