The month of December was CRAZY for me. I had many, many projects to complete for gifts and orders for others. I made and sold six of my popular handbags and they were well received by the purchasers and the recipients.
I also made quite a few of my armchair stitching caddy's. My stitching group friends have been big supporters and I thank everyone one of them for purchasing one.
My stitched gifts were for my children and my nieces. I stitched their last names using Redwood Manor's Red Squares chart.

And this one was for my DD's new kitchen and dining room.
Last but not least was this "Trot To Your Own Beat" for my niece Lauren, who just lives for horses!
On top of all this work, there was more.
I offered to alter a wedding dress for my DD's sister-in-law and I also made their wedding cake as their gift.
The dress had to be taken in and hemmed, which required the removal and replacement of many, many beads.
The cake weighed a ton and it took two men to deliver it but it did get there in one piece and still standing. (Phew!) LOL
Well, now I'm exhausted...LOL until next time, keep on stitching and have a healthy and prosperous New Year!

Your craft skills scare me! :) Beautiful!
I am new to the world of stitching and have been browsing through various blogs to try and gain some knowledge and get some tips / ideas. I originally started with a stamped xstitch, then counted “kits”. I’m working on my 2nd chart and have noticed some big differences in floss types and quality.
My Cross Stitch Mentor has told me that I’m ready to graduate from Aida, but I really like Aida. Maybe it’s just beginner’s comfort???
If you could answer my question… What type of fabric or fabrics do you prefer and why? Brands and counts?
I would appreciate any advice, thanks!
