What I Want for Christmas

Santa, I want a needlepoint pixie to stitch and rip while I sleep. Isn't she cute? The finishing is superb, by the way.  The canvas is from Ruth Schmuff while the stitch guide is by Vicky DeAngelis.  Ruth's shop arranged for the finishing, I believe.

Shop Windows at Christmas UPDATED

Peacock Alley always has a lovely shop window each month, but I particularly love their Christmas one. It's on their Facebook page. I hope those without a FB account can see it.

Pocket Full of Stitches shows off their window on their blog.  It's just as lovely!  Many thanks to all the shops for showing off their windows for us to enjoy.
