So this weekend saw the first of my seven Summer Of New Starts. I was feeling in a Christmassy mood so chose a Christmassy project - not that I got far enough into it to stitch the Christmassy bit, but the thought was there!
I must say I really really enjoyed stitching a new project and, as a result, made a fairly good start on the sky:
Stitch count 56 wide by 56 high
Stitched on 16ct Antique White aida 2 over 1
Stitching time to date - 3 hours 25 minutes
There are four in this set and this is what they'll look like when (eventually) finished:
This project now gets put away, but when it reappears I plan to stitch the snow and the tree in the new Etoile thread and use beads for the baubles. I think you'll agree there's no harm in a bit of bling at Christmas?!
I'll be back this time next week for the second of my Summer Of New Starts, but between now and then I've plenty of other stitching I need to do!
Take care,
Rachel x

It is always pleasant to start a new project and these Christmas Tree Snow Globes look very pretty and will be lovely with the Etoile thread and beads, great start.
Love your new start Rachel. Now I need to get those.

I love your first new start! The tree and cottage are my favorites of the four.
Love it! Love the set. Of course haha. Great new start!
Great new start Rachel! Those snow globes are cute. Bling is a good thing anytime of the year, especially Christmas!
What a lovely set of snowglobes! They will look fabulous when they are finished.
Great progress so far. Her designs are so cute and it looks like a really fun stitch.
That's a great start and a very cute project too.
Love your ideas of extra bling on these. Yes, definitely Xmas needs a little extra pizzazz!
Great idea to use the Etoile, I haven't bought any yet. These snow globes are cute. You've chosen my favourite to start with.
Those snow globes are gorgeous. I look forward to seeing yours progress x
Oh love these! And yes Christmas does require bling as does every day of the year LOL!
