Winter Sampler

Long cold evenings are good for staying in and crafting. You wrap yourself in a blanket, hot cup of tea nearby, some nibbles and off you go in your craft world- cross stitch, knitting, embroidering.... or anything else if you prefer so. This is exactly what I love doing when autumn and winter come. Inspired by the Facebook cross stitch groups, after hours, I keep getting back to work more on my wintery sampler. Finished the 2nd decorative band and now moved to last part - the bottom band.

Still not sure if this stitch will end up as a picture or a bell pull. I'll decide on it when I've finished. 

Hey! Look what I've bought - Wendy, you may like this - a new issue of Craft Seller with a series of long awaited Scandinavian-themed papers! :)))

 First, there is Wendy's heart garland project - lovely to see it published! I feel temped to make my own!

Then, there are the papers! Wendy, you were right - I do love them! Don't wanna cut them up! Just want to keep them!

 The patterns are really great! Reindeer and birds and hearts are my favourites.
