Christmas Jumpers

Hello Beautiful stitchers

I know that holidays have just passed a few months ago, but since then I found a project that I like a lot, it's so funny, it's name: Christmas Jumpers

It is from the magazine The world of cross stitching number 248

The picture in the magazine is this:

My start:

First Jumper finished

Now I have a looot of WIP's in my stash but I just enjoy a lot the beginning of a new project, hope to finish some of them this year, but lets see what happens through the year

Meanwhile Happy stitching

My first Chatelaine!!

Hello!!

Today I share with all of you a very special step on my stitching life.

I started and finished my first Chatelaine! Of course This is a very small project but I wanted to start with something smaller before choose a big mandala.

This is a freebie design that Martina (Chatelaine's designer) gave us for christmas 2014.

I stitched on linen 28ct. 2 over 1
I used Dmc metallics and I change the color of the Delica beads because I wanted to use what I already had in my stash.

I totally in loved with this designs, I have in mind to stitch 2 more freebies, then a mini mandala and then I will start with big mandalas.

Happy stitching!!!
