Happiness Is Cross Stitching

Santa's Village update

Hi everyone, here is my update on Santa's Village, I think it is coming along nicely bit still need to speed up a bit as I would like to ensure I can do one each month, I just need to do the 6th cottage for June.

I am loving the colours on this, I think it will look fabulous when all the cottages are stitched and it is finally framed.

Until next time - Happy Stitching!
