3.05 - I Guess It's My Turn

So, everyone has updated for the new year, I suppose I should as well.  I have been stitching away on my cute little owl from Paine Free Crafts for the past month and a bit and I love it! It's my first time trying tent stitching and I like the coverage. I just had to work around not going diagonal in the back... Yes, I'm weird.

This is what it will look like when it's complete... It's SOOOO CUTE! (Even Fatema thinks so).

The colours are quite nice. I haven't done one this brightly coloured yet. I decided to stitch this one because Fatema talked me into an SAL for Paine Free Crafts on an FB group. Get ready for pics galore!

My pretty clean fabric :D

We had to have our Christmas dinner early since Ian was made to work Christmas Eve and Day :< I guess our family tradition is that he makes all the holiday meals :D.

Ian's turkey.

 So, I decided to make cookies and cinnamon rolls for Ian's shift, since they had to work Christmas Eve. Booo~~~!

Cookie dough!

Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Icing <3

 Now, back to stitching :D

Thank you, friends, for coming along with me on this journey of stitching Night Owl. I haven't even gotten to the owl yet!! However, I apparently was randomly drawn to win a chart from Paine Free Crafts for participating in their SAL!!!! Fatema won one, too!! I forgot there was even a contest for it! Now, comes the problem of picking a chart...

And of course, no post by Essy would ever be complete without a picture of my adorable children aka lap warmers. Toodles~~
