Tiny Swearing

 I wanted to start on a cross stitch for my mom, just because, but I have to alter the pattern because it says "Motherfuckers" on it and I wanted it to say "Y'all".  But I really had the itch to stitch, even after I finished my "All I Want for Christmas is Your Soul" piece, so I stitched this little cutie up last night while watching the series finale of Star Trek:  The Next Generation with my cute lil husband.  We have seen it a million times but both love that series so much.  

I am not sure what count this fabric is- it's either 16 or 18 ct.  It's a lot smaller than I thought it would be and it fits in my 2" ornament hoops!  I think it's cute.  My mom disagrees... so I MUST alter the cross stitch pattern I want to make for her!

I Don't Ask for Much for Christmas.

 I have had this pattern from The Witchy Stitcher for years.  It was always really intimidating to me, because there is so much going on and with my short attention span, I never thought I'd be able to enjoy and finish it.  Boy, was I wrong.  I think it took me like a week of stitching but I did it!

In our new house, the walls aren't really meant to hang stuff on, I guess, because we have to have concrete drills to make any holes in the walls in most rooms, but I plan to frame this and I will find somewhere to display for the holiday!

It's taking me a lot of self-restraint not to decorate for Christmas right now.  I'm usually good until after Thanksgiving but I think it may be because last year, I didn't decorate since we were packing and this year, we're in a new home.  But I'm being good!  I do already have spaces cleared out for decorations, though!
