Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday 398

Good morning everyone , hope you are all well out there in blog land.
It's been a while since I last join in with woyww & if anyone would like to find out more have a look here http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/
I've gone back to doing a little cross stitching .
I got a pattern from Pinterest for a Christmas tree & saw that some one had used beads on their tree which gives more dimension & makes it look very pretty . 
I know a lot will think Christmas again already but I also plan to make a lot more Christmas cards this year to get through some of my stash.

    What a very pretty piece of cross stitch. I envy your talent - anything with a needle is a hopeless cause for me. I hope to make more Christmas cards for 2017 so I should get started now .... Mary-Lou #26

    Hi Jill, thanks for visiting me. I think that tree is going to be very pretty - love beadwork, I have a huge project that is half finished with beads/x stitch that I get out now and again - need to do something with it but can't think what - I don't have the eyesight anymore for stitching, used to love it, so therapeutic. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one slaving away at Christmas! I have done a lot of cards already, and will have another bash next week and then maybe dedicate a week's crafting to Christmas in the Summer. I find I have lots of ideas in January, and it is so much less stressful in December if you only have a few special things to do! Happy WOYWW, Cindy x

    Happy WOYWW. It seems ages since I did any cross stitching, even though I have so many kits, thread, patterns and Aidi sitting in my craft room. These days I tend to stick to paper crafting. Love the beading on the tree.

    Hi Jill, lovely cross stitching. The addition of the beads makes the tree look all the more festive. You're not the only one planning to make more Christmas cards throughout the year, it's may aim too. Otherwise it would be a last minute panic and I'm not pretty when I panic :) Thanks for dropping in earlier and leaving a comment. Have a great week. Elizabeth x #21

    I love that cross stitched tree...I saw that and mother got a card very similar. I too hope to do cards for a while, so much stash and never enough time in Nov/Dec. Thanks for visiting and enjoy a great week.

    Hi Jill, I've made the decision to use charity cards for Christmas and used up all my Christmas stash for this last one.

    The beads will make your cross stitch stand out.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Happy WOYWW

    I used to do loads of cross stitch and still have a soft spot for it! The tree looks great and I think beads will look very pretty on it 😊

    Wonderful cross stitch. I've got a project ready to start. I've been sorting and found SO many kitted up and some half finished. I have a lot to keep me busy. I'm trying not to buy any more - got to do some serious saving lol.

    I think, now is a good time to make Christmas cards while you are still in the mood. I have a habit of planning to and then getting distracted. Have a great woyww and thanks for the visit to mine, Angela x 9
