Only one finish this week.
Designer: Chessie & Me

Fabric: 36 ct Vintage Examplar linen
Floss: Gloriana silk
Chessie & Me included satin & Smyrna stitches in this design. I made these stitches like so ...

It looks just as pretty my way : ) The little deer is stitched over one. All in all it was a fun design to stitch.
Last night I started my next project ... LHN's Silent Night.
I stitched this ornament a couple years ago for a group exchange & have always wanted to stitch one for myself. It's coming along quite nicely : )
I hope everyone is having a nice, restful weekend!

Very cute and it looks great! Your next project looks like a lot of fun.
Congratulations on your Christmas finish, Shirlee! I would have done the xxxxx for the satin stitches (not a fan of them) and depending on my mood I might or might not have done the Smyrna stitches. I really like your next project. Looking forward to seeing progress or your finish!
Enjoy your weekend!

Both are pretty, Shirlee. 'Hope you are also having a nice weekend :)
Both very nice. You're not wasting any time in 2015.
Both great finishes, I love the little "over one" deer.
My smyrnas have looked like that too! My eye was immediately drawn to the reindeer... knew it was over one... It is such a beautiful piece! You next one will be beautiful too! Hugs!
Gorgeous finish. Can't wait to see what changes if any you do with the new design.
What a lovely finish! The colors are beautiful!
I also like the Silent Night chart and am anxious to see yours finished!
Have a relaxing weekend!
That turned out so pretty.
Silent Night is a gorgeous piece also,
