All that's left to do is that small area in the bottom right hand corner...
I've contacted Dimensions for replacement threads, and they've always been good at getting replacement threads out quite quickly....hopefully this time will be the same. I'm planning on bashing on with the back stitching so that when the threads arrive it won't be too long till I can call this one done!
And speaking about back stitching, here's the Christmas stitching that I was working on in my last post......
...and here it is now...
What a difference the back stitching (and good lighting!) makes! I added some silver blending filament to the white on the snowflakes, but unfortunately the camera doesn't pick up the sparkle....it is rather subtle!
So at least I have one finish for this week...and it's in time for Christmas...woohoo!
Until next time...happy stitching!

Great little finish. Oh that's so frustrating about the thread, it's looking absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see it all finished!!
How annoying! I always thought that Dimensions were generous with threads but I've seen this happen to a couple of stitchers fairly recently. I hope replacements arrive soon!
Your little teddy is just gorgeous.
Argh no! It is so frustrating when that happens! And I believe it is a crafty law that if you run out of a thread, no matter how big your stash is, you will not have the thread you need ;-) The Lighthouse is looking amazing though! Also your festive ted is beautiful. XOX
Ohh no and so very very close!!! It's just going to be gorgeous though! Wow love that backstitching on the little bear. What a huge difference!!! Love it! Congrats on the finish.
So beautiful
you are doing a very great work
Two fantastic stitches
Congrats on the cute bear finish. I hope you get your thread fast, this is such a lovely design:)
That sucks you're so close! At least you have other projects to work on lol they both look great!
beautiful stitching, not enough threads ahhh
The little bear is so adorable !! Congrats on the cute finish :) I hope you get the threads soon, the almost done also looks awesome. I am not a perfect stitcher like you and frankly speaking don't have the patience to write to the company and get the things. I just use whatever I have in stash. If I don't, mine will be a WIP forever.
You're so right about the backstitching (and good lighting!) making all the difference. He's so sweet. Well done!
I do hope your thread arrives soon. Beacon at Daybreak really is quite stunning and I would love to see it finished before Christmas... no pressure! :)
Love the light house it looks beautiful and so does your Christmas stitch .
Have a great day.
Both projects are beautiful! Running out of thread is the worst. I hope you're able to finish soon:)
Very beautiful!! Mariuccia
Oh no, this is so frustrating!! Especially when so close to a beautiful finish. What a wonderful design to have been working on :)
