5th day of Advent - stitching

I've been trying to get all the bits of Christmas stitching I've done over this past year finished off so that come January I can start afresh.
I shared the little Blackbird stocking and Bonnie's ornament a few days ago but I still have three left waiting to be fully finished and I plan on tackling those over the weekend.

I really did fancy having a new stitching start in December though, that wasn't Christmas related.

I had bought all twelve of the Calendar Girls series by Little House Needleworks back in April when we met up at the Nimble Thimble and thought it was about time I made a start.

I sorted the threads for them last week, they use good old DMC, and amazingly I had all the threads required for the first three months, that doesn't happen very often!

I bought the fabric on Saturday, enough to stitch all twelve, and had a lovely afternoon stitching last Sunday :-)

I'm surprised with the size of these, the picture on the chart looks smaller, I like it though, and it will make the finishing easier, lol

The plan is to stitch each one a month ahead all year round so that I can get them made up ready to display them when that month starts, you can remind me of that if I start slacking, lol.

Did you have a new project to start at the beginning of the month?
