Here's another start for Day 12. Plum Pudding by Brenda Gervais, it's got the mice again like Field Mouse Hollow. This is my first time using Classic Colorworks floss. I like it, it feels really nice and I feel like it doesn't twist as much as DMC and it's a little thicker. I'm using a combination of Classic Colorworks and DMC, because I don't have all the colors listed for Classic Colorworks. I wish we had a local needlework shop, but the nearest is a couple of hours away in traffic and it's just not that easy for me to get away. It would be nice to shop in a store and look at all the patterns, floss and fabric. Instead I have to shop online. At least if I plan ahead it doesn't take that long to get my products.
I feel like this pattern is going to go by quickly, even though I'm stitching on 28 count. I tend to stitch slower on evenweave. The colors are pretty straight forward, there's no jumping around to different colors, if that makes sense. I'm stitching on 28 count Monaco that I coffee-tea dyed. This will make a fun, whimsical Christmas decoration.
Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.
