I stitched another section of the "Christmas Garden" by Blackbird Designs today.  I hope to finish this by the end of February.  We'll see!

I'm stitching this 2/2 on 30 ct. Weeks Dye Works, natural linen.

I wanted a brighter version, so I changed all the flosses. I'm using DMC 115 for all the red, Classic Colorworks Pine Needles for the green, Weeks Dye Works Bee's Knees for all the yellow sections and DMC 783 for all the pots.  I stitched the deer in Classic Colorworks Almost Auburn.  I also used a Petite Silk Lame Braid in gold to add shine to the pots and for some of the horizontal border lines.  I'm not sure what color I will do the text in.  Most likely I will use the darker gold floss (DMC 783). 

This pattern is found in the "Home for the Holidays" book from Blackbird Designs.  I found it at 123Stitch.
