My handmade Christmas preparations continue in my
closet sewing room...

That little bit of embroidery took me an hour! AN HOUR! I'm soooooo S...L...O...W.... Didn't help that I ripped out what I had done once on the tree and once on the mug because it didn't look right so I re-did it. And looking at it in the picture I think that mug has another chance to be ripped out again as I'm not so sure I like how the curve on the top is going. Like I said, I am a slow embroidererererer person. But it will get done, eventually!
I used one of the transfers from Aneela Hoey's "Little Stitches" embroidery book which makes it so easy to transfer onto the fabric and then start. Finishing is another story altogether! I still need to get on and finish this one too....
So many works in progress, so little time! Linking to Freshly Pieced for
WiP Wednesday!
