A Bit Of Stitching

It's been an age since I have done any cross stitch.  I know why it has taken so long too...  

But in any case, we got some of these new Jingle Flip-it's from Lizzie Kate in at work the other week.  I didn't expect I would actually do them yet, but well here you go.  There are 2 done in the last couple of nights.  They don't take long to stitch up.  I finished them off into ornaments as the pattern cover picture has been done.  It's a nice easy finish so if I put them in at work for people to see, they can see it's easy to finish off something without great expense.  

If you read the post on the horror child the other day, this will come as no surprise.  He is the reason I don't stitch a lot again like I used too.  I need to leave my stuff for stitching out.   Especially if I work on a large project of which I have a couple of large ones I must do.  But the other day when he came running with my empty pin cushion I had my reason for averting such things confirmed.  "Where are the needles?" I yelled.  He proudly runs to the middle of the floor & bends down & yells back "Here!!!"  Fortunately I only had 3 needles in it.  Usually my stitching involves about 30 but I kept them away - for good reason obviously, as what I expected to happen did happen!
