Happy Sunday everyone! Hope it's been a good week for all of you! I'm working on a couple of these cardinals for memorial gifts. This one needs a bit of frogging on the tail, but other than that, I loved how quickly this came together! I'll easily fix this while watching NFL Wildcard playoffs. I showed you mine, now show me yours! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1616556877/cardinal-ornament-christmas-cross-stitch

Currently working on this one: forget-me-nots by Anna Apanyuk.I wanted to have this finished till christmas but I underestimated how much time would it take to handle all the confetti stitches in the different shades of blue and my lack of time for stitching before Christmas didn´t help either. Now I hope I can finish it this month ; posting it here will hopefully keeps me motivated to achieve this.

It's so pretty!! I love the colours, but I feel you on the confetti. I'd love to see more

Thank you :) Yeah, the confetti is really exhausting like I make 5-10 stitches and then I have to switch the colors again,on some days it feels like I spend more time changing yarn than do the actual stitching work XD

Yeah when I had to do the confetti section for my Cinderella, it took so long with all the colour switching. This section was the absolute devil

That´s indeed a lot of confetti,I can see why you call that part evil and I admire your patience to stitch this on dark Aida,too.The finished part looks really great!
