Every year I start to cross stitch a christmas present very last minute in the middle of december and end up not finishing it. I still have the project from last year in my WIP box...
But this year I started super early! I decided to do some christmas cards this year and will see how many I can finish. ^^
I picked the "Furry Tales" set of 6 cards from the World of Cross Stitch magazine issue 169 (I think it was last year's september issue). There are lots of other cute card motives aswell, designed by Joan Elliot in that issue, so if I need more than 6 cards I have more than enough other charts.
Those little guys are really cute, aren't they? I started with the bottom left mouse "Giving Gifts".
That's how it looked on monday. I finished her head now and started stitching the background aswell. It stitches really fast, only the background takes a while. In the magazine it was stitched in full crosses, but I hate background stitching so I'm doing that in half stitches to speed this up (and use less thread).
Have you started your christmas stitching yet? When do you normally start?

Aw! they are super cute. Great start :)
I don't usually stitch christmas designs but this year I think I might have a go. I'll probably leave it until last minute! lol
