Third Day of Christmas Tree

I've finished another Christmas decoration in my #12in22ornamentstitchalong .





This is the Third Day of Christmas by Liz Mathews.  I bought my pattern from Stitch Witches in Dunedin.  You can buy PDFs from Liz Mathews Etsy shop, but I like the printed colour version, so I  bought from Stitch Witches.  

I haven't stitched the first or second days of Christmas yet, because I like the third day the most, so I just started with the third day of Christmas.  

The polystyrene base that mine is sitting on isn't the real base yet, but it's all that I've got on hand at the moment.  I will mold some polystyrene to a better shape before Christmas, and then use a piece of wooden dowel to stand it on one of my wooden cotton reels. Similar to what's shown on the cover of the patterns.




I enjoyed stitching this tree and I'm looking forward to the next one already.  They are about 10" tall, so I'm not intending to do them all, but one would be lonely, and a pair might look strange.  We're told nature always presents things in odd numbers, so I think I need 3, or maybe 5?



Now it's time for the Peacock Party.  Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

    Wendy your cross stitching is so beautiful. I don't have the patience to do cross stitch anymore, but I admire it and appreciate seeing it and I also know how much work is involved.

    Those designs are so fun! I haven't seen them before, so I'll have to check out her Etsy shop.
