Christmas
A bit late but Merry Christmas! :-) Thanks to those of you who sent cards!
I guess the surprise this year was that my brother bought me a new camera! O_o; On my old camera, the screen was turning purple and tinting photos in some cases. I’d asked him about it and he thought it wasn’t worth getting fixed and that should get a new one. I haven’t been using it for much other than progress shots and won't go going to another con until May so I told him I’d wait to get a new one. He normally doesn’t get something especially for me so I really didn’t expect him to buy me a new one. o_o
Otherwise, I got clothes and money from my family and relatives. And a cross stitch book from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ngmaster. (Thanks, Dave!)
I was kind of lazy this year so I only stitched one ornament for a gift. ^_^; (I actually finished this a couple of weeks back but couldn’t post it yet since it was for ngmaster. It’s the Mitten Men design by Just Nan. Instead of using a little ornament frame like the one pictured, I just sewed and stuffed it. And I made a 4-strand braid using embroidery floss colors from the design to use as trim. I wanted to make a second one to keep for our own tree but it was so annoying to stitch that I didn’t want to do it two times in a row (so many scattered stitches and different colors for such a small design!). Maybe, next year.
