Second November Stitch along update

Wow, these past three weeks have flown by for me. I thought I was doing a whole lot of stitching, but it wasn't on Santa, that is for sure. I had the day before Thanksgiving off and decided to spend a little time adding some stitches to him. I also added some on Thanksgiving day as it was a fairly quiet day. 

This is how the Santa Stocking looked three weeks ago.

Here is Santa now with more of his arm completed on the left side.

A special thanks to Avis at Sewing Beside the Sea for hosting this Stitch Along every three weeks and sending us the needed posting reminders.

      I still can't believe that Christmas is so close. This year has just flown by too.

    A little progress is better than none Cathy and at this time of year with Christmas approaching and in the case of the Americans, thanksgiving too. There is so little time to find a gap for stitching. xx

      Yes, I am happy with my progress, but I was hoping to have this ready for my son-in-law this year.

    Cross-stitch designs have such great detail and shading - I love that about them. Santa grows a bit more each week. Hope you can enjoy some stitching time this afternoon!

    I spotted you also did some of the green gift wrap. I don't think I could put this one down if I started it :-)

      I would love to just stitch this and nothing else, but I have another item that is time sensitive. Thanks for visiting.
