I hear from Faye that she received the Christmas box I sent her in the HOE exchange.
I stitched a part of the Mary Garry design "December" from her Seasonal Momento's 4 book. I used 28ct DMC linen and the DMC threads called for. I also changed the design a little by adding a few more snowflakes around him than was charted. I added a snowflake button and a few little buttons as well. I used a pre-made paper mache box which I painted red and I lined the box with some decorative paper and trim.
I am so glad Faye loved it! I really enjoyed making this box for her and adding some goodies!
The stitching continues here. I am working on a few ornaments. One for my son's teacher and a few for me. I keep getting enabled by looking at all of your blogs lol I don't know what to start first!
Thank You so very much for stopping by! I truly enjoy reading your comments!

What a beautiful box that is and I love the design.
I love it! That turned out so cute. I just stitched that exact same design for my Secret Stitcher. I'll show it to you next week when the party's done. Good job girlfriend!
Your box is beautiful and you've finished it perfectly.
I'm just deciding whether or not I have the time to stitch ornies for my daughter's nursery teachers!
