Good morning!
This is Coupe de Noel by Collection Tra la La
I stitched it on 28 count evenweave that I dyed with Rit dye in apple green then coffee tea dyed ..I changed the floss colors and used all Classic Colorworks in the colors ...Cocoa Bean ..Black Coffee ..Cherry Cobbler ..Rainshower.. Bamboo.. Perfect Piecrust ..Jolly Holly .. Spinach
I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. and also mounted red/ white buffalo check fabric on sticky board .. I added ruffles to the sides with white fabric with red polka dots .. both of these fabrics came from our Christmas finishing fabric pack from the Fat Quarter shop available here 
I had Chelsea cut me a piece of the shiplap they had left over from Cash's nursery and I glued it to the board .. I made a bow from plaid ribbon and added a glitter snowflake and a reindeer to the top of the snowflake ..I added flocked picks behind the bow ..
I started this for Stitchmaynia and it is my 15th Stitchmaynia finish ..Love it and I am so happy to have it ready for this Christmas

This is one of my Stitchmaynia starts and I started him on the way home from the Midwest Cross Stitch retreat in Minnesota ..

Black Coffee and bamboo were the colors I used .. I stitched him on 28 count Tea/ coffee dyed evenweave . I found the red and black easel at Hobby Lobby .. I added buffalo check fabric to a sticky board and also mounted the stitching on sticky board ..
two ribbons .. one red check one buffalo check were used for the bow .. A snowy white pick with red berries and a pinecone topped off the bow ..
.Christmas decorating is in full swing over here and I can't wait to share all the trees an decorations!
