A partridge in a pear tree...and a new page

Yes! We have a tree--and a partridge! One advantage of having spent 2 nights last week listening/watching football was that I got to spend plenty of time working on The 12 Days of Christmas. I've enjoyed every stitch of this project so far, and I'm looking forward to spending the rest of January finishing this one up.

Of course, once it's finished I'll have to grapple with the big decision--how to finish it. Should it be a pillow, a wall hanging, or should I frame it? Or maybe a really big flat fold? Any ideas?

The 12 Days of Christmas
Little House Needleworks

At the top of this blog you'll notice a tab for a new page--FINISHPALOOZA--I decided that it was high time that I started actually FINISHING this needlework that's been completed over the years, instead of simply tucking it away in the 'finished' drawer. So at least one piece will be finished each month--it might be framed, or made into an ornament, or a box top, or whatever...but it will be FINISHED and DISPLAYED!***

Anyone else have a drawer of completed needlework projects that need to be finished and displayed? If so, please come and join me in the FINISHPALOOZA!

***For the purpose of the FINISHPALOOZA pieces that I send out to be finished don't count, only pieces that I finish myself.

What a lovely idea to have a Finishpalooze. I myself call it the "Box of Shame".

I may join in on your Finishpalooza. I have about 25 ornaments that I would love to enjoy next year. One or 2 per month seems reasonable but since it now 1/17 I better get my fanny in gear!
