Reindeer Upate
A small amount of progress since the last update. One more reindeer done, still waiting on one pattern from the cross stitch store, and then on to the last two reindeer. There is a lot of detail work that I save until the end like backstitching and attaching the crystals to the antlers. The end is closer than it has been!

Cross Stitch Work in Progress Updates
I have made more progress on the Crystal Reindeer by Hinzeit.
I'm also trying to consistently work on Reindeer Games by Sue Hillis Designs. This one is little more fun to stitch!
Hope to have both completed by Christmas!

Once a Year, Really?
I've said it before, I'm not a very good blogger! I would never make it if I was being paid by sponsors, advertisers, etc. People who blog on a daily basis either like to write more than I do or have more time than I do. Every time I post, I say I'm going to do better. Ha! I won't say it this time and we will see what happens.
On to the subject of cross stitching. I told my husband a few days ago that I actually finished more cross stitch pieces when I only worked on one at a time. In my early years of cross stitching, I actually worked on one from start to finish before I started another. When I started stitching more than one, I finished less. Kind of frustrating.
I have a several Christmas pieces (well, really more than several) that I sometimes forget about and don't work on during the year. Fall rolls around and I remember that I should have been working on this one or that one. Such is the case with the Hinzeit Crystal Reindeer. If I only do one reindeer a year, we're looking at four years to go and then add a year for Rudolph and a year for the sleigh. Get the picture? I have made the decision to work on these little guys as much as possible and maybe get them finished by Christmas 2016. Below is a picture of my current progress. Forgive the wrinkles! No need to iron it and wrinkle it as soon as I pick it up again. I usually work in hand and keep the left end rolled while I'm working.
Wish me luck getting these little guys finished!
