Answer: I am definitely a nights-and-weekend person but the light is so much better in the morning. Alas!

1. I am still working on my Christmas gift cross stitch. And I learned over the weekend how to do French knots! Not as difficult as I was expecting. [See strawberries in the top right corner]



2. I used watercolor crayons to make 10 Christmas cards for the Holiday Cheer event organized by the Multi-Fandom Postcard Exchange.

I love the ladybug!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you very much!

Cute frog and ladybug!

I wish I could draw or whatever well enough to make cards that way. I especially like the blue tree against the moon, very effective!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you, thank you!

It was a bit difficult to decide what to do that was seasonal but not Christmas per se AND something that I could pull off with my limited artistic skill. I was happy with the mug and chocolate box and tree motifs and repeated them.

I don't think my stick figures would been as effective. ;)

Idk, I think stick figure Christmas card art would be kinda awesome...

[badly_knitted]

It would be a bit sparse though...

[falkner]

That cross stitch is mighty adorable.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! I've since added a lily pad & pond and a bunch of dodgy looking raspberries. I think I'll add a butterfly and call it a gift!

[badly_knitted]

Hope you'll let us see the completed item!

Love your stitching, it's looking great!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you very much!

[froodle]

Those cards are adorable!!
