Frosty Forest start

For what will probably be the only time during the release of these nine designs, I am caught up! This is the newest multi-part design from Country Cottage Needleworks, and today I finished up Raccoon Cabin:


Here's a close-up of the cute little raccoon:


I did change several of the floss colors, so mine looks a bit different than the chart picture. I hope I can keep up with this one; there are 12 parts to Santa's Village, and I've only completed the first one!

I wanted to mention a giveaway being held on Missy's blog. I have bought several pairs of hard-to-find Gingher scissors from Missy; now she's giving away a pair of Cheetahs, which I don't have yet. Fingers crossed I can win a pair!

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

  3. It's too cute.
    I'm awaiting mine too, can't wait to start it.
    What fabric are you using?
    I'm thinking of a bluish color.

    1. Marilyn, it's Silkweaver Karma on Belfast; this piece is a blend of soft gray, purple and green.

  4. Looks great! I am waiting for the first pattern to come to me. I want to stitch this whole series. I have a piece of gray opalescent linen that I want to do the whole series on. I also wanted to do Santa's Village, but that never happened. I vow to do this one!

  5. Looks beautiful! I just started mine Friday and haven't had much time to work on it. I'm hoping for some quiet time tonight!
