Show and Tell Monday ~ Victorian Christmas Eve Cross Stitch

It has been more than a year since I last posted my cross stitch project. The last time I blogged about it was on July 27, 2008.

Sadly, I don’t always have time to stitch…but whenever I pick up my stitching, I don’t want to let go. Just today, I spent quite a bit of time on it : ) I still have 1.5 pages to go…..

I just took a photo of the progress today, as I wanted to see how far I have worked on. Not very much honestly! But I am hoping…that I can complete it by end of this year to make it in time for Christmas! Actually, the next reason is that I still have A LOT of other cross stitch projects that I haven’t started, but wanted to start.

Well, I have this beautiful French desserts cross stitch kit that I want to start..The colours are dominantly pink and just so beautiful! That most probably will be my next project. :)

    Hi Pei Li,
    Love the cross stitch. I am the same as you. I have apiece I hae been working on for ages. It seems I never get time to work on it, but when I do, like you, I just want to keep going. Looking forward to seeing the finished project.

    I remember the last time you posted your stitching and it was as beautiful then as it is now. I can see where you have done a little more work. I can't wait to see it finished.

    How beautiful! It looks as though it fell out of the pages of a Charles Dickens novel. I hope you post another pic when it is finished.

    Keep up the good work! It is so pretty! I used to do cross-stitch and it can be time consuming.
