'Joy to the World' is finished

Last night I finished the Mill Hill 'Joy to the World' and I'm really pleased with how it' turned out.

Mill Hill Button and Bead Christmas pictures

The finished product looks better than the picture on the packet - mainly due to the way that the beads bring it to life - especially the gold ones on the lettering.

There's always quite a few beads and threads left over from these kits, so I store them away in these little containers. That way I have spare beads on hand when I'm working on other projects.
