Finish - Shepherd's Bush Christmas Sheep

As promised I'm back to do a proper post about my Christmas gift finish!  You'll remember I was gifted with the Shepherd's Bush Christmas Sheep necklace kit from my Secret Stitcher.  I was so excited to receive it that I went home and stitched it up the night of the Christmas party.

Design:  Christmas Sheep necklace kit
Designer:  Shepherd's Bush
Fabric:  30ct. Cranberry as kitted
Floss:  as kitted
Started: 12/8/12
Finished:  12/8/12
Completed: 12/8/12

At first, I wasn't sure about using one thread on the 30ct fabric but it turned out really nice.  It gives it a primitive feel and I think that's what the SB girls were going for with this design.  Thanks again, Evie!  I love it.

I'm thinking I may have to wear this when the fam comes down on Sunday.  Yep, I'm hostessing the holiday this year.  I've got the menu all figured out and need to do some house cleaning yet.  I'm working up to wrapping the presents.  It shouldn't take too long.  There aren't that many of us anymore.

I've got the stitching and beading done on the Just Nan Gingerbread Mouse kit too.  I need to do the finishing and then I'll show it to you all complete.  Hopefully I'll get to it before the weekend.  We'll see!

If I don't post again before then, I hope everyone who celebrates has a wonderful holiday!  Thanks for your visit with me today.


Until next time,

The Inspired Stitcher

Looks great Lisa. LOVE, LOVE the sheep. Can't wait to see the gingerbread mouse finished. Mine probably won't get stitched this year so it will be nice to see one done. Hugs!!

That's so pretty, and perfectly made. I love those pendants, and how they make stitching wearable.
