I simply can not motivate myself to work on the stocking. I have many cheerleaders, Mary, Pam, Laurie, and Jill! Instead, I started the first of my first 12 Days Of Christmas by Shelly. It is easy to take on the go, or at least that is how I rationalized it to myself! Finished the sky and half of the grass on the Partridge in a Pear Tree....and still the stocking sits. Seriously, this is a TIRED post! I need to get motivated and just blast through the task at hand! I am hoping that putting it into words (again) will serve as motivation for me!
For the time being, here is the sky on the 12 Days of Christmas!
P.S. I am excited to try to use my stash threads on this project. I used a size 16 Krienik for this background and the string that you see is all the is left ~ mission accomplished ~ stash reduced!
Love the sky. What are you thinking for the tree and grass? I'll think on it too. French knots are probably an obvious choice for the tree, but I know there are better ideas. Will you bead the pears or maybe felt applique?
ReplyDeleteDid the grass last night with OD Floss in a diamond rays stitch. Thinking French knots on the tree so that the pears do not stand up too much from the leaves/tree. Definitely going to bead the pears! Bite your tongue with the appliqué suggestion!!!
