The lighting is horrible because it's really late here but you can see her in her almost completed self. All I have left to stitch are the flowers in the border and then add beads to them and to the cloak and the jeweled part of the dogs leash and I will be all done!! Oh and I ran out I'd DMC #797 with only about 10 stitches left. But I am looking forward to being able to pick them up soon when we get to travel back home to Michigan for Christmas this year! Here is an image of Santa wearing Michigan mittens that is my theme for us this year.
After a bit of googling I found out that they sell these mittens in lots of colors at www.michiganmittens.com . For those of you who don't know, Michigan is unofficially known as the mitten state because the Lower Peninsula is shaped like a mitten. We Michiganders even have an odd habit of explaining to someone who is unfamiliar with where a city is located by showing them and pointing to the equivalent location on the "map" on our hand.
I am really hoping that Santa brings me a pair of these cute mittens ;). I also hope that I can find the time to finish Medieval Lady before the end of the year to make her my 13th finish of the year and get her framed while I'm home. How are your Holiday plans coming along? I hope that you find a little time to stitch during this busy time of year and happy stitching!
