Monday, Monday

 
The bad thing about the weekend is that it is followed by Monday.  Always.
 
Saturday was cold and snowy and rainy, the perfect day for wrapping Christmas gifts, so I did.  I also got the Christmas cards fixed up and ready to pop in the mail, so that's done as well!  After I got those little tasks taken care of, I sat down and finished Tree Reindeer.  It's the yearly ornament from Sharon, a.k.a. Daffycat, and you can find it here on her blog.  I stitched mine on a piece of 40-count from the stash, using DMC flosses and beads for the star.  I love these little ornaments and look forward to them each year.

Sunday was Isabella Johnstone day.  I worked on the cow and still didn't get it finished, so no pictures.  I'll wait until I have something worth showing :-)

I have a question for you guys.  Does anyone know of a source for Eva Rosenstand floss?  I have an old, old issue of Just Cross Stitch that has a design in it that calls for ER floss.  I'm sure I can convert it to DMC, but I'd kind of like to use ER if I can find it.  Thanks!

Have a great week and happy stitching!

Love the ornie finish -- it's so cute! Sorry, don't know where you can get that floss. Good luck! Hope you can find what you need.

Lovely ornament finish!
I have no idea on the floss :(

That's a lovely little finish. Sandra has designed some pretty reindeer over the years.
I can't help you with the threads, have never heard about them.

... not Sandra, Sharon is Duffycat's name. Sorry.

Sweet finish! Sorry, can't help with the floss.
