My most recent stitching on Noel has been what I think of as "clean up" stitching. I finished the lettering on the Joy ornament. I added the green trees and red "spots" on the white ornament. Then I frogged the pale aquay-blue shine on the dark blue ornament and replaced it with a basketweaved more blue-light blue. I'm now happy with that ornament.
I used the same color scheme on the other dark blue ornament, but ditched the original stitch since it had been a pain to see and stitch. Instead, I did my now trusty nobuko. Then a finish for the very velvet mosaic on the last of the bow in this photograph. I also stitched the white in the Noel ornament.
The following photo shows my progress, thus far. I foresee a future of while silk lame braid and shades of red very velvet. There are only 3 ornaments to be stitched (two on the right, aqua and green, and the gold one in the center). I have started the dark brown on the central gold ornament. I've saved them for last because I couldn't think of pattern stitches to do on them. I may just fall back on basketweave.
Looking terrific! If it's any consolation, you're at "V," not "X." Keep up the good work!
