I've been thinking that I should stitch something Christmassy. Not to make in time for Christmas this year, but to work on over Christmas, which is usually the only time I feel much like doing Christmas stitching! I don't usually go in for over-the-top, colourful Santa pictures, but that's exactly what I'm thinking of this time! I've had a look on Sew and So, and there's a couple I saw that appealed ( this one and this one). I wondered if anyone can suggest anything along the same lines that I might not already have seen? Pictures or stockings would be good, probably not a tree skirt (though if I see one I like enough I may not be able to resist!), banners too, especially if they're on pretty hangers); not ornaments and not cushion-fronts stitched on low-count fabric. TIA!

both very nice, the kind of project I would do, but it would be the second one for me, great choices Newton.

They are both lovely designs. I like the santa in the window.

2nd one for me too Newton.

Ta for the comments - I particularly like that one too!

get them both Newton and then you can decide which one to do first

i like the window one too

You're a bad influence!

I am stitching the 2nd one but at the moment its in my box upstairs.L&L have a nice Santa Chart.As do Mirabilia.

Just had a thought have a look on e-bay as a lady on there sells Dimensions kits for about £20.00 or so.

I usually have some kits in wip that only are stitched on during that season. But right now I realized that I have none of them on the go. The last two things I finnished last year (x-mas and easter)
Maybe it's time to start one of them... but then again I want to finnish my wolf project first since it's starting to go on my nerves. But that's ok since it's a snowy landscape so a bit x-massy is already there.

Candy Cane Santa is the one I prefer although Santa's Secret is also good. Write each one on a piece of paper fold it and let someone choose one for you.

I love the second one

I like Candy Cane Santa too!

My vote is for #2, also. But I like Piper's suggestion as well!
