What I'm Doing Down On The Tree Farm

I told you I had an idea of what to add to the Christmas Tree Farm to make it more... well, just more Christmasy I guess.

Since I have been on an embroidery kick it was embroidery that came to mind. Here's what I have accomplished so far, the one on the right not being finished yet obviously. And please excuse the wrinkles. I chose not to press them out for the photo shoot as I would be putting the right back in soon after. I am not using a hoop for this project so everything gets scrunched.


Further embroideries are planned. Here's what two of them will be.


The Aneela Hoey fans out there will notice that three out of four of these embroideries are her designs. It seemed appropriate as she designed the Cherry Christmas fabric line as well. The Christmas Trees For Sale I drew on there myself, which explains the total wonkiness. But those sorts of signs are always wonky, as are the trees leaning around it. Just saying!

I've got a couple more to add on and when they are all done I will be back to show you. Meanwhile, despite all efforts to the contrary, it's December and I am woefully unprepared. Again!
