<\/figure>\n\n\n\nI would have to look up and see when I started this. I can<\/em> tell you why was is set aside and that is because the satin stitch flowers on the sides of the deer are difficult to read in the chart for me. I decided to just cut out what I had done and start over again, after revising the chart by hand so I can read it a bit better. I also spent a night finishing up the right hand side deer and that felt like really good progress because back stitching is not my favorite! However, I do love stitching with the Gumnut silk, and that sweetened the deal a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next up in my \u201cmust stitch in January pile\u201d is a tooth fairy pillow for my youngest. She has already lost four teeth and has informed me that she has many many more wiggly teeth! And I had better make her a tooth fairy pillow STAT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here it is so far\u2026 I will finish the stitching this weekend. I\u2019ve ordered the star for the wand. She picked out all the threads. She wanted the whole thing to be purple. This is quite fun to do with her! She picked out a lot of really fun flosses. She\u2019s very encouraging to me and keeps saying, \u201cOh I love it! It\u2019s so cute Mommy! You\u2019re doing a great job!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n My last WIP assignment for January is to finish the eyelet verse band on Dorcas. Once I have the tooth fairy pillow finished, I will switch between Dorcas and the stags every other night. Satin stitched flowers and over two eyelets will be my month! I maybe better pick another cross stitch small to have some relief!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, I\u2019m giving myself a personal challenge with FFO\u2018s this year. I have a small pile that technically shouldn\u2019t be too hard to finish. When I get out my sewing machine to make the tooth fairy pillow, I\u2019ll be making more pillows too! Can\u2019t wait to share those with you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This first week of the new year has seen some good stitching!
