Complete! I have been waiting to start this creche scene from Kelly Clark since it arrived (let's not even say what year it was!). I think it is a beautiful canvas, but more over, the stitches that Amy Bunger chose for this piece are really wonderful. I started the creche on March 2nd of this year, but it kept getting sidelined for stockings, poison bottles and the like. I took the last stitch on October 13 and it is one of the first times that I have been sad to see a project end. While I am thrilled to have finished it, I really loved working on it. There were a few parts that vexed me, but all in all, I am quite happy with the way that it turned out.
I have really loved the background on this set and so I started with that and then moved onto the scene itself.

| The grass has all grown in and these "broad leaf plants" must be addressed! |

The hay rack was very intimidating, but in the end it worked out just fine.
I am so happy with this finished product! It is, completed, one of my favorite projects ever. I loved having it for my Christmas decor for 2014!
