More Stitching....

 

 I Just Can't Help Myself....

You can see from the picture, Dear Readers, that I added more reindeer to the Christmas Tree skirt. Now there are nine including Rudolph! And yes, even though I am supposed to be working tirelessly on the Christmas Card drawing... I still have the morning "commute" hours to occupy now that I am not going in to the Office every day. Embroidery is easier to "put down" mid stitch when the hour arrives that I must be at my computer. The drawing is something where I quickly lose track of time... because that is the only way to concentrate on the details. So I am still putting a few stitches in each week! 

The last couple of trees have only the "white" lights.

I completed the larger one and was starting on the smaller one

 when I realized I had made a mistake in counting threads

 when adding the dark green branches...

I had to unstitch all the dark green and begin again.

And here you can see the trees are all done!

And I had a few minutes before "arriving at work" this morning 

so I started on the snow shadows...

It's just the very beginning of the pale blue shadows...

I have a long way to go!

But I just couldn't help myself, Dear Readers,

I Love stitching!
