Hi everyone, here is my latest progress on Santa's Village, I have started stitching the next house and then I only have two houses after that to finish. I am quite pleased with it, I showed it to my sister the other day and she loved it!
I have also been stitching another mug rug, I started to stitch this on Sunday as I wanted to enter it into a Pattern Review competition for holiday stitching.
I previously made this in traditional christmas colours but also wanted one to co-ordinate with my craft room. I have taken lots of photos for this so that you can see the work in progress.
I was also in a baking mood over the last few days so I decided to make some home made bread, it was worth it and so delicious! (photo below)
Home made bread
Apparently if it cracks on the surface it is because the dough dried out when proving, I forgot to oil the bag it was placed in for proving, but it tasted delicious all the same, and I also think it gave it some character!lol
Happy New Year everyone, thanyou for all of your comments and good wishes throughout the year.
Happy Stitching!

Your village is looking great. Love your mug rug, very cute. Oh, warm bread with butter. YUM
Happy New Year!
Beautiful rug! I love the color and it is so well embroided. A good tip about the labels, thank you.
Santa's village is developing very well. Is it a work you do only in the end of the year?
Happy new year!

Hi Lynn,
Your Santa's Village is stunning and I love the mug rugs. I look forward to seeing the village completed.
Wow i love the village...can i ask how long you have been stitching it?
i like the Santa mug hug.and home made bread tastes wonderful...i have a breadmaking machine.best invention ever..happy new year...
Lynn, I'm reading this very early in the morning and your loaf of bread has awakened my tummy and it looks deliciously crunchy (your bread, not my tummy). Your Christmas Village was a lot of work but is so lovely. I really like your Father Christmas mug rug - the blue is very nice. Yesterday I was putting away my Christmas items and noticed that I'd only put a label on one small quilt and I had used the method you showed ... hmm, not sure why I didn't do the same with everything. Have a wonderful 2014!
Love the mug rug, the back is just as neat as the front. Hope you had your cup of tea.
A Happy New Year to you!
Happy New Year! The bread looks delicious, and what beautiful mug rugs!!!

Your Santa's Village is looking great, Lynn! I never got past the first one because I'm stitching them individually and not happy with the fabric I chose and the size it turned out to be. Maybe it will be something I work on in 2014.
Love the mug rug you're working on too. What kind of fabric are you using?
Happy 2014!
Love your mug rug. I want to make a few this year. That bread looks delicious.
Oh, that mug rug is so adorable, Lynn!! You make things looks so easy--not sure if I could make one without you by my side instructing me!!
Lovely progress on the village, too...I'm sure you're looking forward to finishing this one up.
Oh, homemade bread--my weakness!! Even more so than chocolate :)
Very pretty and the home made bread looks so good.
I wish you a cheerful new year!

Dear Lynne,
You do such beautiful work...I just love visiting your blog! I have a question...do you use "wonder-under" or any type of fusible interfacing on your pieces? I'm wondering about the edges...
Sweet blessings,
Laura
Your Santa's Village inspire me.
Look simple, nice, colorful.
One of my wish list project.
Can't wait to see your post of the progress.
Hope I can make My Santa's Village.
