My Thirteenth Frolic for 2017...

This week I picked up a very old UFO, which I had found abandoned in a large wicker storage basket crammed under the stairs!

It is Windswept Santa from The Gold Collection by Dimensions.  It is a kit and it is being stitched on Aida, which I have not stitched on for many years.  

This is where I was up to, when it was abandoned.

I managed to fill in a bit of the red on his cloak.  It is rather fiddly, as there are a lot of blended threads and half stitches, which I am not sure that I like that much.  So, it may be a while before this one is picked up again. We'll see!

hugs, Kaye

Mini's Friday Frolic Post #1 for 2017

Hello Friends,

Hope you have not forgotten me, sorry for only posting once last year. I will try to post my regularly this year.

This Friday (and Saturday) I worked on my New year New Start.Here are progress pics:

My humble start on 1st Jan 2017

Progress on Day 4

Here is how the finished piece will look like

Dimension kit-Indian Peacock

I started the kit while I was on vacation in Dubai and forgot to pack the instruction sheet in the luggage. Yesterday I read the instructions and I think I will have some some troubles with half cross stitches. We will see when I come to that part, right now I'm enjoying stitching the peach stitches.
