Karen, I love the kitty on the sled. Great card - I can never find anything like that. And the tree is also very pretty.

Thanks Wandatoo--it was a free kit with WOCS magazine issue 171--wish I could find more cards like that but I know the person it's going to will really love it as she has 3 cats and doesn't stitch.

Those are all very cute!!!!

Thanks for the link, Karen!

Everything is just beautiful Karen. I really love the blackwork sleigh ,where did you get that one.
Love the little tobogan one too, brilliant stitching.

Lovely stitching everyone

The blackwork sleigh was in World of Cross Stitching issue 156--it's loaded with designs--but that definitely was one of my favorite ones.
And Mabel, you are quite welcome--I think that chart is a great one!

I knew there would be more! I stitch some of these Christmas designs during the year, then throw them in a drawer until I make them into cards or ornaments in November. Once I check my lists, I usually find a few more I should be getting ready to send. . . .

So the ornament is for me (!), the skaters are from the same set of Victorian designs that someone here sent me last year (Thanks - sorry I don't remember who), and the two carousel designs are not really Christmasy, but they were in a Christmas magazine, so what do I know!? Since they're for two teenage brothers, they'll probably appreciate them more than Santas anyway.

more very lovely cards/ornaments Wandatoo

Hi
I got the design for the toboggan from World of Cross Stitcher issue 156--it has loads of blackwork small designs in that issue--think it was from fall of 2009--hope this helps.

I have an older brother that I thought I hadn't stitched any thing for him like I've done for the rest of my family. I've been scrambling to find and work on a good gift so I can give it to him this year, but I was afraid I wasn't going to have enough time. But then I was at my sister's house for Thanksgiving when she got out her xmas decorations to put up. There was a cross stitch picture that said "JOY" that looked vaguely familiar. After I looked at it for awhile I realized I did it for her many, many years ago. I also remember that I stitched up a smiliar one that said "NOEL" at the same time and that I must have given it to him. That means everyone in my immediate family (2 parents, 4 siblings plus a niece and nephew) all have a cross stitch project from me. Which also means I don't have to kill myself trying to get this other project done for him this year. YEAH!!!!

Another little card ....

Pretty!
