Merry Christmas!
Hi, I wish you a very merry Christmas!
Today I'm feeling so sleepy from lack of sleep as Sweetie was so excited to receive Toy (LEGO Creator series) from Santa, and he couldn't sleep well and kept talking to me from a day before yesterday, lol
Here is an ornament that I've stitched a couple of years ago for the class (of course it was free) for beginners.
So I stitched on a fabric like Aida and had been leaving this for a long time in the drawer, but Tass's kindergarten asked some ornies to make if we can, so I finished this for the tree of them.
I shouldn't have done that, but I baked this finished piece with coffee, and it was a bit burned, lol
As every year, I prepared cookies and milk for Santa, and carrots for Reindeer before I go to bed.
This year, we were very busy on Christmas eve, and were forgetting to prepare, but Tass realized and told me to prepare for them.
This year, I left a message card for Santa.
I downloaded this lovely Thank you card from this wonderful blog.
This morning, when Sweetie went to the entrance, cookies, milk and carrots were gone!
But this year he was too excited to make LEGO that he has received, so he just said "Oh, they are gone!" ...
Santa left short message for him, though... he wasn't touched by it much this year, lol...
As every year, we ate chicken, and here is a snap of him eating it!
Thanks for your visit, and I appreciate for you taking time to leave comments!
Merry Christmas to all!

WIP - "Christmas Sampler II" 1222
Hi friends, thanks for your visit and your comments!
It's a very cold day today, and will be more colder from tomorrow... sigh
Here is my WIP "Christmas Sampler II" © Prairie Schooler.
It's nearly done, brown dots, back stitch, and leaves are left.
I hope I can be in time for this Christmas!!
I don't know why, but I am thinking to stitch more Christmas designs after this, although it will be over soon!
Or something about winter...
Here is a photo of whole design.
Please look forward to see the finished piece soon!!
Take care and have a lovely day!Labels: Christmas, Prairie Schooler

Finished Piece - "The Old West"
Hi, thanks for your visit!
The Christmas concert of Tass's kindergarten was held on Friday, and it was so fantastic, he was so good and also we mums performed on the stage, too!
By the way, this "The Old West" © Little House Needleworks was finished before I've had terrible headache, but was forgetting to update...
I took these photos in a dark room, so they don't show colour justice at all, it's more rich and more darker colour and really wonderful design!
I started to stitch this design for Sweetie, I thought he must like this kind of design, and yes he likes this! :D
I highly reccommend to stitch this design for little boy!
It's quite big project, but it was so fun to stitch along so I could finish this quite faster than usual.
And I loved this linen so much!
I've already bought a frame and mat for this design, so want to finish finishing, but it's quite difficult to frame these kind of design which have borders around, I will try to finish this in this year!
By the way, some friends sent me Christmas cards, and Carol R. sent toy cars for Sweetie and watercolours thread for me with a Christmas card.
Thank you so much friends for your kindness as always!
I so appreciate for your warm hearts.
Take great care and have a lovely weekend!!
((hugs))

His First Work + My WIP
Hi, thank you for your visit and comments!
Sweetie has finished his first cross stitch project a few days ago, and so I share some photos of his work and my WIP today.
His first project was Sea-Otter kit on blue 10ct fabric (6 strands).
Except the back stitch and start and the last of stitching, he did everything by himself.
Of course he made mistakes some times, but he did a quite good job!
So I can stitch mine beside him stitching.
He loved stitching, so he is exciting to start next project, I am thinking and choosing easy but lovely chart for his second project.
Now he is displaying this on his room's wall. :D
He is quite satisfied about his first work!
By the way, here are some photos of my WIPs.
One is "Zippity Do Da" © La-D-Da, I was thinking about the right fabric for this sampler,
and choose 32ct cream linen.
The letters I'm stitching now is recommended thread (DMC), but I'm thinking to change some colours for the other parts as the recommended threads are quite different from the photo of this chart.
Well I'll think about it later deeply.
And here is one of "Christmas Sampler II" © Prairie Schooler that I'm stitching now!
It's so beautiful design and am so excited to stitch this design!
I hope I can finish this before Christmas.
Thank you for your visit!
I appreciate for you to take your time to leave comments!
Take care...
Design : 海のなかまシリーズ "ラッコ" (kit)
Fabric : No. 3000 （ジャバクロス中目）ブライトブルー<36> cotton 100%

Gifts from dear friends!
Hi, friends.
I have been stitching a little by little almost every day!
Now I have been stitching "Zippity Do Da" © La-D-Da, though I also have "Christmas Sampler II" © Prairie Schooler as my WIP, and the Christmas is coming soon, I will switch to "Christmas Sampler II" from "Zippity Do Da".
By the way, here are some gorgeous presents that I have received for a while ago.
I'm sorry that I couldn't update them for a long long time.
Here is Huswife from Merumo.
I participated in her Giveaway, and I wasn't selected for a winner, but she kindly make such beautiful needlebooks as second chance of her giveaway!
And luckily I was selected for the second winner!
As you see, how beautiful this Huswife is!!
As I always tell her, I love her choice of fabrics which is so refined and her works are amazing!
I love her taste so much as well as her stitch, too!
Thank you, Merumo for your kind heart!
I love this so much!!
And here is another wonderful present from my friend.
I sent some foods to her when the big earthquake was happened as she couldn't buy and keep foods for her family.
It was just a token of our friendship, so I was thinking that I only did what I thought proper, but she gave me such so many goodies in return...
Can you see what she did for me?
She crochet a beautiful shawl for me to add lovely point for my style.
It's amazingly beautiful and I love it!
Thank you so much, and sorry for the delay to update for your gift on my blog.
I just wanted to share these gorgeous presents with you today.
Tass is having high fever again, so will nurse him all night tonight.
Take care and thanks for your visit!

He is stitching!
Hi, thanks always for your visit!
Recently Sweetie has started to cross stitch together.
Seems he loves it, and is enjoying so much!
His first project is Sea-Otter on 10ct blue fabric with 6 strands.
He is quite good at stitching, so I can stitch beside him at the same time. :D
He finish his first project soon, so I think I can share his finished piece sometime soon!
And I bought 10ct beige fabric for him to start next project.
By the way, he is an only child, so he always asks me to play with, then we drew pictures in watercolours a few weeks ago.
Here is his drawing.
It was the first time for him to painted in watercolours, and he drew some animals in the forest. :D
And I don't like to draw much, but as his request, I drew my ex pet (companion animal) ; Mickey (Shiba Inu) as seeing her picture.
(I used watercolour pencils.)
Quite poor drawing, though... lol
I'm going to stitch "Zippty Do Da" from now!
Take care and have a lovely weekend!
((hugs))

Isn't this very beautiful design?
I love this so much, and this made me want to stitch more Christmas designs, so will stitch some more Christmassy patterns!
Here are some photos of this.
Stitched leaves...
I will order a frame for this sampler and will display next Christmas!
I took these photos at the nearest shrine from our house.
