Merry Stitchmas

Long time no blog.  Christmas was very hectic with snowstorms here on the east coast and while I put on the traditional Côté family a Christmas show, this year has been a rough one and as much as I love Christmas, I need 2013 to be over.  2013 was full of sickness and loss, anxiety and fight, none of which remotely are 'me, and really burnt out my resources.  So I spent the remainder of 2013 throwing myself into making as many memories as possible with my youngest. I even took the tree down on the 29th which is unheard of, in my defence it was a power outtage which at the time had an end date of NYE at 1!  We've had some major weather.  However, while taking stuff down I took some stitching pics I'd like to share, although I have no idea where the ornaments I did in 2013 are...I'm telling you, crappy year!  Without further adieu...

The Scott and Côté family stockings

Stitched back when I was in university...and you could buy cross stitch kits at Zellers!

Ornaments received from friends and exchanges

Ornaments before 2013' I need to finish ornamentifying a whole bunch more

Piece back from Elite Framing

Happy New Year,

Katie
