Cardinal Points progress as of 10/25

 I'm getting so close.  I just need to stop making the same mistake over and over.  I counted wrong on Sunday night and didn't notice it until Monday night when things didn't line up correctly.  Looked back and noticed I had made the same miscount in this set of leaf and flower that I had made on another set earlier in my stitching.  You'd think I would learn.

I love this.  However, I don't like the saying that is charted for the top blank box.  I have been toying with the idea of just putting "Cardinal Point" there or finding a quote about cardinals that would fit there.  I'm still thinking about it but I need to finish thinking soon.  It looks much more vibrant in person then it does in this picture.  It is getting really hard to take a picture of.  

I am also stitching as my 25/7-piece Brittercup designs Autumn is in the Air.

FFO - Christmas Present finished

 

I Believe in Christmas from
the 2015 Christmas Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher
Christmas present for CJ

I had a stitching finish this afternoon

 This is the 2nd time I have stitched this project.  I posted a picture of the first one on Instagram and CJ responded "Me, me".  So I decided to stitch it again and give it to her for Christmas this year.  I just have to fully finish it.  I have an idea.

Weekly progress on Cardinal Points

 I'm still plugging along on page 5.  Every time I look at the whole thing I say to Bob "isn't it beautiful".  The colors are amazing.  

On October 1st I picked up one of the Christmas ornaments I started in July and made it my October ornament stitch and it is also my 25/7 stitch until I get it finished.  It is a Lizzie Kate Tiny Tidings XXII Mr. & Mrs. Elf.  I have both of the elves stitched and a little bit of the boarder.  I have an idea of how I am going to finish this year's ornaments.  I just hope it turns out like I picture it in my head.  I am also almost finished the stitching on I Believe in Christmas which I got from a Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher magazine.  I can't remember the designer off hand so I will post all of that once I finish the stitching on it.  Should only take an hour or so as I only have the reindeer to stitch.
