First up was some free motion quilting, though that teeny weeny star in top of the tree was beyond my capabilities. Despite this, it was a fun and super quick hoop to do.
Then I tried a portrait of Rudolph. The thought that I might have drawn on the antlers first so they looked less like he had sprouted seaweed on his head has occurred to me since doing this one. The idea of pulling out those stitches is there, just the lazy part of me has been shouting louder at the moment.
I'm still working on embroidering the snow onto my tree hoop. But I am liking this one, maybe the most.
I have more ideas, and more pins to use as my inspiration. I can feel some robins in my future. And snowmen. I can certainly say that these are satisfying little projects to make.

Oooooh errrrr, you can feel me in your future.
