These photos were taken a few days ago, when the sun was shining and thoughts were turning to warmer days ahead, before the arctic blast sent me back indoors. Even the dog is reluctant to leave the warmth of the heating vent.
Now I can spend the weekend stitching!

I love giving and receiving Christmas decorations; they create memories for the both the maker & receiver. A dear friend hangs, stands and drapes every decoration I've made for her in the past 20 years or more. I admit to feeling a tad embarrassed when I visit at Christmas and see it all on show especially some of my earliest creations!
A Little Something was designed ten years ago and I found the Gift Pouch when I was going through my samples. It is still a gorgeous design and I was delighted to find the fabrics have not dated!
There's a pocket for a personal message or little gift.
I've released the Gift Pouch as a PDF (digital/downloadable) Pattern.
No need to wait for the postie.

I remade the sample this week.
I combined Aurifil Cotton Mako 12 wt thread and DMC stranded embroidery thread to stitch the new sample.
Why both?
The fine decorative detail on the trees and gifts is is worked with a single strand of DMC thread.
I could have just used DMC, as I did when I made the original sample, but I love stitching with the Aurifil Cotton Mako 12wt thread!
