LK "Good Night Santa"....

 
About a month ago Angela over at the Lizzie Kate Lovers Blog suggested a weekly LK Stitching Day.  I figured I could squeeze this into my Crazy Challenge stitching so I jumped right in.
 
LK Good Night-Santa '04
LK "Good Night Santa '04"
Stitched on 18 ct. Aida with DMC
 
 Four weeks later I have another finish. 
I love Santa in his striped pajamas!  Such a
nice change from the traditional Santa garb.   Hopefully this one will be finished as a flatfold or cube before this Christmas.  I can't  believe I was able to finish it in a month only stitching one
day a week.   I would love to finish all of these
annual Santas so I am off to find another to start next week.

I am so close to finishing BBD "Their Song"
but I am supposed to be doing my stitching
for the Pals retreat in October.  I just can't put down those blackbirds so I think I will
trudge ahead and hopefully be back soon with
my next Challenge finish.

  4. What a gorgeous finish. Congrats.
    Had a giggle when reading you can't put down "Their Song". I know that feeling, sometimes a piece grabs you and becomes addictive doesn't it?

  12. Those BBDs are like a drug, aren't they? You just can't move away from them. I try to cut myself off for a bit but always get lured back. ;) I bet your Their Song looks great!

    Have a great weekend!

  20. Great finish Karen!! I love those LK Santa's.
    I've been going crazy trying to get BBD Their Song. I LOVE that design! But everytime I catch it on Ebay the price goes through the roof.
    One day I hope to stitch it!
    Can't wait to see yours finished.

  22. What a cute Santa!! I love those striped PJs too. I have quite a few of these in my stash but have yet to stitch a single one. It's high time I dug one out!

    I had trouble putting down Their Song as well. I loved the colour combo it used and finally finished it while on vacation. It will be off to the framer's soon. Can't wait to see your finish!

  23. Such a cutie! The LK series will be adorable! Their Song is singing to me, too, but plan to stitch along in August for PALS. Speaking of PALS, hope to see you tomorrow!

  25. Of course I love it. It's a Santa and it's a Lizzie*Kate!! That sounds like fun scheduling a specific designer for a specific night each week. Great idea!
